Hipster PDA Pen Holder Hack
August 10 by Leon Ho | Uncategorized
Paul at Flickr has posted a very cool hack on adding a Plastic back cover with pen holder for Hipster PDA. First he found himself a notebook with plastic covers and a pen holder. With notebook open, draw a 3×5 outline and ready to cut it out. Finally you should able to clip your index cards to the cover. Very neat way on making a cover for your PDA, Paul! In additional, he mentioned to me that:
… I just made it this weekend, so it hasn’t undergone any field testing yet. I think it might make the unit a bit too wide to carry comfortably in a pants pocket, but it would be really nice if you carry the PDA in a bag…
Are there any good suggestions?

I came up with a similar hack using a manila folder. I cut it up 3×5, however I created a built-in tab sticking off one of the 5 inch sides, jutting out about 1 inch wide and two inches long. I then placed a dab of super glue on the tab and wrapped the tab around a pen. Works like a charm.
I always carry in my pockets one of dose cheap short (10 cm) pens like BEIFA KB1701-1. There are others. Tis way I can always grab any piece of paper and wrtite down any notes I need . In fact, I carry a small 8×12 notepad in my pockets.
btw why lifehack subscribers can´t put a profile url here, is there such a thing?
At Office Depot (Canada), I found a Zebra mechanical pencil and ball point pen set that came fit into a small plastic sleeve.
They are tiny — no more than 3.5″ long, and the sleeve can be clipped to the back of my 3×5″ Hipster PDA with the same binder clip that holds everything together, without substantially adding to the bulk. Works great for throwing the H-PDA in my purse; maybe less so for tucking it into a pocket.
