Hi Stacey,
Glad you finally got to take the combo to church as I know you were
upset a while back when your syncbraille got sick.
I still haven't figured out how to shorten that strap, so will let my
wife do it as she seems to figure out things like that better than I do.
It's a good sturdy strap too.
Don

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.

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.
