I haven't seen any cases available specifically for the Zoomer that look like
they would be very useful(room for an extra card, or pocket modem and cables,
etc.) or wouldn't make you look like Garth from Waynes World with an elctro-
zapper strapped on! But I have seen a few dayplanner-like cases for the Newton
that may work if you don't mind carrying something around rather than having it
hang from a belt. I tend to just use my briefcase since all of the above will
fit besides my Leatherman, any extra cables, disks, books and/or papers I need
for a trip(short - to the office, long - vacation, I know it's sick but I feel
naked without some sort of computer access!). For day to day use I will just
carry it as needed. BTW, if you're using your Zoomer alot a bit of
"transparent" (pardon the pun) protection over the screen by using a piece of
an overhead transparency film is very recommended!
The Newton cases I have seen were advertised in the back of Mobile Computing
magazine.
I tend to think of the whole Zoomer carrying matter in relation to a Star Trek
tricorder(just bare with me for a moment), where as the Zoomer is something
like the original series tricorder and really doesn't work well with our ideas
carrying it like the new improved tricorder from STNG. It seems the Zoomer
really wasn't designed as a belt or pocket utility in mind like maybe the newer
PDA's like the Pilot.
Just my $0.50 on the matter. :)
Regards,
Mike
