From the title of this post, I bet you thought this post would be some sort of Halloween tale about ghosts and goblins appearing on my eo's display. . . right? Not exactly!!
Actually, I'm up in Milwaukee, WI attending the 72nd IAAO annual convention and had a chance to have breakfast this morning with Robert Smoote and Mike Unser, both of Apex.
After breakfast, I took the opportunity to walk over to the Exhibit Hall with them to get a demonstration of the new Nexus sketching product being unveiled to the Assessors.
While Robert Smoote was unpacking his Motion Tablet PC he happened to refer to the case that it was in as his "Batman" case because the exterior was molded and shaped in a similar fashion as Batman's costume. Seeing that, I mentioned that I has found a similar case for my eo UMPC at Best Buy. That got me to thinking that I should probably share this case with others.
The case I bought is by Case Logic and is designed as a CD/DVD case. I bought mine from Best Buy for around $13.00. Like Robert's case, the exterior is firm and molded for good protection and grip-ability. The case measures 11"H x 6-3/4"W x 1-5/8' and has a rigid, molded, black EVA foam exterior with zippered enclosure.
It's pretty slick because it holds the eo firmly inside, even with the extended battery. I haven't cut out the vinyl CD holders yet and in fact have stuck some business cards and sticky pads in there.
So if you're looking for an inexpensive case to make sure that your UMPC does not go "Bump" in the night, take a peek at the Case Logic cases at your local office supply store.
