  • Check developer.sharpsec.com

The developer.sharpsec.com site (where the SL-5000D was first made available) contains a page that lists peripherals that will work on the Zaurus (including brand and model), as well as those they hope will work some day soon.

Are there cases for the Zaurus?

  • MI-E21 Zaurus Cases should fit

Cases for the Zaurus MI-E21, such as these available from Xigma in Japan (they ship to the US) fit the SL-5500. They are slightly different, though, and you cannot access the SD slot. It's hard to get the stylus out, as well.
