If I haven't mentioned it previously, I use $4.00 Samsonite padded nylon camera bag that I found at Wal-Mart. It holds my 6k, a belkin kbd, a small usb hub and power supply, some cable and my tiny mouse. can be carried with a strap (it is a camera bag after all )or in my satchel. I think of it as a lilliputian laptop. The Z by itself goes in a pocket, if needed.

Hi,
Piel Frama (www.pielframa.com) produces beautiful cases for PDA's but at the moment they do not have a case for the sl-6000 (unfortunately). I've contacted them and asked if they have plans to start producing for this model. They would be happy to start making such a case, but they need a model of the sl-6000 for a couple of days. So my question is, is there someone who has a dead sl-6000 which could serve as a model. And are you willing to send it to Piel Frama (Spain). It will be sent back.

Hi -
Could Piel Frama use the examples that were provided by alge in this forum : http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3941&st=45 The dimensions are all cut out perfectly in alge's HOW-TO document. And if alge does not mind, maybe Piel Frama can use his specs. I'd written to alge several times before asking if he could make me one (!) and I'd gladly pay for it but I didn't get any reply... sigh... Just me thoughts. crespo QUOTE(insomniux @ May 9 2005, 05:19 PM) Hi,

I just found a case that fits the Z very well. It's a travel case for the Sony PSP, made by Headbanger Audio (www.headbangeraudio.com). It was ~$10 at Circuit City (yuck). It's a bit snug, but has enough room for a couple of CF cards. It's well padded, seems to be well made, and is much, much less bulky than the usual camera case.
They had other (larger) cases for the PSP + accessories that would have worked also. I can supply photos if you're interested. Mark |

If the sled only adds thickness (not length or width) to the Z, then it may fit--there's about 1/2" of spare depth in the case. Mark |

Hi,
Well, I did not find a broken SL6000 for Piel Frame to serve as a model, so I sent my own beloved one. And guess: I got it back and Piel Frama made the most beautiful case for me  . If you want to see it, you will find on their website. Search for the SL-6000 amongst the Sharp models.Again, it is really beautiful, and very neatly handcrafted of real leather. If you're interested go to www.pielframa.com where you can order it online. insomniux (PS This is no advertisement, I 'm just very happy that finally there is a company which makes a case for the sl-6000) |

Hats off to you and cheers to you for such an act.
The case indeed does look beautiful. All Piel cases are so well made - I am lusting after the C1000 case myself. Maybe someday soon... |

Wow that looks nice. I always thought the case for the clamshells made the clamshells look too bulky. This does not look true for the 6000. Will streamline carry it like they do the clamshell models?

I cannot say much about the clamshels. I know the pictures from their website, but have not seem them in reality. The case only adds a few millimeters in the height and width of the sl-6000. It indeed becomes somewhat thicker, but it does NOT look bulky at all. I have the impression that they added some extra material over the screen area, which gives better protection.

We will carry the case. I will work on getting the preorders up this weekend until the shipment arrives. Any color requests?
