The Panoptic is sweet. I carried mine in the zippered soft plastic case it came with. It won't fit in your coat pocket easily. What did I do? I actually carried a doctor's bag. As it so happened, I used the doctor's bag for various neurology paraphernalia like safety pins, tongue depressors, reflex hammer, q-tips, handbooks, and so forth. I put my stethoscope in the bag, too. It meant my pockets weren't ever heavy.
Yes, I am aware that not everyone wants to carry a case/bag.
