Hi Adrien, I haven't come across a better case made for the dm5. There may be cases made for other things of a similar size, be they recorders or mobiles or the like that will fit, but I couldn't suggest anything. You'd just have to search. Given the popularity of all sorts of hand held devices there may well be something that will fill the bill. I don't know of any accessories, even a popshield. I use the Zoom popshield on mine. As it's my first Olympus recorder I haven't a clue about what battery other Olympus models take. Sorry for not having the answers.

Hi JohnI have only received my olympus voice recorder today and I have a number ofquestions, I haven't obviously worked it all out as yet but can you answer some questions for me? Firstly the case they supply is not very good, is there a better case that I can use? The battery, are the batteries for all the dm products inter changerable? What other accessories are available? Ok I will suss out the daisy thing other the weeks and get back to you.

Haveyou encountered problems reading Daisy books, specifically inability to create bookmarks, and the player not resuming a daisy book at the last point reached? I've been in touch with Olympus re these problems, and, according to them a bookmark can be created using the player's f1 key. They also claim that playback of a daisy book will resume at the last bookmark, which, since it isn't possible to put a bookmark in is likewise not possible. I have also taken it up with the RNIB's high tech team. They concur that in its present state the daisy facility is not fit for purpose. They have been evaluating a firmware upgrade, but apparently it hasn't addressed the problems. In case any dm5 owners here encounter the problems I have, or any other problems with the player here is the email address for Olympus Europe. di.support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx John. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
