Conclusion

The biggest advantage to the Flip-Clip is its ability to be used with oversized Springboard modules... most Visor cases can't make that claim. I like the ingenuity behind the Flip-Clip and think the design is good, especially for a first generation product. While I'm not thrilled with the current reproduction cover (I'll be honest, I don't like it because of the poor fit), I'm looking forward to the release of the Flip-Lid. A cover specifically designed for the contour of the Visor along with the Flip-Clip will be a slick accessory option for any Visor.

To find out more about the Flip-Clip, or to order one for yourself, visit the Tactilis website. Also, browse through the Flip-Clip FAQ for answers to many questions.

*** A note about the ratings below: The Flip-Clip by itself is worthy of a solid 5 rating. I have reduced Usability and Overall to 4 because of the cover's poor fit. Upon release of the Flip-Lid, I will re-assess and update the scores as appropriate.
