- It's hard to hide the annoying sound of the ubiquitous
- beeper, but now you can improve its appearance. The latest
- fashion accessory for those who like to stay in touch is the
- beeper cover, available in quilted, metallic or even mock-
- crocodile leather. At $22 to $26, the cover is a hot item at
- Macy's and other department stores. "Sales have tripled since
- its introduction four months ago," says Jerry Gelbwaks, president
- of Do-Rio, which distributes the covers for the manufacturer,
- Beeper-Tux. Experts predict that the use of beepers will
- increase more than 16% this year, but with some of them under
- wraps, who'll know?
