Case For The New T1

DYARNES
Hi All,
 
One of the first things I did after building the T1 was to look for  
something in which to store it.  Amazingly, I had something already that  seems to
work very well.  It's a case originally intended for one of my  earlier Pocket
PC's. My wife keeps that unit on her bedstand now, so it  isn't being used.  
 
This case (I am pretty sure it was after-market, and not included  
originally) is for the Compaq 3800 series, which are a bit larger than most of  the ones
now being sold.  Anyway, the T1 fits inside very nicely.   This case gives
the T1 a nice protective cover for transporting, although you  will probably
want to remove the battery first since those little buttons are  easy to push
when closely covered.  I don't remember what I paid for it,  but it was probably
only around $10 or so.  Cases intended for that  size of Pocket PC are
probably a slow moving item now, and may well be  discounted.  I'll keep my eyes open
when I'm out and about, but thought I  would mention the nice fit in case
anyone else was wondering what to look  for.

Hi Dave,

Minor point here: you shouldn't have to *remove* the T1's battery for
transport, but instead just flip it around backwards. This takes just a
couple of seconds because the clips are built into the box. (And in
fact you can either flip it end to end or just rotate it so the
terminals are backwards -- either will work, because the T1 has
reverse-polarity protection.)

This is mentioned in the T1 Owner's Manual.
