Hi all! I'm not dead (again), and to celebrate I made a post (: O).

How do you protect your pocket pc from everyday hazards such as water, dust, ect? Do you carry it around in a special case for it or do you keep it home safe and sound? I myself am looking around for a small case to carry my 320LX so if anyone has any suggestions for that I'd be heckin happy.

I await deh responses meow.

The 320LX/360LX/MC12/MC16 came with faux-leather cases they attached to with velcro. I wouldn't worry about protecting it though, the plastics are very tough.

One way we protect them is to call them by their correct term, Handheld PC. We don't use the P-word here.

I keep my 360LX in an Otterbox that is also the perfect size for the Jornada 680/690/710/720/728 as well as for the Sharp Mobilon HC-4500/HC-4600.

I have a special case for my Sigmarion 3, which is made for it. I think it was bundled with the Sig 3 or something, not sure.

Mine lived in my jacket pocket when it was my daily driver. It also has a Microsoft travel case too with all the bits in it. That's where she lives even to this day

OK...how about the "Jacket Pocket PC"...for a Jornada 720...my means of transport/protection. Mum always used to say: "Don't forget to use Protection! Better yet..stay with handholding...and avoid those tempting pockets" I wish I'd listened to her!! Thus some prefer "Handheld"Lol

Yes, oh dark and demanding one

I must say... it has been a very long time since anyone here saw Lucie.

Say hello to Lucie everyone if you haven't met!

Lucie is the entire reason HPC:Factor/c e 3 2 0 ever existed in the first place you know!

The Ethernet card is missing from the other pocket. I think I saw it in the attic a couple of weeks ago actually

Mice that size were marketed with the Sylvania netbooks for a while. I have one too. Not that comfortable to use with my big hands though.

You didn't say hello

They still make them . That one has a PS2 converter somewhere as well. Like with CE Geek, I don't find them especially ergonomic to use, but it's had its useful moments over the years.

Hello :•

Yeah considering its size it's probably not the best to work with however it would be certainly functional in many different ways.

I protect mine by leaving it where it sits…in the bottom of a cardboard box full of junk somewhere in my closet…

Sad fate for a device that cost me over $900 originally…
