I just ordered a Copilot 30 PDA Carrying Case from mobileplanet.com for
$34.95 + $7.64 shipping. Should be in the 1st of next week.
It was sized just a bit larger than my new 5600 so I hope it will fit snug with
my D-Link CDF-660W wifi card.

Will repost when it gets in.

I am looking into cases...

Does anyone know of any hard covered cases for the Z. I have a 5500. Also I was wondering if anyone has ever seen any sort of cradle that could be used in the car.. I would like to plug my Z in, in the car to listen to MP3s if possible but it would be nice if it was mounted nicely somehow.

Any ideas would be appreciated..

Copilot 30 PDA case is here. It seems to be made rather well.
The top flap fastens to the main part of the case with velcro and has plenty of space to handle the 5600 with it\'s DCW-660W wifi card installed. The sides of the case are a little too big and doesn\'t fit snug to the Zaurus (though this doesn\'t appear to be a problem and a little padding could always be added).

Looks like a keeper unless I just happen to come across something better down the road.

Hmm I just plug the zaurus in start the music up and shove it and all the wires into the glove box. Works a treat and nothing obvious to nick if anyone looks through the window :-)
Bought a cheap generic cigarette lighter psu that works great, I get my music and my zaurus arrives fully charged on long journeys.

These\'s a review of some nice cases, including a Xigma one here: http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/tips/Zaurus_...accessories.htm It says that Xigma will have an English site soon.

I like the look of the top one, the Extreme Body Suit. Seems that many of those guys cases are either discontinued or sold out though.

With my c860 soon to arrive, I\'m on the lookout for a nice case. Does anyone know if the C860 will fit in the Vaja Universal Pouch, the large one?

Howdy dh - thanks I\'ve seen that review. I wonder about that top \'extreme\' on that she liked so much. I don\'t like that she said it\'s \"bulkier\" than the others though.
I found this xigma site, in english
http://xigma.jp/en/02/slc700/index.html
...and these cases look cool except that there\'s no slots for buss cards, etc.

I wonder why they don\'t have more of their models on the English page. It looks as though the bi-fold case is only for the 700/750 so wouldn\'t fit the thicker 760/860.
I would like to have slots for cards as well.
The hunt continues!

Recently I ordered and received a Xigma case for my 5500. It\'s beautifully made, but...it\'s half suede. ICK.

I went back to Xigma\'s English page where I\'d found the case and ordered it before; I wanted to see if I\'d somehow missed that little detail about the suede. The English page is http://xigma.jp/en/. Under \"Carrying Cases\" is the \'Other\' link I used before to find the case for the 5500. The model is listed along with a bunch of other PDAs; but the links to the cases are all now dead. So I can\'t look at the pics again to see what I missed, and it seems that they aren\'t selling 5500 cases anymore.

Grr! Now I have a great looking case that I really can\'t use because it\'ll get crappy very fast. What were they thinking, making a PDA case half suede!!??

Squint,

the Ipaq h4355 (the model with the thumb keyboard) is about the same size as the 5500, just a little thinner.
A case for that Ipaq model may fit the 5500

Good Luck!

I ordered the PDair case for the 860 from http://shop.brando.com.hk/pdairzaurusslc760case.php
Assuming it arrives OK, I\'ll post a short review of it. Lisa at PDA Buyers Guide seemed to think it\'s good value for the money ($29.00) so we shall see.

Anyone know where I could buy one of these cases, or are they unobtanium?

I would have ordered one but their site is always \"sold out\". I\'ve not been able to track them down anywhere else.
