Actually, I just found a quite nice replacement case for my 48sx.
(the stock zipper case isn't big enough to hold my sx and the 
reference book and my chequebook, etc. all at once :).  If there 
is one in your area, check out Eddie Bauer (an outdoors outfitters
store).  They sell two camera cases called COMPACT CAMERA CASE I
and (you guessed it :) COMPACT CAMERA CASE II.  They are about .25"
too short for the sx when you buy it, but if you strech the closing
flap a bit over the sx the first time you put it in, and leave it for
a while, the flap stretches enough to close properly.  Both have pockets
on the front big enough to store all your application cards, your car
keys, your wallet, etc.  Only $25 here for CASE I.  CASE II is about 
an inch wider than the sx, room enough for liquid paper, erasers, etc.
to fit beside your precious calc.

Hope this helps someone... ;)
