Hey,

Does anybody know of any people/companys that are making a protective plactic case for vision handset yet? Mines starting to look chromed already. Cant be hard to make, I just lack the tools!!!

Unfortunately, don't know of any - although I have looked around the internet to no avail. My handset is also starting to collect quite a lot of scratches and I know it is only a matter of time before the screen takes a big knock (has a minor scratch already).

Will be interested if you find any sources.

To protect your screen, put a clear piece of packing tape on and trim the edges. Simple to install and inexpensive to replace.

that's a great idea!...but still, i was wondering myself, what about a gummy rubber case like they make for ipods...it would save the case from scratches and probably make it a little more shock resistant. anyone have ideas for making one from scratch...like just rubberising the case (avoiding the buttons of course)? would it be safe, any downsides?

I started making a clear plastic cover for Lou's Vision, I got as far as cutting out the shap - just need to bend it now.

Hi Guys

I have a lady who can make nice protective cases made to measure in neoprene, I had them made for classic handsets but can easly adapt it to fit a vision/ Meg Etc.

Cost around 10 pounds plus p&p.
