Title: 5600 Screen/Flip Cover
Post by: cgrieves on April 28, 2004, 08:27:18 am

Greetings. I\'m waiting for my 5600 to arrive from the US on Friday (My boss shuttles between our UK and New York offices and is bringing it back for me). Mine is secondhand and doesn\'t have a the flip screen cover- Not sure if this is a big issue as I intend on getting a slip case for it anyway, but I\'m just wondering if there\'s somewhere in the UK that can source me a replacement cover. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Corin.

Thanks for that.... unfortunately Amazon US won\'t ship to the UK any more (and Amazon UK, of course, doesn\'t stock this part...)

Anyone know of a UK source?

Doc, I assume that is the clear cover for the 5600 models specifically? If so, great find! Ive wanted one for my 5500 for a while... I like being able to see whats goin on!

edit : I meant \'clear\' as opposed to the opaque 5500 cover... just to make that clear

If you can\'t find a UK source, and Doc confirms that this is the clear screen (looks like it from the pics)... I\'ll probably order a few extra and I wouldn\'t mind mailing one to you. Just PM me if you want to work something out... I would think it would all be under $10 US. Time to go check out overseas shipping rates!

That would be superb, many thanks

Let me know what the rates would be and I\'ll cover it. If you take Paypal I can transfer funds whenever (plus a percentage to cover your withdrawal fees)

Thanks again,
Corin.

This should encourage me to set up that paypal account that I\'ve been promising myself I\'d get for months!

I don\'t know what you guys saw on amazon, but that link above \'clearly\' :wink:  shows that it is the opaque cover.  Notice the Zaurus Logo in the center?  You don\'t get that on the clear cover...or at least mine doesnt have it.
