X5 Case for Gym

I am looking for a case where I can go to the gym while working out and listen to my music, but:
I know most cases would work, but I am looking for something different. Usually you see some people with those pouches that you go on Vacations too, the ones that goes around your waist like a small bag, kind of, dont know how to describe it. I am looking for something like that but a little smaller.

Does anyone use their X5 for the gym while you workout?
I have the Metallic Case for mine, but I do not use a belt while I workout and is kind of hard to just let it hang in your pant pocket, looks funny.

Anyone seen a PDA holder while working out that would work with the X5?

Thankx...

I think the worst thing you'd have to worry about would be a) knocking it too hard and b) sweating on it. A "fanny pack" is what you're talking about, I really can't think of anything that I've seen out there that would be better for protecting it.

If you got yourself a CF bluetooth card and those tiny bluetooth headphones you could load your music on the sd card and not even have to have it on your belt as long as you didn't get too far away from it. I'm not sure what the range is on bluetooth these days but it's at least 15-20 feet if I'm not mistaken.

You might try http://www.grindergear.com/

or you could get a sports-CD case like the ones at http://www.casedirect.com/cgi-bin/sg...dplayer-active
some of which will comfortably fit a PDA.

Or you could just do what I do, get a cheap fanny pack and add some cushioning in front of the Axim Screen. A bit of foam or a dry plastic sponge wrapped in a microfiber cloth works very nicely.
If you're sweating up a storm then a plastic sandwich bag around the Axim with a twist tie fastening it around the earphone cord works well and you can take the Axim out and press buttons without opening the bag. The fanny pack also has another pocket to hold keys and wallet. It's inexpensive, light, and I think it works better but this is not the stylish approach.

Yeah I would highly recommend the Otterbox. Sweat could be deadly to your AX. I have the 3600, which is pretty bulky, but the 2600 would be fine. You could just rinse the whole thing off in the shower before you go home too!
