Rick's the man. Last time I sent an 8921 up to him for work, he gave me *for free* an original HP hard road case for my service monitor, using it to ship it back in. Now I have a hard case to use when I travel by air and need to take a SM with me. If you have an HP 892x that needs work, he's the guy to call.
