Default Man's never ending quest for protective perfection...

...leads to man trying all sorts of odd combinations when thinking of packing for a trip.

This is my Nintendo DS (none of that Brain Training nonsense, I am strictly a Lego Star Wars man) and it's £5 semi-hard case. I have realised that the case is also the perfect size to take my IID (sans lens) and pack it safely (in hand-baggage, of course). It even has little elastic thingies in each corner that stop the camera from falling out. Given that I shall probably use the DS on the flight rather than the IID this seems like a sensible swop.

Regards,

Bill

Fine solution... does it work with an Elmar collapsed mounted on ?

That's a very bright idea Bill.

Luigi, I *wish* it did - that would be ideal.

What I *really* want is a stout (leather) case that will fit the IID snugly and fit on my belt horizontally, with the opening at the top. I would pay good money for that.

Regards,

Bill

Now *that* is a good idea... I already have two of his works of art...
