Hi Nick, I was looking for some sort of protective case (I saw those on eBay) but wasn't sure how much 'protection' that sort would offer? I intend to take my Libby motorcycle / camping a (I might let the family come too!) and it's likely it will get put in the trailer. Therefore it's possible to get something heavy / sharp / hard on it and wasn't sure how much of that the lid / screen could take ... so ... Whilst wandering round on the weekend I found (in PC World) a lonely Case Logic case for a ... erm ... another laptop (whisper Sony Vaio ..) that they let me have for �4.99. It's like a wet suit in that it's black, padded, zipped and smells funny (I made that last bit up). To provide physical protection I found a nice pink Crayola pencil set that when emptied of pens / pencils (into the kids colouring box) offers space for the Libby plus a few extras (12V adapter, spare battery etc) whilst being small enough to slip into a spare gap in the trailer. The case is made of that stuff washing up bowls are made of and would probably take a bit of weight and yet be light and fairly shower proof (it clips together like a clam shell). I'm still looking for something better but want to protect my 'baby' in the meantime .. All the best ..
