Tomyou reminded me to also suggest a rubber moulding on the underside of the unit to stop it rocking when operating it with it lying flat on a desk surface. The edge surround and the underside pad could be in one moulding and removable to open the bbattery compartment. The problem would be to leave the belt clip available.
