No worries - I'm sure I'll find the right case eventually! Yes, I really do like the Centro. Once I get egrips on it, I don't believe there will be any drawbacks compared to the 755p (and there are several advantages), except, of course, for the teeny battery. I've just adjusted again, being even more careful about charging the thing when I can. Sort of like my old favorite quote:
"I was reminded of the Old General who, mindful of the exigencies of sudden absorption in military affairs said: 'never turn down the chance to piss'." In this case: 'never turn down the chance to charge the battery!' And, I'm counting on Seidio to provide an extended battery to get me at least back to the 755p battery capacity.
