Hi Tessa; Do you still have the e-mail about the changes you made to your case? If so, Please send it to me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I usually keep the strap off. I find it in the way. I cary it in my book bag or in the dvd case i bought especually for the braille note. I was thinking of putting a piece of velcro on the case so I can fold the case under the machine when it is in use. The only thing, it would damage the outside of the case. Do you have any better ideas. If you want you can send the e-mail to the group. It might help others.

Anyone find that the velcrove strip on the case for the VN, don't know if the BN cases are made similar, but anyone find it picks up way to much junk, pet hair, lint all that fun stuff? For my part I would rather not use ear phones unless I have to so tend to wear the vn with the top flap folded back behind it so it's not in the way, major problem with this is that it tends to grab anything on the sweater I'm wearing. First to prevent this I've taken to covering the velcrove strip with tape, a strip of hockey or skin tape works well and helps when removed to take off some of the collected fluff. Second to clean that strip the best tool I found is the curry comb for my dog, gentle brushing over the strip both left to right and bottom to top lifts a lot of stuff. Third, just a suggestion for my part I would prefer the case to have two or three velcrove tipped straps to secure rather than this wide strip of velcrove that grabs at everything. Perhaps small pads could be placed on the underside of the case lid to secure the straps when the case is open, as well as pads on the vn portion itself to close it. I like this idea better as well because it makes closing the vn more secure if you are carrying anything in the zipper pouch, if you have several things in their the velcrove doesn't hold well and doesn't stay closed all the time. a strap would allow for a little adjustment when the pouch is being used. BTW I added the waste strap I had mentioned in a previous post and love it. I had a friend who reupolsters furnature do the stitching, they have the sewing machines for this kind of work. we put a two inch wide sleeve across the case then ran a 1 inch strip through that and it works like a dream. The only thing I might change would be to use a wider sleeve and strip only because the 1 inch feels quite thin though it works great. Anyway don't know if anyone else finds these to be minor issues but I thought I'd write and show what I've done and see if anyone has other and better suggestions.
