Actually I own a prerelease version of the OMP (model H1000) that does
have a screen cover which clips over the top of the unit and covers the
screen (and unfortunately eliminating access to the PCMCIA card slot in
the process.) I bought this Newton from list member John Venzon and have
a of couple photos that he shot showing the screen in place on the OMP
and the 'Newton Intelligence' logo stamp into the reverse.

I'm assuming that John won't mind me posting these images. I promise that
I'll have a few more larger photos posted soon.
