The case is handy to have, anyway.

hello,
If you have the case, you can use the case as a pretty stable
platform, once you put the unit in the case that is.

Subject: [bookport] Book poart, imbalance.
A while ago their was quite a lively discussion on this list
of the book ports imbalance when laid on it's back. Main points
being, when it is in that position using the six buttons at the
bottom of the telephone stile key pad causes it to tip because of
the belt clip affixed to the back of the unit. I have given this
design flaw a good bit of thought from time to time and considered
some complicated fixes and a couple of simple solutions. Well, you
could just fold a paper napkin to the correct thickness and place
it under the and of the book port and actually that works pretty
well. I have a small shop so, I considered building a wooden cradle
for the appliance but, gave that idea up, to much trouble. I
removed the screws holding the case together and found my nerve
flagging when it came to removing the works of the book port to get
to the belt clip. Of course any work around must be accomplished
with out compromising the integrity of the cover to the battery
compartment. For what it is worth here are today's final
solutions to this vexing little problem.
You may or may not no you can buy Velcro strips in several
different lengths and sizes at many retail stores. Of course
Wall-Mart, I would think all dollar stores, and most pharmacies
would have it. What I have seen has the mail and female locked
together and has a peal off backing on both. I cut a peace slightly
smaller then the battery cover, pealed off the film covering the
sticky stuff on the back of the mail and affixed it to the door.
Then I found a peace of cardboard the correct thickness, and
attached the female Velcro to said cardboard. I even went one step
further and put a peace of Velcro on the arm of my recliner so when
I recline or leave the chair rapidly the book port remains in place.
I am not touting this as the only or even the best solution to
the problem, just one of many and also, one that works very well.
