Hi, It's worth noting that brailliant BI and Focus Blue are supported with executive leather products cases for better portability and protection than any of the stock cases which ship with the units. I haven't read that there's a case for the braille edge but there ott to be. Best, Erik

Hi Jim. I would wait a little, and buy a brailliant, I have the 32 cells that is a great display, it has a bug, that I have heard would be solved in the near future. I will really recommend a display with a good bag. The focus can fell out and be harmed. There are problems with the braille

Hello. As others have said, it depends on what exactly you want the display to do and what functionality is important to you. If having something exclusively for the iPhone is all you're looking for, certainly I'd say the Focus 40 Blue may be the way to go. But if you want to be able to read books

Check out the Braille Edge from HIMS. The only advantage it has over some others is the built in notepad function. If you want to be able to jot something down without being connected to your iPhone, it is worth the extra 200 dollars over the Focus. If having the notepad feature isn't important

Hi Cait, Focus bue should be alright on a mac if you use that platform. It works on window-eyes but with very limitted functionality. If using window-eyes you would be better off with a brailliant BI or a Braille Edge. If using NVDA, it has native support for focus blue and brailliant BI,
