You may want to take a look at the portable rig photo thread for ideas if you haven't done so.

I carry my gear in a Waterfield iPod gadget bag.

ive seen quite a few people with that livestrong wrist band, but i doubt it would wrap around you nano and amp tight enough

which amp btw?

cheers

A children's size LiveStrong or similar bracelet will probably fit depending on the size of the amp.

That would depend on which Livestrong wrist band he got. I believe there are different sizes, the child/small size should work.

You can find a ton of "knockoffs" in adult and child sizes all over the place now. Some are charitable, others are for fun. Xin uses some strong plastic hair bands to keep his supermicro lid on. They're cheap and strong, maybe an option.

The best solution I've found for my regular iPods is to put them in Agent 18 cases and add a one-inch square of Velcro to the back of each. I have an opposing piece of Velcro on my SuperMini amp which allows me to quickly switch between iPods.

I use the Nano unamped and stick with reasonably sensitive headphones.

Well, I'm building a back to back double altoids tin case. 1 side for my Cmoy, 1 side for my Zen Micro. I'll velcro or glue them together, and then I'll be all set.

I use a Lowepro Camera Bag!

I use a caselogic digital camera bag.

A friend of mine has taken his H140 (with a black iskin) and black velcro strapped it to his go-vibe. The single velcro strap is one of the more deluxe locking types you see used for PC cable management.

The rig looks incredible (everything's black) and it's well held together. Part of the trick is to have something that gives a little so that the velcro can really be cinched tight and keep the two components from shifting against each other. In his case, the iskin does this.

I was thinking of trying something similar with my X5 and SR71, but I think I would need to put a square of rubber between the two to create the effect I mentioned above.

I got some cool black wristbands that say LIVEWRONG instead of LIVESTRONG.

But you might find some velcro cable ties more useful. I picked some up from an electronics store. They are adjustable and any excess can be stuck down neatly or trimmed off.

high quality adhesive velcro works really well. and bumpersticker remover will take it off cleanly if you want to take it off and sell it later.

I use a thick rubberband that I take off of my brocolli crowns from the grocery store

Even though I've spent about a grand on my portible rig, i'm still cheap

 

[jeri534]

the amp is a portaphile v2^2

I just used velcro. its way more convenient than rubber bands and bags. It was also cheap $8
 
video reference on how I did it. skip to 6:00 if you don't want to hear me talking about the rest of the channel and etc.
