I've never mastered using a phone in its cover yet and so don't bother with them, just lock my keypad and away i go.

Yes, whether it will do the job, but also whether it's really what you're looking for! For example, the texture of the cover would be important to me, not only size and how accessible the phone was when in the cover.-- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Page" <gpage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 3:11 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: shopping - items packaged so not feelableHi Hannah. Braille can be of help and I wish you could get it on tins, packets etc. Organisations such as the co-op provide Braille on some products. Maybe wider use of Braille would encourage rehab officers and the like to get clients to learn Braille even if it is just grade 1.Frankly, I don't think however Braille on the packaging is the issue here.It is not the identity of the product that is the issue. the issue is whether or not the product will do the job.

I'm currently lookingaround for my case for the Nokia 6630 but, as this phone has beendiscontinued, many of the suitable covers are now no longer available. Inan attempt to find something appropriate, I have realised that, in a lot of cases, these (like so many other goods) are well packaged and not readily feelable. Yes, I could take something home and try it, and be sure to get a receipt with an assurance that I could return the product, but I don't really want to do this. When a shop worker does not wish to take items from their packages, Isthis really anything I should expect (as a "reasonable adjustment" (underthe DDA) as a blind person? I know headphones cannot be tried in shops, but I like at least to feel them, nevertheless! Has anyone felt strongly enough to insist the packaging is removed for inspection?
