Any one got any ideas (preferences on screen covers)? I just won an auction and my VDlx should be in this week. (wooohoooo)

Do you mean like WriteRights? I got the WriteRights for Palm III, and they fit the Visor screen fine. The top to bottom is perfect, and it's a little short side to side, but it covers the "useable" screen and only leaves about 1mm uncovered on either side (maybe less).

I've been using a peice of overhead plastic to cover my screen for months now, and it's great. I just cut the plastic out, and slid it under the outer plastic case that covers the edges of the screen.

No worries about scratching, and no one I show my visor to has any idea it's there. It is a little bit more reflective, though.

i tried using the writeright on my visor vdx that were designed for the palm 3 and for windows ce platforms. i found that the windows ce ones were "brighter" than the palm 3 versions. this allowed me to lower the contrast (which prolongs the battery). unfortunately, the windows ce writerights are a little smaller than the palm 3 version, but i have had no problems with it. it covers the usable area quite well.

I use the overhead transparencies as well. Unless you look close you wouldnt even know its there. No Glue no mess. Just cut it a hair wider than the screen and it will pop right in. The pen works fine, no noticable problems. Screen is safe and I dont have to pay through the nose for writerights.

I have been using sheets of acetate (I think it's acetate ... it's the stuff that clings to windows). I got them from a place called www.easypeel.com .

They material isn't marketed for the visor, but they work well. I cut the material to the right size, waxed it using car wax (allows the stylus to move more freely) and then applied it to the screen. Once in awhile the acetate gets "tacky" and I take some furniture polih (like Pledge), spray it sparingly on a soft rag, and wipe the screen down.

If you want to make sure all of the bubbles are gone when you put the plastic on, use a very small amount of dish soap in a cup of warm water, dip the acetate in the water, shake off the excess water and apply it to the visor.

Se far I have had ZERO scratches in the actual plastic of my visor and it works great.
