Nice, thanks!

BTW, keep in mind-- those mega rest areas along the NE corridor of I-95, & on the Garden State Parkway (in NJ right near the NY border), as well as in some malls, there are kiosks marked "Leather Direct". They carry great black, chocolate brown, and honey-tan cases, all $6 per or 2 for $10. Various models. Some with pinch clip-on's, others with a slide-the-belt-thru-the-loop doohickies, as well as waist bags. The cases are a perfect fit for the TH55 (and slightly longer TG50). One even has a dual compartment-- TH55 slides in one and zips shut across the top; the other flap-over closes for a candy-bar style cell phone. Used it today while traveling interstate. Great- pulled out the TH55 for WiFi connects; then, the Nokia 3650 to browse html and wap pages when no WiFi connections could be found. Laptop at home, resting --- finally!:p

And don't overlook the local Dollar Stores-- bumped into a tan leather zip case perfectly sized for a few memory sticks and a USB flash drive. Key ring section. Who knew, eh?!

(All rugged-- I'd been using 'em for the TG50 for about a year, with nary a sign of wear.)

Update: just saw a couple of these cases at Walmart's, near the computer software & music section, where they stash cell phone accessories. Read: keep your eyes open, folks, as ya never know where a goodie may be lurking! :p

Actually, PalmOne's TC/TW slipcase looks pretty nice. It's leather, open at the top, and has a simple belt clip. I almost got it, but found one of my old Visor Deluxe slip cases to use for the time being.
