CF WiFi Card: You can't take it with you

[flipdoubt]

I grabbed one of those NetGear MA701 cards for my Dell Axim and got it working with my home WiFi without a problem. I've seen smaller, but it isn't the largest card I've seen.

Anywho, I'm about to leave for work (or maybe Starbuck's :wink and the CF card doesn't exactly fit in my case when I put the Axim in there with it. I even sprung for Dell's larger leather case, but no dice.

How do you guys bring these things around with you?

$4.95 Targus (yes with velcro) works for me. Has an elastic band on the other side where I house my CF WiFi card and extra CF 32MB card.

I found a small plastic box (at Muji) that is a perfect size for a couple of CF cards (memory, Bluetooth, WiFi). I've heard of others using a LowePro case from camera shops that takes a few CF cards and a PCMCIA adaptor. Should also cope with slightly larger WiFi cards.

I have enough PC card adapters and CF card accessories that I carry a separate bag (any small camera bag or travel bag will do) that houses all of my extras.

Take a look at this photo:

That is why I am seriously considering taking the plunge with a 5400! Carrying all of this extra stuff with me is negating the convenience of a POCKET device! I had the CF card in my front pants pocket (I had taken it out momentarily to show something that was on my CF memory card), and unbeknownst to me, I had somehow dropped the card on the ground! A friend next to me saw it lying there, and when I picked it up, I realized that I had also stepped on it!!!! (Yes, it still works!)

I want to consolidate as much as I can.
Ultimately, I want to get the 5400, with the largest SD card I can afford. No more carrying around CF this and CF that...
I want to picket up my device, walk out the door and know that I have everything I will need when out...

Take a look at the Grinder Gear cases (http://www.grindergear.com). They make a basecamp model that will hold the PPC and some "stuff" on the outside.

Thanks markcrump, the Grinder Gear cases look great.

Those grinder gear cases look great. On their site, you get 5% off if you do the survey and 10% if you can tell them the origin of their company name "Grinder Gear". I could not find it on Google or a search of their site, but it anyone knows, post it here.

I'd love to know as well.

These cases look nice. I would never use it day-to-day, but for special circumstances where I need everything well protected, this is great.
