Completely HP free post

I'm experimenting with a better way to carry the PDA. This morning,I took the case I bought at the rest stop and shortened the strap by knotting it (took a square knot to do it right) and clipped it around my waist. Or the slightly indented part of my torso I call a waist.

It's loose enough that I don't feel constricted, but it also feels secure, and it hangs where I want it to - right over my right hip. It started on my left one, but it interfered with my purse there, and the right is more convenient.

So far, it's a success. Yay!

(Note: instead of the aluminum hard case, I'm using the flap cover that came with the PDA. I figured that would be sufficient protection and I didn't want the extra weight.)

Is Seeking Out

A PDA case/bag/whatever designed for women. Something that doesn't depend upon a separate belt because, like many women, I don't wear belts.

I have something close right now - it's a tiny leather bag just big enough to hold my pda in its aluminum case and my cellphone, on a thin, removable leather strap. It cost me $6 at one of the leather goods stands at a rest stop. HOWEVER.

However, the strap is the wrong length. When I wear it across my body, it ends just above where my waist would be if I had one, which is awkward and not attractive.

The ideal bag would be about that size, with an adjustable strap - when fully extended, it would be long enough to reach my opposite hip, which would place the pda where it would be if it were clipped to a belt. It could also be adjusted to wear as a waistpack.

Anyone know where I can find adjustable straps?
