Dear Jerry, The best thing to do is keep the BrailleNote in its case and place the case in another bag when eating or drinking is going on around you.
People at workstations should not be allowed to eat or drink while working. Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.

I am going to experiment with a piece of vinyl cut to the : width of the Braille display and cut to the height of the Braille display : plut the cursor routing buttons. This vinyl strip will be affixed to my : Braillenote directly behind the cursor routing buttons. I'll try something : else if that doesn't work.
