[gps-talkusers] Re: carrying the Braille Note

I understand that, but if you are usign the new gps carrying case, you have
the accessory pouch on the back, velcrowed to it, doesn't it look akward
having the flapp hang open.  Also, that does expose, the keys, and pins of
the braille display to more external dust, than what happens inside.
just a thought.

flap under the BN and velcro it on the bottom. It's called the Slim Line
carrying case and when it's closed, the front of it comes down over the
thumb keys and velcros just under the front edge of the BN. This way, when
you fold it under so you can walk around and use the GPS system, there is
only about an inch and a half hanging down below after presing flat. It's a
nice case to use. I believe the dealer who ordered my BN for me said that
the case is about $60, or so (maybe higher, but well worth the expense.)
Hope this helps.
