cindyru: I have looked at the DecalGirl skins and am seriously considering that option. If anyone has DecalGirl skins and can comment on the quality, etc., I would love to hear it.
mokel: Thanks so much for linking that thread! I plan on just browsing a few local stores to see what they have in stock for screen protectors, and I think that information will help steer me in the right direction.
Gunner: That's another option I'm considering. Currently, I'm stowing my PE in an old At-A-Glance padfolio that originally held a spiral calendar/planner. It's a great size, but with no zipper to secure the PE, I've gone ghetto and am holding it in place with rubber bands on each side. I'm thinking of picking up some elastic from a fabric store and attempting to sew in some more permanent, less tacky straps.
Everyone: I just wanted to send some warm fuzzies out - this forum has already been an indispensable resource for me, especially when deciding whether or not to purchase the PE on the last woot sale. Thanks for being so welcoming and sharing all your knowledge and suggestions.
