Hi

I found a nice case and with a little bit of foam rubber this is the absoulte bomb proof iLiad case. :D

You can get the case here (http://aluminiumkoffer.eu/gespritzte_KK/minibag.php).

Avoid screen crashes in your bag! I have bad experience.

It looks like a drilling machine case. Maybe you should print a manufacturer's logo of these things on your case to pimp the camouflage even more. I think it could be a nice eye catcher in the library. ;-)

I fear they wouldn't let me in my library with this case.."Yeah, we know and when you go out, you'll have a book in that thing shielded from the detectors..."

They are also sold here and they have partners in a lot of countries - so you just might ask them:

I've just ordered one of these:

http://www.alucases.de/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=57

It's just under 20€ (including P&P!) and looks like having exactly the right dimensions (although a bit on the heavy side weighing in at 700g). Probably I'll have to try different sheets of foam in order to get my iLiad bedded softly... :D

I'll keep you posted about quality and usability of this case.

Cheers,
- Don [:-], who also has some darts lying around, just in case the case doesn't fit the iLiad... :cool:

700g is heavy! My homeway is 300m up the hill with a bike every day :sweatdrop

Ah, but you have to look at the complete system weight: you + clothing + bike + water bottle + rucksack + iliad. A few hundred grammes more or less shouldn't make any noticeable difference there... ;)

Cheers,

Looks a little bit like a bazooka case, but i guess it will pay the bills so to speak.

A bit like a tractor seat on a carbon fibre bicycle I think.
