I feel the present lock is adequate. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kaari Parrish" <kparrish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 3:23 AM Subject: [bookport] Re: An on/off switch : Yes, an on/off switch would be wonderful, so we wouldn't have to worry about : bumping, but I have another idea, too. Or maybe it's a request. After : spending $400 on a BP, it really feels wrong to have to put it in a backpack : unprotected. How about making a case available? Preferably one that's firm : enough to prevent keys from getting bumped. : While we're at it, how about taking the belt clip off the BP itself and : putting it on the case? That would solve all the problems with the unit not : lying flat for notetaking. Then we couldn't reach all the keys quickly while : walking around. Okay, how about a removable front? I know, it'd probably : cost extra, but personally, I'd be happy to pay it. : Kaari : : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "Neal Ewers" <ewers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> : To: "Bookport" <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> : Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 9:10 AM : Subject: [bookport] An on/off switch : : : > I like it.
