Review: Active Armor


Sun May 5, 2002 - 1:40 AM EDT - By Michael Ducker

Conclusion

The Active Armor Visor case is the best non-business case I have ever seen or even heard about in my life with a PDA. It protects the $199 Visor from the recklessness of a teenager, to the accidental drop from the careful father. If you tear the case or cut into it somehow, epoxy can fix it. It can accommodate almost any springboard, and has cut outs for every hole except for reset. Even so, you can add your own reset hole so no worries. The buttons are amazingly easy to press, and seriously, flip lids should be included on every device. More importantly, this case has an almost unheard of resistance to drops as shown by our controlled tests.

Accessories that will be available soon are different color flip lids to match every color of the Visor, and lanyards/carabineers that fit into holes on the bottom to make this into a belt clip case or a neck case. (Any mini-carabineer actually will do, it works great!)

Taking everything into consideration, I for my first time here at VisorCentral, award this case the VisorCentral Award of Excellence. It really does excel in all categories, and at $29.95, it is in no way expensive!
