Marlaina,
I think your case design is awesome, not off the wall at all. The =
question
would be does APH have the time and resources to have something like =
this
made to their specifications, then produced in bulk. I have seen the BN
cases and I think their design is very well thought out. I own a =
PacMate
myself, and although I absolutely love my QX400, their cases are awful.
Best regards,

Rick, I agree. The cell phone pouch would totally change the case. All =
I'm
asking for here is some thought on 2 cases, one that fits the little =
dear
like a glove and is made of the stuff that skin diving suits are made
of--it's sort of stretchy but padded, and you'd have to take it out of =
the
case to use the BookPort. the other is the idea of the case made to fit =
the
BookPort so it rested snugly on one side, with a small speaker on the =
other
and 1 or 2 square hook and loop closure pockets for cf cards. This =
would
open like a book with the speaker on the left and BookPort on the right; =
the
cf pockets would be under the small speaker. There would be a short =
pigtail
going from the speaker to where the BookPort would rest. The speaker =
could
be affixed with hook and loop closures so that when it was battery =
changing
time, one could remove it quickly and easily. The BookPort's current =
belt
holder could be used to firmly affix the BookPort to the right side of =
case,
so it would not fall out while walking around with it open. The whole =
thing
closes up and has a zipper that runs 'round the perimeter. On the front
edge is a handle and on the top edge is a handle. No shoulder straps no
cell phones, just a way to have audio into the room when that's =
appropriate,
but still be able to quickly remove the BookPort when you wanted =
personal
audio. I am into cases, and pretty much redisigned the original =
BrailleNote
case to what it is now while working for the BrailleNote folks.
I think I am really ofrf the wall now with the idea, but maybe sombody =
at
APH can make it all make sense and let us know if it's even ghostly
possible.
