Scott, this is not a negative comment on your suggestion, but the
rubber feet I have on my BP do not interfere with the belt clip.
True, one has to find the right size and thickness for them to work
properly. =20

Hi Everyone,
Several people on the list have mentioned the need for something to
stabilize the BP when taking notes or otherwise using the BP on a flat
surface and many of these people have advocated placing rubber feet on
the back of the unit in order to accomplish this. It seams to me that
rubber feet could interfere with the use of the belt clip. I have
another idea that I would like to share. Many scientific calculators
have a cover that slides over the front of the calculator, when it is
not being used. The cover is removed, reversed, and slid over the back
of the calculator when the calculator is being used. There is usually
a groove on each side of the calculator, which acts as a pare of
tracks in which the cover slides. Perhaps such a cover could be
designed for Book Port. When the BP is not being used, the cover would
cover the front of the unit and prevent accidental key presses, even
if the BP is not locked. When the BP has to be used on a flat surface,
the cover could be rever sed, making the back of the BP flat. If the
belt clip is needed, the cover could be removed entirely. If space
permits, there could be a couple of slots inside the cover for extra
Compact Flash cards. I am sure that this solution would be more
expensive than the rubber feet because the plastic housing of the BP
would have to be redesigned in order to accommodate the cover and the
cover itself would be more expensive than the rubber feet. I would
like to here what some of you think of this solution.
Thanks,
Scott
