Talking

got that in today, impressive, dont like the external finish though, seems to show prints easy and feels funny. Where can I get a case for it?

You can get an extremely nice leather zip case from the levenger catalog, a bit pricy though.... (www.levenger.com)

I too recently got one of these keyboards and
all I can say is COOL!
Look through this particular section of the discussion boards for some other threads pertaining to the targus kybrd. Someone suggested using a CaseLogic CD case
as a cheap alternative. Also, in the review of the keybrd on this website, they recomend a case from targus themselves.

Cheers,
R

yeah, the case logic (24 cd case) one can be used to hold the visor and keyboard and some other -smaller- sundries and can also be used under the keyboard when you're using it so that you can type on your lap. However, if your just looking for a keyboard case, its a bit large. The levenger (pda folding keyboard case) one is perfectly sized to fit the keyboard, and is sinfully nice leather.

I got a camera case from Target for about $8 that the keyboard fits nicely in. It also has a front pocket that holds springboard modules. I had my eyemodule, minijam and backup module in the front pocket along with earbud headphones.

No case?

I am pretty sure I will be getting one of these for christmas (sweet!) But I dought a case also. Is it safe just to carry it around next to my visor in my kaki's pants pocket?

It's safe, but a Visor and keyboard in your pocket might either look foolish or get you a sexual harassment suit against you.

If you carry the keyboard and the Visor in the same pocket, make sure you have a good, hard case to protect the screen. The keyboard is metal and has some hard and pointy corners.

Cool Visor + Stowaway Case at Best Buy

Best Buy carries a generic case which holds any Palm (velcro) AND a Stowaway (zippered compartment). The case is unique, in that the two are held back-to-back, with the Visor on top. I'd already have this very compact case, but hate the protection (or lack) of a leather flip-type case. Still, I may purchase it, then modify it to my liking. It's pretty inexpensive too (about $25). Well worth a look!

Cool

In case anybody is interested, a Visor and a Targus keyboard will fit quite nicely into a Landware BurroPak shoulder holster.

Get the LapTopHack and you'll almost have a laptop in your armpit.

OK, so are you going to tell us what laptophack does?

Sorry.
It does many things, but the main thing is it allows you to do lots of Visor tapping functions from the keyboard, so you don't have to stop typing and grab for the stylus.

You can read some glowing reviews here:
