My plan for my A04 is to do some coding while out backpacking, can anyone recommend a case for the devterm suitable for this purpose?

I’ve been using an old shooting range bag (intended for a compact pistol) to lug my EeePC around for years - and it served me well so far. [Looks like this.](https://media.mwstatic.com/product-images/src/primary/606/606539.jpg)  
Brings better protection against shocks than laptop sleeves. I sometimes add a [thin waterproof bag around the computer](https://static.digitecgalaxus.ch/Files/1/3/0/7/6/0/6/2/37P358.jpg?impolicy=ProductTileImage&resizeWidth=338&resizeHeight=260&cropWidth=338&cropHeight=260&quality=high) to protect the computer when I’m cycling to/from work.

In fact, what is perfect for a laptop is less than ideal for the DevTerm because the display is much more exposed. I’m researching a plastic lunchbox which could be a good fit.

Let us know what you find. I was thinking maybe a Pelican style case would be good, but I don’t want it to be too bulky.

I don’t have one yet to see if it fits but I was thinking something like this might work: [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TB5VGT4/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o07\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TB5VGT4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I want to to pack down rather small and have enough padding to prevent breakage while packed away on the trail.
