I ran across it several years ago at Comdex. The company was located in Colorado (I think). The cases come in several sizes; I got the smallest which fits my 755C snuggly. It has a hard outer shell which is some kind of plastic polymer which is virtually indestructible in use. The inside has foam cube inserts which can be easily cut out to conform to the size of the equipment being stored. It's about the size of a small typewriter case. Since my computer takes up most of the room inside the case, I also got another DoubleCase product called a "saddle-bag" which fits over the computer case quite a bit like saddle bags on a horse. I can carry my AC adapter, battery, surge suppressor, telephone cord, etc in the saddle-bag with room for several other incidentals. I've always felt my computer safe in this case, and I've never have had any damage. But I must admit I've never had any really bad accident (drop-kicked down a flight of stairs or worse); mostly just being slung around a car, or falls from a coffee table. I've been very pleased. The cases were a little pricey, but I got a good deal at Comdex (both for about $100-150 total - I've forgotten). Brooks
