Don makes a good point here. I have done this with both versions of the case for my QT since I have had it. Indeed the new case is even better to protect the front thumb keys while writing with the unit propped up on my thighs while in bed at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. the only problem is the kittens want to keyboard too from time to time. I have forbidden this as they have not and refuse to learn Braille first.
The extra padding also works well at other times and provide a non-skid surface or nearly so when needed. cthank you!

But, in general use, I don't find the case is a problem when trying to access the ir port. What I do is to open the case and fold the top back so the top of the case is actually under the bn. This also gives an extra padded resting place for the bn. When you do this, all ports and the modem connection can be easily accessed. Since the case is made of a flexible material, it really is easy to fold back and use to support the bn. Don On Fri, 30 Jan 2004 10:15:32 +1300, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Richard. I find this interesting because I have the current BrailleNote case and use the infra-red port at least three or four times a day. Nothing blocks it on my unit and there is no need to take it out of its case. So this sounds like there may be a fitting problem on your machine, or perhaps you are mis-identifying where the infra-red port is? It's on the rear of the unit on the bottom right, and feels kind of like a rectangular window. Now it is true that the case has to be open in order to use the infra-red port, but that makes sense I think.
