Put your computer on last, not first.
I put mine on before my bcd as well. Usually on the boat ride, just after donning my exposure protection. It's much harder to forget that way.
 
I leave it on the dry suit sleeve. Not going to forget that.
Is it attached directly to the sleeve somehow?

I dive wet as much as dry. No donning or doffing that suit with the computer already on the sleeve. And I like to keep my process the same between wet and dry as much as possible.

I put my rig on at the last minute before getting in the water. I like do do as much "prep" as I can before the last minute. So, I put my computers on as soon as I put my suit on. And take them off at some point after I've gotten my BP/W off and secured (thus, sometimes needing to reach between tanks on a boat bench while still wearing computers - if the boat is rockin', getting tanks secured is a much higher priority than taking my computers off and stowing them somewhere safe).
 
if you hold both of them together you will see a clear build quality difference and the size of the DSS one is much larger which makes clipping and unclipping much easier, especially in gloves.
 
For those having a problem reaching the Perdix buttons, I found flipping the screen so the buttons are on top made it a lot easier for me.

Everything Tobin does is quality. I will be picking me up one or two of those. One for sidemount and one for my singles rig.
