my hipster case and mods

Tiffany — Mon, 7 Apr 2008 05:22:10 -0400

I use 4x6 cards cut in half to make a more convenient size for my smaller hands and pockets. I used the graphics package of the DIY templates and pasted the images into Publisher. I sized the graphics images to 3x4 and printed them onto colored cardstock to color-code my stuff. The case is made from an old Goldfish crackers box. I cut it to 4.25 inches by double the width of my cards (6 inches), plus the height of my stack (1/2 inch). It folds to make a simple cover. The coolest part of my cover is the "password protection" which enables my pen to function as the mechanism by which the whole thing is held together. I sized a tube made of the same crackers box to fit my favorite pen (girth) and the length of my hPDA (4.25 inches), and then cut it in half. I used strong book tape to tape one half to the front cover, and one half to the back cover, and then when I put my pen through both half-tubes, it holds my whole stack shut. It is the best! I have been thinking of other boxes to use in order to pirate their cool graphics!

Cover with book ring

Made a cover from a thin flexible report cover. It looks a little like a Moleskine notebook at a glance. Single hole at top left through front and back of the cover, one book ring to hold the cards inside. About 40 cards inside.

PDA Holder

Arthur, at Reniassance Art, made my PDA holder and I could not be happier. It is made for left-handers and the right side compartment holds my week at a glance on a 3x5 card. I have the holder that is closed by a stud in the front. I absolutely love the thing! It fits in my purse and people drool when I take it out to make notes or consult my "Next Actions" list. Very classy!

Palm Pilot or case for one? If you really mean Palm Pilot I gotta see photos !

Cover

I laminated some of the interior cards for dividers and were using those for covers. At that time I got a belt case for a digital camera to carry the rig. Since then I got a couple scrap pieces of Lexan from work and the binder clip goes on that. It's a bit pokey in the pocket, but I like it. I also made a DIY Circa model with thick cardboard and Foam sheet covering that. I like the way it looks, hate the way the foam sheets fall off. The rings get caught in my pocket too.

In summation I carry my hipster in my front pocket with 1/16" Lexan covers.

OMG!

Some of the outfits are quite elegant.

International Pocket Briefcase

thag — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 09:50:11 -0400

For $16, this is an awesome alternative to the Leveneger International Pocket Briefcase if you don't want to drop the $58 to $68 bucks for a Levenger version.

4x6

Since reading your comments a week ago, I have been looking for something similar. This evening I had to go to Barnes and Noble (hooray!) for a gift, and voila! I found a lovely black, thin, 4x6 photo album that will work nicely. It was 19.95, a bit more than I had anticipated. However, I am thrilled with it. Now, to get busy on needed templates. Thanks for a great idea!!

Hipster PDA Case Recommendations?

dougj — Wed, 7 Sep 2005 11:35:05 -0400

I'm interested in hearing some advice about what cases people can recommend for toting around their Hipster PDA cards. In the 43 Folders Google Group, I've seen messages go flying past recommending certain Levenger and homebrew cases, but I thought it might be nice to have a little thread here for posterity. Bonus points for including URLs so we can see what you're referring to, or for uploading a pic of your kit to the Kit Image Gallery.

all my best,

dj
