Hi Vicki,
I just took my syncbraille 20 and vs to church in the combo case and it
worked out great.
I love the weight of the two together. It's much lighter than the mPOWER 32
I had before. I wasn't able to keep the mPOWER and buy these.
It does take a few seconds for the display to come up.
After returning from church, I had to reset my vs to make it see my display.
Alls well now though.
I like the strap on the combo case because I can get it just the right
length for me. I am short, so this has been a challenge with other
notetaking devices in the past.

Subject: Re: [GWN] VS and SyncBraille combo case
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.
