Good Cases for Zoomer...

After a good tip from PDC John and an afternoon of looking at almost every commonly available organizer, I have found a great, cheap case for the Zoomer. So that others do not have to go to such outrageous lengths to find these, here is a DETAILED description.

The case is a Mead Cambridge SoftWare Personal Zipper Day Planner, Part Number 47064 Asst. The one I purchased had dark blue cloth, bordered with leather, and with a zipper on three sides. Originally discovered at a Sam's Club Wharehouse store, I picked up one at the local Target for about $17.00. To use it, simply remove the piece of cardboard with the rings attached, and the pad of paper at the back. Place the lid from your Zoomer in the slot where the pad of paper was secured, and viola, instant PDA case.
It also has a lot of nice slots on the left flap of the case, just screaming to hold PCMCIA cards. I had no problem using my Zoomer, and even changing PCMCIA cards while the unit was in the case.

Mead also makes another, smaller binder that works, the FiveStar First Gear Student Day Planner, Part Number 50260. This was the first day planner I picked up. It has the same arrangement for the pad of paper and rings, but with only 2 slots on the left flap. It also has a problem in the form of a zipper on the left flap that could scratch the screen.
Without much trouble you could cut out the zipper, and still have a good case for your Zoomer. This case has the advantage of being cheaper, I bought one at a local stationary store for $12.00.

All things being equal, I prefer the zippered case, as it's bigger, and it has more places to put things.

Now if I could only find the time to finish all those Zoomer apps.. (GeoBooks, GeoSlide, GeoBattle, etc.)
