    When you say external case, do you mean something to carry it in or one to hook it to your notebook?

    Both

    At the time of original post I meant a case to allow the dvd drive to function externally of the bay. But now that you mention it a carrying case would be nice
    as well. I do remember seeing a post where people talked about using ESD bags, but I'd like something with a bit more padding and a little more professional looking.

    I would like to find a usb enclosure for my dvd drive too. I mainly use 2 hard drives and it would be nice to have the dvd as a usb device.

    I'm not aware of a external case for the slim drive. If you prefer a external drive, it's probably cheaper to just buy one.
