Hi John Ok no problem, I found a case on amazon that is universal, hopefully that will fit as it is for multiple devices, phones, satnavs, etc. I have been reading through the manual, trying to suss out my olympus, there are lots of different accessories mentioned, the battery, a cable to link the dm5 to another divice, but I would think apart from the battery, generic cables and mikes would be ok. I would think the olympus mikes if amazon prices are anything to go by, would be very expensive. Thanks for the help. Just one question, I have ripped the user manual cd's to mp3, I put them on my memory card but can't see them in the dm5, not quite sure why, any suggestions? Ok catch you later.

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.
