Charles,
What are you looking for? A flip cover? Another screen? Both? Some people
were able to order flip covers at some point directly from Apple, but I'm
not sure that the item is still on Apple's item list. They were going for
$15, IIRC. Screen replacements have never been available, except from a guy
in Canada that apparently has a white backlight. There is also Mr. Grier, I
think, that is working to offer a screen replacement kit. Other than that,
you're unfortunately on your own, and would have to send your Newton to
Apple for repair to have the screen replaced.
