Owners of an Asus Eee 900 will be glad to hear that Proporta have several accessories for their new machine. Even though the Eee 900 has only just started selling, you can already order a leather case and screen protector.

The leather case features a magnetic clasp and cutouts that offer full access to all the ports. It costs $44.95 and is available here.

imageThe screen protector is removable (and washable!) and reduces glare. It also improves the "stylus feel" if you were brave enough to upgrade your Eee with a touch screen. It costs $9.95 and is available here.

The Proporta Advanced Screen Protector even comes with a money back guarantee and a lifetime warranty.

I’ll admit that I’m terrible to my GPS unit. I’ll throw it in the back seat, or shove it between the other stuff in my rolling briefcase.

If you are like me, it may be time to treat your GPS unit to a nice case. Pick the right size (size chart is here), then when you place your order, simply enter coupon code LOVEMYGPS for a sweet 50% discount (making them just $10.48 each!).

When you are on the road, power can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Even the best gadget in the world becomes useless when it runs out of juice.

There is nothing more annoying than trying to make a phone call and not being able to turn your phone on because you forgot to turn it off and the battery died on you in the middle of a trip.

I have used some battery backup solutions in the past, including the APC USB battery pack I mentioned several months ago in my "Power it anywhere" kit, but the product I’ll show you today is the best I’ve ever come across.

One of the comments in my "Proporta Gadget Bag" article asked how much all that stuff weighs…

Remember; that includes the gadget bag, 3 phones, a VOIP adapter, 2 headsets, sim cards, an iPod, all the chargers I could ever need, battery backup power, a camera, flashlight, a laser pointer, 2 mice, memory cards, a WiFi adapter and loads of cords.

Back when every one of my gadgets required its own charger I was probably carrying close to twice that much. Under 2 kilos for everything I need on a trip (not including whichever laptop I use that week) is really not that bad.

On an average trip, I carry along an obscene amount of stuff. Here are the contents of my current gadget bag:
