I agree with you Teri about the strap. Yesterday, when I was using the BT standing for the first time, the strap slipped on me. When you first get it, the strap is doubled over. I did not bother to shorten it. While I was using it yesterday the strap slipped and thats how I discovered that a rubberband was holding it. Good thing I did not drop it!

But it's very difficult to take the BN out of it and put it back in. The case doesn't cover the BN completely, so when it's pouring down rain and you want to take it with you, you must put it in something else to protect it from the rain. The straps of the case are so big I can't adjust them to be small enough. I have at least three different cases which PDI has put out for the BN and VN. None of them are completely satisfactory, but I prefer the old-fashioned bag type case. I prefer to use the BN out of the case and the bag is the easiest thing to use for traveling. I also like the extra storage space. There are times I would like to be able to use the BN while standing, but manhandling it into the case it came in is quite inconvenient and the straps would cause it to come down passed my waist which would be an inconvenient position for writing. Also, the flaps keep closing, making it annoying to use inside the case. The case my old BN came with only has a hook to hold the BN, and I wouldn't want to put my trust in it. I don't have a solution for case that would suit everyone's needs, but this new case, the wrap-around one, is a definite disappointment to me because it's a bear to use!
