I cast an eye around my desk looking for a sheet of paper containing something I needed. When I saw my various gizmos lying there. If you are anything like me or even remotely know me - you know that I love technology and I love gadgets. That love extends to ensuring that they do not accumulate dust or scratches. Which means - every time I buy/receive a gadget - I spend some time (and money of-course) searching for an appropriate case. A case can't be just any case :). It's my signature addition to the gizmo which personalizes it without altering its original state :) - no etching - no scratches - nothing. Be it the beautiful rubber-finish red-black speck case of my beloved MBP (late 2008edition) or the touch thru case on my iPhone :).
Then there's obviously the clingy film thing that goes onto the device before the case so that the case doesn't scratch the device :). Then there is the mirror finish on my iPod nano case :). Rubber back ensures grip - and the mirror finish front ensures that the screen is visible only when the screen is in use and the whole surface looks like a mirror when not in use. And then - there is my favorite shock-absorber case for the old iPod (old old version:) - my first apple product ever). And then - a case for the earphones that go with all these awesome iPods/Phones.
Of course there are also smaller cases lying here and there. A couple for my flash drives and another couple for my memory cards which go into various versions of my other eye:). Various slim and higher capacity backpacks for laptops (a sleeve, a couple of backpacks and a study shock-proof laptop case - these were thankfully given to me at work) - camera cases for the camcorder, camcorder cables, wii portability case. Then of course there's the kit-bag for the camera and its lenses. Peering in there you'd find the case for the external flash unit :) and a couple for my portable hard drives :). And of course peering at me with the kit - you would of course note me carrying something like a bazooka in a black case slung over my shoulder - the tripod :).
And mind you - buying this protection for the gadgets takes the same effort searching-reviewing-deciding-affording cycle that the gadgets themselves take :). Plus the added dimension of colors :).
Clearly - a case of too many cases :).

Hmmm... I don't invest as much care as you do in the "cases". But my lappie came with his own supercool sleeve.. Just that the sleeve is for the OUTSIDE and was never gonna protect the touch screen. Like I said, it had to happen! Hmph.
well, two words came to my mind...
but don't know i should tell that or not..those words are related to jain principles so u might not understand but harsh's dad might help you...
but i should not tell those words because it is none of my business to give you advise of any sort...
still if u really want to know which two words came to my mind.. shoot an email..
