Came in from work this afternoon and the post man had delivered the CKL-PCMD50 leather case I ordered from a guy
in Japan on Ebay... I ordered it about a week ago and it came to Texas without any issue....
So here's the skinny on it....
Its made of leather, the inside is like a dark brown pig skin, it attaches to the D50 with a screw at the
tripod mount. Very nice and classy design...
As a bonus that I wasn't aware of when I ordered it is that the case has built in magnets so when you open
the case it actually forms into a built in tripod... it has two settings, one low and the other setting puts the recorder
at a pretty good angle... maybe 45 degrees or more... the low setting about half of that...
of course it has a belt loop also....
And two other suprises...
included in the package is the hand strap that comes with the PCM-D1 recorder.... its a very nice hand strap that serves
two purposes, one as a hand strap and the other purpose as a cable strain relief when you have the recorder hooked up
to any external devices... if you'd like to see how it works just goto the Sony web site and download the manual for the
PCM-D1 and it shows how to use the strap for a cable strain relief... could protect the input/output connectors on the recorder
and finally the last item.... it also comes with a soft pouch... its just a velvet like material with a draw string at the top....
it'd be good for when you put the recorder into another bag with other items... and just to keep the dust off of the kit.
anyway, just some more information for your D50.....
I'm very pleased with how the unit is working.... I also placed some MP3 tunes from a couple of CD's on it.... wow it sounds
very clean....
here's a pic from the Ebay site of the carry case... doesn't show the strap or soft pouch though...
