I'm confused here.
Where did we come up with the idea that the case was really only worth $5?
It doesn't matter to me, I don't own the case, I've already stated my
feelings concerning the naked Bookport approach, but I would love to see
someone create a case like the Executive products case and value it at $5.
Honestly, everyone truly wants something for nothing and so do I, but I do
know it doesn't work that way.

The case, I own, is great. If it cost a hundred dollars, I'd pay it in a
heart beat. A lot of thought went into the expert craftsmanship.

I think it depends on the material used to make the case, as well as the
labour involved. I believe a sighted person read on the package that the BP
case was around a $5 value. That's quite an extra chunk out of your pockets
for the "profit". Like I said, I imagine Executive Products intends their
merchandise to go to businesses, thus it doesn't really matter how much stuff
costs--you can just write it off as business expenses. However, for
individuals, wow--what a chunk out of your pocket for a tiny leather case.
Anyway, just my opinion once again...and maybe it's only because I'm a poor
student, smile.

I'm just curious, Grant, what would you consider to be an ideal price for
a case designed specifically to hold the Book Port?

Now come on, Walt, that's a bit harsh. My only point was that they do
charge a rather excessive amount for the case--me being a poor student is hit
hardest by this. As they're a company designed mainly for business-related
goods, I suppose that their prices are as high as you would expect for a
company that distributes products to businesses. But guys, like I already
said, I'm not telling *anybody* not to buy the case. I personally think that
using a generic case, or making one, would be cheaper and more practical. But
the mark of a great product is one that receives both positive AND negative
ratings.

Executive Products is not a large company. They produce their cases in
lots
of perhaps five or ten, not in the dozens or hundreds. They've been the
only
vendor willing to produce cases for many of our blind technology
products.
They're great people to do business with. Sorry you can't see the
reality of
the situation and think that you should be treated as though you were
dealing with a huge multinational corporation with millions of
customers.

Well, to each his own, and I won't comment on this thread anymore. I
should
mention though that the "value" liste on the package for the case is
*way*
below the enormous price that you're paying for a small leather case.
On a happier note, merry Christmas to everyone. And I'm sorry if you
don't
like my negative view here but I think every product, whether popular
or
unpopular, desserves both positive and negative ratings. That way you
can
make an informed decision about buying it based on user comments. I
myself
was extremely impressed upon reading reviews and when I first got the
case,
but I have begun to see the negative side of it, that's for sure.
