Carry case and alternatives

[Serafita]

So, having just upgraded my order to premium, I realised I didn't order a carry case. Even so, the carry case OpenPandora is selling doesn't really appeal to me too much. Has anyone found any third party alternatives for carrying the Pandora when on the move?

Are you looking for a hard shelled case or soft?

I use the case that my mom's new phone came in. With a bit of newspaper for padding, it actually fits very well. (I originally tried to cut the foam in the case to match, but then I gave up after I decided that I could be playing with my Pandora instead. ) At one point, I plan on getting a block of foam and cutting a bit so the Pandora goes in nicely. Newspaper works, but it's cumbersome.

I bought the official one, and it's very nice. I'll eventually get a hard shelled case, though, as that fits better with how I tend to treat the bag I keep it in.

I use the case that my pants have built right in. I believe the rest of the world calls them "pockets" or something.

I wouldn't mind both alternatives, actually, as both have their pros and cons. :3

i bought a lacie cozy case (orginally designed for portable 2.5inch drives) fits great, with room for a few sdcard cases and a usb to sdcard stick.


it has a flap pocket on outside as well.

Someone else on the forums found this item (I forget who sorry...) that is designed for a handheld GPS. I bought one and it's great. It is very lightweight, fits the Pandora perfectly (without having the shoulder buttons in constant pressed-in mode), and is a pseudo hardshell. By that, I mean, the shell offers resistance as a molded nylon fiber but is not a thick heavy aluminum/plastic shell. I got mine on Amazon for ~$18 USD. Here is a link:

I don't have need for a case personally (my Pandora's usually in a bag on my belt, to be honest), but I gather that cases for the original Nintendo DS, as well as the DSi XL, should fit fine.

Where is the Option: I did buy the offizial Carryng Case, but carry my Pandora since 2 Weeks in my Baggypants?

Two compartment case fits hand held in one side and accessories in the other.


Fits either of my GP2X, DS Lite, Dingoo, or Pandora. The case holds the system, charger, and accessories.


It offers basic protection and holds everything.


It has belt loop things so you can wear it like a 'belt bag,' I heard those are coming back in style :unsure:


As for the Pandora I keep the Pandora in one side.
