Cases & Conclusion

Visor+MJ in soft caseSo how are you supposed to carry the MiniJam with your Visor?  InnoGear includes a soft case that does the job but is a little tight.  The slipcase that comes with the Visor Deluxe also accommodates the Visor+MiniJam.  The Handspring Plastic Beltclip is perfect for the MiniJam, as it allows you to carry it at your side, while at the same time being able to access the MiniJam's buttons.  It also has the distinction of being the only current beltclip case that can hold the MiniJam.  InnoGear liked it so much, they are rebranding it and will be selling it on their website soon.

All of the RhinoPak cases can hold the Visor with the MiniJam inserted, although the RhinoPak 1100 is a little tight.  For waterproof cases, the Otter Box 2000 holds the Visor+MiniJam very snugly, although you may want to get the Otter Box 3000 so you can carry earphones.

Conclusion

The MiniJam by InnoGear is one of the most innovative products you can find in the handheld market today.  It combines a great user interface with seamless technology to provide great sound on the Visor.  While you can find cheaper standalone MP3 players on the market, none will provide all of the extra software and features that is found in this small package.
