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.
