I was at Best Buy looking for a spindle of CDs for a little project I'm working on this weekend and I walked over to the camera section to check things out. Their D300 was broken, which disappointed me, but I did stumble onto this:

Lowepro Omni Sport with Matching Pelican Case (http://products.lowepro.com/product/Omni-Sport-Sport-Extreme,1983,9.htm) for $49.49 on clearance. The Lowepro site lists it with an MSRP of $165, but Best Buy's website lists it at $200. Be aware that it fits my D50 perfectly, but my D200 barely fits. I picked up both of the remaining ones from the BB on 19 and Drew in Clearwater.

For those that aren't familiar with Pelican cases, they're pretty badass. They're waterproof (1 meter, 30 minutes), crush-proof and dust proof. They're pretty well indestructable. You can check this specific one out here (http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1400).

Good luck finding one, you can't have either of mine. :lol:

I don't know if it's just the one in Clearwater that had them or not, but I bought the two they had on the shelf. I didn't think to ask if they had any more.

LMK if you find one at your Best Buy. I'm starting to wonder if the Clearwater store wanted them off the shelf, because the website still lists them at $199-20(sale).
