Are there dedicated cases you can buy for the 505?
Any tips?

Being a very recent, expensive, imported acquisition which hasn't yet got to the
familiarity breeds contempt stage, I'm slightly paranoid about breaking the screen on my 505 - stories like the above don't help! I looked at all sorts of options but nothing seemed to work (mostly size issues). Then my better half came up with the idea of a jeweller's necklace box. I explained what I was after and why at the first jewellery shop I tried (Ernest Jones). The manageress initially said that they didn't sell the cases seperately, but proceeded to produce one from under the counter anyway, and it fit like a glove (PRS in leather cover). It's also extremely durable and has additional padding in the lid, which gives extra protection to the screen. Of course it's a bit more bulky than just the 505 in its cover, but I feel really happy that it will provide protection against quite a large amount of abuse.
The best bit was that the shop manageress was so pleased that I was pleased to have found something that worked, she said that I could have the case for a small contribution to the company charity
, I was more than happy to oblige
