Tom, how do the leather straps attach to the BN? Or did you mean they
attach to the BN case? Did you get the auxiliary case from Humanware? Was
it the $30 one that someone mentioned?

Hi Peggy,
I got an auxiliary pouch that's designed for use with the new BN case. It's
rectangular, has a leather strap at each end which attaches to the side of
the BN. It velcros to the back of the case and has holes which accomodate
the AC adapter as well as the serial connector. I keep my charger and the
GPS receiver inside this pouch and rarely detach the pouch unless I need to
get to the back card slot. Oh yeah, the pouch also has zippers which start
at each end and meet in the center of the pouch, which is cool if you want
to open just enough of one side to withdraw the GPS receiver and keep
everything else stashed away.
