I'm using an M105 (and it does seem to have the battery-replacement bug,
which means that I just need to keep it hotsynched and replace the
batteries before each event) with a nice aluminum case, velcroed to the
top of a battery (and with a camera controller on the top of the case):

I had to cut a hole for the cable in the bottom of the case, and I could
make it tight enough fit to grip the cable a little bit - plus, the Palm
is kind of a press fit in the case, so it's very easy to open the lid, hit
autostart and close it without disturbing the Palm. These cases seem to
turn up on eBay pretty frequently.
