I keep the optical drive out of my machine since I very rarely use it. Right now it's in a pocket in my laptop bag. I'm not entirely comfortable with this because there is room for it to get bounced around which can't be good for it, and I'm worried about it getting crushed, dust working it's way onto the eye, or otherwise damaged which could leave me stranded when I do end up needing it.

I don't want to leave it out of my laptop bag because I like to be prepared, so I have been searching HPs site, ebay, amazon, and using google to try to find a case made to store an optical drive from a laptop but I'm coming up with nothing. Must be some sort of operator error on my part.

Does anyone use a case they would reccomend, or at least know of a place to get one?

Thanks in advance!
