Man, that's tough.  Seriously.  When the 41's first came out, with their huge
long cases, they were VERY conspicuous (especially when hanging on some EE's
belt :-).  Tons of them got stolen just because the case was easy to recognize.
When I got mine, I kept it in my fake-blue-denim factory-issue TI-30 case.
Nobody EVER steals a TI-30!

Maybe you could find an ugly, generic case to keep your next 48 in?  Or cut up
a pair of blue jeans and make an ugly bag for it?

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes.
Well, that's another way to get the new ROM revisions...
