Rhinoskin Shocksuit Sport Case and RhinoPak 3000 Utility Pak
The Rhinoskin Shocksuit Sport Case is made of therma e.v.a. foam (sounds impressive doesn't it? I wonder what e.v.a. stands for. Emotionally Viable Aardvarks?) and has a cutout for IR and the sync cable as well as a belt clip feature. It also provides pretty good protection for your Palm device.

Rhinoskin also makes the RhinoPak 3000 Utility Pak, shown in Figure F, for the person who has everything (and insists on carrying it all around). It fits the necessities of roaming the globe with your Palm device. I've actually done this. I had my modem, phone cord, sync cable (for paranoia's sake), cell phone, wallet, Swiss Army knife, moola, and sundry other necessities I needed for surviving in the wilds of Paris earlier this year. The RP3K has a shoulder strap for hands-free tourism as well as belt loops for those men terrified of the stigma of the man-purse. Boffo, a good one!

Convertible RoadMate
And finally , weighing in at 1.3 ounces, is the Convertible RoadMate available at PalmGear. Offered in lots of colors, this one caught my eye as a case with serious protection. It also has a flip-around stand for when you are at your desk, as shown in Figure G. This one has the added benefit of fitting all models of Palm devices as well.

Of course there are tons of cases out there that can be adapted to your personal style. Many bags and carryalls these days have organizer compartments that are perfect for your PalmPilot. All you have to do is think outside of the box, baby!
