HW sells an accessory pouch that attaches to the back of the
closed bn case (that is why the whole thing is lined with velcro
along the back and sides). It is intended for use with gps, but
it also works for storing cards, earbuds, cables, and so on. The
main problems with it are:
1. It extends the bn's overall length by about four inches,
which can be annoying and hard to get used to while walking
around with the bn slung on your body.
2. It has holes in it so you can access the serial, usb, and AC
adapter ports, but you still have to put whatever cable or device
you are plugging in inside the pouch to plug it in; this can get
very frustrating, especially when dealing with a thick cable
(such as the serial cable) or a thumb drive that you leave in
there; I always have a fear of the drive being damaged by other
objects in the pouch hitting it, and from there a fear for my usb
port itself.
3. You can lose small objects, like an sd card without a case,
because there is no secure attachment on the bottom; it relies on
a tight connection with the velcro on top and on the sides to
make the bottom snug, but there is still the issue of that bottom
part of the pouch possibly pulling away from the bn case.
4. You do not have access to the mini usb, sd, or cf slots, so
if you have a cf or sd card in the bn it is going to stay there.
If you need to put one in or take one out, you have to un-velcro
one side of the pouch (the pouch has two velcro-lined arms that
attach to the velcro along the bn case's sides) as well as the
velcro along the pouch itself to get to the slots; this is quite
difficult with no solid surface on which to put the bn. This
issue also means that you cannot use the new Ambicom G cards
because they do not fit in the side slot with an adapter, so you
have to have no pouch on to use wifi.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] bn carrying case with pouch and useable?
Does anyone know of some kind of bag/carrying case for the bn
that has a larger accessory pouch and still allows access to the
bn while it is in the case? I bought a carrying case 4 or 5 years
back, the only problem with it being that the bn slid in
vertically, so you could not access the bn while it was in the
case.
