Topic: Sony PCM-M10 (Part 3)

I just got the "free" case from Sony for my PCM-M10 in the mail    Sweetness

^^ Is there any way to buy this case?  Is there an order # or something?


Thanks,

I also received it a couple of days ago and it is really great.

Here is a link for the case on B&H:

I just wanted to say that if it wasn't for free, I would never have paid $30 for it.

It is nice but too small and you can't really fit anything inside it other than the recorder.

Its not small.. Its compact... Its not like you need to bring tapes or batteries... It does have room for a shitload of micro-sds  It has a nice "molded" feel and  would really help from a reasonable drop.

I totally forgot about that free case,.. in any event, I have a couple of those cloth pouches that came with the last two hi mini disc recorders I bought and I kinda like using that. I have a butt pack that I've used for years for carrying my stealth gear (and my flask!). I have a couple of strips of the hook side of velcro inside the main compartment and that cloth pouch attaches to the hook securely. With the opening of the cloth pouch right at the top and attached to front and back of the compartment I can slip the M10 in and out and it's always in an upright position (I also don't have to worry about it getting scratched by the zipper).

Regarding micro SDHC cards, I bought a couple of Class 4 "TopRam" 16G cards on Amazon for around $32 each. I've run them through their paces and they seem to work great. One came with a USB card reader and I can transfer the files to my Mac pretty fast (using the M10 is much slower). I imagine that the class 6 cards should be even faster but when I transfered 8G it only took under 5 minutes so that's fast enough for me.
BTW, the card reader is a super cheap one and it's a pain to get the cards out without a pair of tweezers. Any recommendations for a nice one?

Don't get me wrong, I think it is a nice case but I was hoping it would be large enough so I'll at least be able to fit my CA-14 mics inside.

I can see that...

Interesting.  I was actually a little bummed about it because it seems too big to me.  But then I acknowledged that it was created for someone to carry the M10 around in by itself, so it's probably appropriate for that purpose.  For my (and I assumed a lot of tapers') purpose, it seems a little bulky and takes up more room in my gear bag than I had hoped.  Something just big enough to hold the M10 and keep it from getting scratched in the bag would be perfect.

I got these from Woot recently and the case that came with it fits my PMC-10 perfectly. Not bad headphones either.   Able Planet True Fidelity Sound Isolation Earphones with Linx Audio - SI300W or SI300B

I'm still using the old Servired leather case from my old MZ-R50 beast because I need the belt loop and it's even more compact than what the LPCM-10 case appears to be. It's the best thing I have at the moment for stealthing. I don't say perfect because the top leather flap only just reaches over to the velcro on the other half of the case to close it and I always have it open when I'm plugged in anyway so I can monitor the -12dB LEDs from time to time.

I use this one: http://www.thenerds.net/AVENUES_SWISS_ARMY_GEAR.SwissGear_WA_7871_02F00_Camera_Case_Neoprene_Black.WA787102F00.html?affid=27

Got it at Best Buy.

I actually have numerous cases I use with my PCM -10 depending on the situation. Most of I got at local Dollar Tree. I have one that fits the recorder and Ca-14s in a seperate part. It worked great getting into Rush last week . I showed the back of the recorder and said "cell phone" and in another pouch on my belt I had my Church 9100 and showed the back bottom and said camera. Now if I hadnt screwed up the recording it would have been perfect

Yes, that's balls!

Heheh. At least it's believable with a PCM-M10. Imagine my surprise with my PCM-D50 when security did the magic wand scan and didn't even question the massive brick I was holding in my left hand along with my mics wrapped around it! I was going to use the excuse that it was a massive old walkman I had from work but seriously, nobody even bat an eyelid and that's happened three times now.

I feel much safer with the PCM-M10 now and can definitely just call it my MP3 player for the train ride home.
