Just wondered what people are using with their DistoX (or X2) and what other people think.
I currently use the Eldon's HP iPaq (2495?) in an Otter Box 1900, which makes it end up looking like this:
It makes it quite a large product, certainly not something you'd put in an internal oversuit pocket. The screen films needs replacing every few years, and to replace the case can be expensive (?60-100). It is however very robust, managing to remain in Eldon use for +4 years, and has not yet leaked any water on any trip...
Only other thread i can see is from 2009 (http://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=8645.0), so hopefully there should be better options available now, especially fully waterproof devices.
