I am increasingly carrying my Zaurus these days and while I know there are no reasonably priced cases designed for the device (the piel cases from spain are a bit pricy), I was wondering if any of LQ's Zaurus users had found a good universal that fits the Z?

I made one. I found a small woman's purse with a hard camouflage colored case . I rewound the strap to make a waist belt so that the case rides like a fanny pack. This purse cost me $3.00 on the close out counter. Then I cut up the styrofoam from the original Zaurus box and created an inner lining such that the Zaurus fits snuggly in a padded case.

the babes must be all over you when you wear that.

I have the chairmanscase from expansys, I think it's too big though. It adds conciderable size (as most cases do) and I don't use it anymore. I wish they could make a smaller linux pda with emphasis on mobility and battery, allthough the added fuctionality makes me more and more interested in the c860. I'm getting frustrated by all the linux pda/phone makers that make devices for windows users only.

My point is, if they made a smaller linux pda/phone one could maybe put it in a case without it getting too bulky, I miss my palmVx and the "flap" it had in front of the screen, allthough the zaurus is more like a computer than a pda

I found one. It only comes in Red now but it is way cheaper than the piel frama cases and even cheaper than the exsomthing cases. It can be had here
