The combo case does make it easier to carry the VS and
SyncBraille together, and I have the 20 cell SyncBraille, so I
can't really complain too much about the size. And, although I
personally do prefer thinner rather than fatter, I do understand
why the decision was made in this situation.
I guess, though, I still often use my mPower when out and about,
rather than my VS and SyncBraille in the combo case, because I
like being able to very quickly open the case and turn the unit
on and readily have the Braille access. And, with the VS and
SyncBraille, one has to open the combo case then the VS case, and
then wait the few seconds for the Braille display to be active.
Then, as I believe Mary Ellen eluded to, there doesn't seem to be
a way to fold the flap of the combo case underneath the unit,
thus a somewhat larger case flap is potentially sticking out for
other passengers on the bus to bump as they walk by me going to
their own seats. also, I like the fact that I can both silently
turn the mPower off as well as on.
All in all, though, I'm happy with my purchase, knew at the time
I was buying two separate units and do like the portability that
the two afford, both together and separately. Now, had the BSP
been available when I made my purchase, I may have very well
chosen that option instead, but that is now something to possibly
look forward to in the future.
