nimblem,

I've also used the PEz in Iraq. In fact, I'm typing this from an internet cafe at the airport in Baghdad while I wait to see if the sandstorm lifts. I find that the CaseLogic case designed for the Sony Pocket works great to keep the sand out. I haven't found any inside the case, and I often carry it in my pocket. The PEz is nice because it's small enough to fit in a pocket, rubberized for an easy grip, and doesn't get hot to the touch like metal and plastic cases. I'd recommend a book light for him also, as I have the most reading time in airports and airplanes, and they don't have the best lighting conditions.
