Hey guys,
I have seen lots of articles on cases - and in fact I have a super leather Vaja one. However what I am looking for now, is a *sport* case - so I could theoretically use my NX70 when at the gym.
Leather is obviously inappropriate as sweat (eww) would stain and discolour any leather case. A hard case isn't very useful either (like the aluminum ones) given that they have no way of attaching to your body, short of going in a pocket which I won't have either.
I thought for a second, that I could just hold it, but that only works when running, obviously not a solution when lifing weights or similar.
Seems the only options I can find are:
Proporta neoprene zippered case

RhinoSkin sport cases

These guys seem to have the most useful ones:

GrinderGear

Now most of the above just seem like "sacks" which you would still have to affix to a belt - which I won't have... and I really don't want a fanny pack or something retarded looking. :-)
Basically I think something that would strap securely to the upper arm or to your upper thigh, or perhaps affixed in a secure and flush way about your hip or chest (ok, not so good for the ladies) - perhaps mounted sideways with minimal padding and bulk.
One possibility which is kinda odd would be to wear a shoulder-rig much like the police/SWAT... I mean you would look like a loon but hey my manager wears one every day to work. ;-)
It just seems a waste to spend another 200-300 CDN on a dedicate MP3 player when I already have an NX.
So who does athletic stuff with their NX/NR and how do you carry it about? Suggestions?
Thanks a LOT
