Opinions: Bi-Fold Leather case
| KnightM | Use it Daily, works great | 
| I have been using the case for awhile now, and it has been great. For a student in school, the velcro is a bit loud and does call attention to you. Besides that, it works great and holds my pilot pentopia pen in there too ;) |
| SvZurich | Very useful |
| I enjoyed having paper to write on, more pockets to store items, and I think this is a very smart design! |

| Lower expectation! |
| VisorUser | Nice but not secure. |
| I bought the $49.95 case with my Platinum. The case is nice. On the other hand, the way the visor "clips" into the bi-fold is not something I'd bet on holding my $300 plastic toy. The black sewn in clip holds the Visor about as secure as if I were carrying the visor around by the tips of my finger nails. Case nice. Method to secure visor in case - risky at best. |
| Anonymous | too bulky |
| I bought this case because it was the only one available for my prism, i liked the fact that it doesnt use velcro, but once you start to put a couple of credit cards in it, it starts to get really thick really fast. A zipper option would be really cool. |
| DB-AK | Decent Case |
| I spent a lot of time reading about cases before I decided to commit to this one. I was disapointed to find that the case doe not hold my Visor as "tightly" as I had expected. My Visor will fall out if I move the case or the device a bit when it is open. Other than that, the case is very nice, it fits well in my jacket's chest pocket, and it is secure when closed. I think a zippered version would be a nice option. |
| Chip | Bulky, but it works |
| Here's a tip: Don't buy this case unless you really want to replace your wallet. If you do want a wallet/Visor-case combo, this thing can't be beat. It takes a while to break in, but it's worth the wait. Also, if you're going to gripe about price, then you shouldn't have dropped a couple hundred bucks to buy a PDA. Use a paper calendar instead. |
| Anonymous | It suits me |
| I work in the AV industry. I've gone through three Visors due to them being cliped on my belt moving gear & cases. Lean the wrong way over something and CRACK. Now that I use the bi-fold. This forces me to carryfully place it elsewhere to do extrenious work. With my DL and C-Cards in it, I never forget it. |
| NPS | Bulky, yes, but still useful for some... |
| I received my bi(tri)-fold as a gift so I really cannot complain... I feel this case would be better for women, or at least men who often carry around a briefcase or somesuch. It's bulky (b/c it fits nearly everything you'd need, sans change) but it does replace a wallet (unless you're hung up on your big-name status-symbol wallet of course) and I've enjoyed the way it leaves one less thing for me to search for: if I have my wallet I have my Visor, and vice versa. Keep in mind though, this could lead to a double-whammy if you lose your bi-fold or worse, it's stolen.
Suggested improvements: yes, a coin purse area, and it should come in an adjustable snap or better yet, a roomy ZIPPERED version too, the velcro is LOUD and always calls attention to you. Depends if you're into that :-). I'd be interested in looking into slimmer cases for the heck of it. Men, I hate to say it but the Visor is bulky in general, and the cases only add to the bulk, my male friends fare better with Palms. Sorry. |
