Question

I have just purchased my visor, and i decided to go with Rhodiana case, the one that i can clip on my belt. But what about my Stowaway keyboard, Is there any good cases for that, Preferable VERY durable... ($90 keyboard is not something I want to break.)???????

Thanks

Target has black CD cases in several different types materials that fit a Stowaway perfectly for $10.

I was going to post about this exact topic--Colt beat me to it though . I just got a Stowaway too and want to protect it for school. But now back on topic

Charo: What's the brand name of these cases? You wouldn't have the exact name or anything that would distinguish the produt would you.

No, sorry. Just saw them last night. There was a wide selection size and style wise for CDs all the same brand, which I don't remember.

How bout a belt clip case? You could carry one on each hip, and if your fellow cow-orkers have a similar setup you could have a showdown at lunch time.

I believe that the Landware BurroPak "shoulder holster" has enough space in it to hold both a Visor and a Stowaway.

Then you'll really look like you are packing heat...

I was watching TV and noticed a commercial for Mead school supplies. Many of you know them from those zipper soft binders with multiple compartments and a ring binder in the middle. I used to love these things but went w/o one last year to see if I could lighten my load. But back on topic.

I noticed that they have ones that are a bit bigger than a dayplanner. This might work well for a Visor and/or Stowaway I thought. Has anyone been school-supplies shopping yet enough to comment? I will definitely look into this when I do my shopping in a week or so.


Update: I found Mead's website, found this.


The description on the page is as follows: available in 11-inch (33570) $15.60 and 9.5 x 6-inch (33578) $13.60 sizes, with two- or three-subject college ruled notebook with perforated sheets, class schedule and planning calendars

I went with the RhinoPak 2000. It works great for travel and I imagine it will work great for school too (where I plan to use it most!). I hold the Stowaway with the straps that are meant to hold the Visor itself. I use the other side (mesh pocket) to hold the Visor w/ the hardcase in place. I put my extra springboards in either the front or back pocket and it all seems to be a great little package! Search this site for a thread regarding this case w/ the Stowaway - someone put up some great pictures!

I searched for the post and was unable to find it. Then I remembered, somebody had the pics but didn't have storage space so I hosted them for him. A quick trip through FTP and I found the pics that I had uploaded (boy do I feel dumb..). Here they are:

It looks like a great solution, until I looked at the price: $37 . I was thinking more like $15-$20. Thanks for the suggestion though. Others who are in worse despair may consider it though, but I can't justify the cost.

Whoa!! It's the perfect case!
I have been searching everywhere for something like that. I didn't know the Rhino Pack 2000 had so many pockets. $37 sounds like a great price, I remember buying the Hard Case for my PalmV (now gone) for $39, and that was just for a hinged piece of plactic... .

I second the RhinoPak 2000 suggestion. It works like a charm. And it's only about the size of a VHS viedotape when you have it fully packed!

I've just ordered my RhinoPak 2000 at the http://store.visorcentral.com

They are on sale and I think there are 3 left. The price is lower 15% off. I think it is the cheapest you could get on this product.

I hope I've made a wise descision.
