Shortly after getting my Zoomer, I found a case at the local Circuit
City for the Sega equivilant of a GameBoy (can't remember the name,
but they will know the product and where the cases are). It is made
by a company called Recoton and cost me about $12.

My wife made me get it after dropping my zoomer once or twice (luckly
not really damaging it). It has the main compartment in which the
Zoomer fits very snugly, and has good padding. It also has a zippered
compartment on the front that has 4 "webbed" pockets for storing
things. I can fit my pens and spare batteries in the pockets nicely.
I am also able to fit a couple 3 1/2 disks in the pockets along with
PCMCIA cards in the pockets. There is one pocket on the back that I
beleive the serial cable will fit nicely into.

To carry it, I have taken the shoulder strap and shortened it to
where it is about 1 inch from the top of the case (took a little bit
of sewing, but it looks fine). Now, I have a handle on the top that
makes it easy to carry.
