What Case Do You Have For Sl-c3000?

Hello newbie here.
I recently got SL-C3000 and I am using Beilkin Universal Slim Leather case.

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage...oduct_Id=122965

The material of the case is really crappy and a little tight for depth-wise but anyway pretty fits good and this case can easily be found.

I've been doing some digging around for a cheap but functional case with room for accessories as I'm making plans to blow my tax refund on a C3000 in a couple of months.

I grabbed one of these (the PTA-801) at Microcenter for < $3 a couple of weeks ago. Can't seem to find it at the Microcenter site, though.

Anyway, it holds my 5500 in a cheap slip case, USB thumb drive, 2' USB cable, 7-way card reader, peakcloudy battery pack, plus CF wireless card and modem with room to spare. Might work for a 3000.

It's nice, heavy nylon, with a decent amount of padding, and seems to protect everything well enough bouncing around in my satchel. Plus, it looks more like a toiletry case than something that holds an expensive gadget, so maybe it'll deter theives.

Unfortunately, Microcenter doesn't seem to have it online. I found it in with the camera cases.

not really cheap, but definitely worth a look...

Thanks BW,

I saw XIGMA's product by searing on the web, and I actually sent an e-mail to them asking if they can deliver the product to US.  It was about a month ago.  I got a response saying they will open English version web page soon, but I haven't noticed that it finally opened.

Still wondering about a point.  It looks like their case cover's 'snap' is actually tied to the reverse side of the C3000.  Just like up side down from my Belkin one in the picture above.  Any idea which one is more useful and why?

XIGMA also have another case in their range, though at the moment only available on the japanese site:
http://xigma.jp/04/slc3000/mini6/index.html
asking them via email, they replied that they would also put this one on their english site: "Thank you for contacting us! We are sorry for your inconvenience, but SL-C3000 organizer models are coming soon also on our English site. You are kindly asked to wait for a short moment."
and wait we will... this one looks even better, though the price seems to be around $100 - nevertheless the c3000 wasn't the cheapest thing i've bought and in comparison the case seems still ok.

the case cover of the one case already available in english really seems to snap on its back, but when you look at the details it might make sense (IMHO):

if you open, you won't have it hanging in front of the z but rather hidden on its back...

and the search goes on...
for the more sportive ones:

there's a similar thread nearby: neopren case (for the 860):
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8918

and this one here should work fine as well

Hi all,

I recently purchased a Roots D2 beltcase for my SL-C3000 (CA$20, including taxes), it's a little bulky but the front pocket lets me fit the WiFi CF, the GSM/GPRS CF and the LAN CF cards, I will probably even be able to add a headset+microphone cord (for the GSM/GRPS card) and a classic audio headset as well in the inside compartment if properly folded...

Anyone have any knowledge as to whether these will work or not for the 3k?  The dimensions look like it would be within a mm or two short on length.  The pictures don't seem to show well enough if the SD slot would be covered or not, etc.  I suppose that is the kind of stuff that I could live with though.  I would be more concerned if it covered the CF slot.

Don't think it will work socalluckdragon...it says C7XX/C8XX but not C3XXX...so would be a bit too small...

Just got an email from Brett at Conics that PDAir case is now available for C3000.

He said that it's very nice like the other PDAir cases he already sells....

$59.....

 

HTH,

Great Perseus!

BTW, does this one have any pockets for stuff, like SD cards, etc??

Thanks,

Mark

Hey Mark,
It is blck leather with white stitching on the outside. It holds the Z in place from the bottom. It has two credit card slots and two sd card slots, a removable id window that doubles as a flap that protects the z from coming into contact with the cards. Also, the flap is inserted into a pocket that could be used for cash or folded checks. Look it up, www.pdair.com
