Well, it's officially mine

I duffed my Treo on the way into the apartment today. Didn't even have the bastard 24 hours.

Couldn't have been somewhere nice and soft, couldn't have bounced off something to soften the fall..nope right onto the concrete in front of the mail box. Scuffed a couple spots real nice on the side.

This is exactly why I wanted a holder for it to put it right into when I got it. But I haven't really found anything I know I'll be 100% happy with.

And I know it can't stay new forever. Just with the cost of this thing, I'd liked to have had it survive a month scuff free.

Otherwise, I bloody love this thing. The only problem I've found, is it doesn't want to hold my log in for LJ. Especially when i'm trying to comment or reply to someones comments. Fellow Treo owners, any idea?

I was worried about dropping my Sidekick if I was using it while walking. Here's what I did:

1. It has its own section in my new waistpack, with nothing else in it to cause scratches.

2. I got a Rivet Kingpin ($24.95 Radio Shack, $19.99 Best Buy) chain for it, so that if I fumble the phone while walking and surfing, it falls about as far as my knee. The Sidekick has a place to put a lanyard/wrist strap, and so the nylon loop attachment loops through there. The chain can be unhooked from the phone side. The chain is smooth so it won't scratch the phone if I put the loose chain into the pack. I hook the chain to a zipper tab. Rivet also makes belt clip and car attachment points.

3. Most of the time, I use a Body Glove earboom headset for talking, so I can leave the phone in the waistpack.

ear bud does nothing for me, when I was surfing then net on it when it fell :) I was holding it and going to go into the mail box and the slippy little bastard fell out of my hands (exactly why I was telling Posi earlier in the day that I wanted to get some kind of skin for it)
