Soft Case for the Sig3?

I'm so enjoying my @stingraze-purchased Sig3 and now wonder how to protect it. Its US dimensions (we have such a hard time with metric over here) are 7.5" x 4.6" x .82"

Tough numbers to come up with something close on Amazon or ebay.Any suggestions?

I had forgotten how well the Nexus 7 sleeve fit the GPD Pocket 1, and the Pocket has the same dimensions as the Sig3. Couldn't find it new (but I already had a spare) but this is form-fitting:

Good to know on the parallel with the nexus 7. That might make it a lot easier to find various bags and things!

Mine came with a soft case branded "PalmPal" which I haven't found anywhere else.

For instance, wonder how this would work:

I have mine in the soft case and then just carry it around in my regular bag with my other stuff.

@thenzero I go for the form fit more than the carry bag, and the Nexus 7 sleeve is just that. It has a slot for very small peripherals, and no seal at the top, so things could spill out. I carry earphones and cf wifi card in tiny hard case.

That said, all this mobility is a little silly for a wifi-challenged device that will almost never leave the house (when needed, I run WEP 128 on a second router at home)

Mine gets on wifi just fine and I take it with me everywhere, including on work trips.

Huh. You're getting WPA? @Alt Bass mentioned that the Aegis WPA workaround didn't work with 4.1, only 4.2.

Yes. Aegis WPA works (with some cards), even with AES and in mixed mode (router set to WPA/WPA2)! That way my modern devices don't complain about the security and they can all live happily on the same router

I am using a lower power spectec SDIO card for wifi. I have not experimented extensively with CF wifi, but enough to know that it works also with the right card.

Looked up Nexus 7 dimensions and what I found says: 7.81 x 4.72 x 0.41". All's good except for thickness. Sig 3 is 0.82", twice as thick.

So, assume that the Nexus 7 sleeve will stretch OK to allow for the thicker Sig 3 ?

Good catch Mark.

It should be fine for you. It's tight, but not dangerously so, IMHO.

Jake

That's good to hear....

Thanks, Jake.

Awaiting my recelled Sig 3 from ol' stingraze....so can't test wifi yet.....

I have a Symbol Spectrum24 LA-4137 CF card and an Ambicom WL100C-CF CF card. Do you know if they'll connect to WPA?

Also, still have my trusty ol' reliable Socket 10/100 ethernet card.....

Mark

Thanks, tz....

That's exciting!

I don't know about those cards specifically; the only CF card I've tried is an ambicom wl54-cf. Happy to try and get you up and running when you get your sig back.

Due to the limited space supported by the SD slot (2GB), I typically use the CF slot for storage space and the SDIO port for wifi. I have also found and previously reported that the USB port will also support mass storage but I think it's too slow to be the primary. Sadly I have not yet found a working USB ethernet solution although torch and I have tried several that seemed likely.
