Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm looking into them. The Medge thing looks interesting but it doesn't look very crush resistant. Maybe I could slip some hard plastic into the outside cover.

That solar device worked out for you? I got some buddies doing a thru hike on the AT right now and they tried one of those solar things (dunno which brand) and literally all it did was drain their cell phone battery. They sent it home and have been charging it in town while they do laundry and such. I've been using my 505 for only reading over the last few weeks and I'm still way over 50% charge so I figured it wouldn't be too bad charging it when needed (I got a USB to DC charger).
