> Battery life after 2 years is looking weak > I had to invest $$$ in a decent sleeve and case to ensure my Ti looks > as good as it does Good grief! BATTERIES ARE CONSUMABLES! 2 years is a very decent service life. You should be ashamed of yourself for whining about that, as well as needing a case to protect it. This is a precision manufactured device, not a Frisbee, of course you buy a case for it.
