Someone suggested a BVD case from Walmart. I bought one last weekend for about $33.00 and I love it. The BN fits where the BVD goes. I can take my strap off and put it in with the ac addapter in the other section. There is an outside slot, a section for disks and a large section where you can cary cables and much, much more. One section will even hold the braille manual sticking up if you really want it with you. That would be nice for a beginner like me.

Having had my BrailleNote since dinosaurs roamed the earth (actually, since October, 2000), I've always had the old case, with the velcro compartment in the front, and the compartment where the BN is stored zips up. I ordered the new BN case, and just got it tonight. Man, it's a bear getting the BN in! I had to have my hubby help me with it, but it seems to be in nice and snug now. So does this mean we can use the BN standing up with it on our shoulder? I don't want to try it and find out it won't work when I hear my BN falling to the ground with a sickening thud. <lol> Also, I'm wondering what people do with the charger for the BN. It looks like it would fit in the zipper compartment on the inside of the case, but then I'm concerned that when the case is closed, it would put too much pressure on the BN (if it would even close at all. So do you just leave the charger at home, or carry it some other way, or can it in fact be carried in the case? Or is the zipper compartment for flatter items. I like the little slot for storage cards, and all the velcro pieces that can be undone to give access to the various ports are great! I think the only changes I'd make in a future case design would be a zipper compartment on the outside for the charger, and maybe a velcro flap to cover the parallel port. But I like the fact that my BN is protected, and if it can now be used while standing, and if I can figure out where to keep the charger, I'll be a happy camper. Do I remember someone saying that they put the BN in the new case inside the old case to take it out on rainy days? Let's hear how you use your cases? For those who have gotten their units recently, this may be the only case you've ever used, so your thoughts are also welcome. Peggy P.S. I like the little rubbery Braille Pulsedata emblem on the top of the case. <smile> mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.home.earthlink.net/~kernsac MSN Messenger [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
