Boy, I have to agree with everything you said! I carry an M500 - tiny - (also used to use a DayTimer) and haven't looked back - it has become indispensable.<br><br>I don't need the info on it for "survival". I do carry it with me on outings - I switch to a padded leather wallet and carry it in a cargo pocket. No problems so far - and if it gets ruined, I'll just have it fixed or buy a new one. Like you, my data exists in multiple (backed up) locations.<br><br>I think there is an Otter box for these now, but I haven't seen one. It's probably bulky, but that may offer the most bombproof way to carry a Palm device on outings. Anyone seen one?<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Scouter Tom<br><br>
