Hi. Personally, I would love to see a case similar to the small version of the TDK I'm a Speaker that some of us have, but specifically designed for the BookPort. It could have a flat panel speaker on the front flap, or on the back for that matter. This type of case would provide protection for the BookPort and at the same time provide a useable speaker for listening without headphones. If designed properly, the speaker could also provide output for using the note taker function. Perhaps an auto shutoff feature would be good in case someone forgets to turn the speaker off. Room for a couple of cf cards would be nice. Personally, I would be more apt to use a belt clip, or a hand strap. --Best regards, --Rick Alfaro --rick.alfaro@xxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott Learned Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 4:32 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] bookport case design suggestions? Hello, I am wondering what people would like to see in the design of a Book Port case. 1: would you want room for storage cards, if so, how many cards do you need to have with you at all times. 2: Would you like to have a pocket for earbuds or head phones? 3: Would you want the front left open or covered with a flap? If so, in which direction would you want it to fold back? 4: Would you just want to have a form-fitting case without pockets for accessories that protects the Book Port from damage,? 5: What means of carrying the Book Port would you most likely use. A shoulder strap, belt clip, or a hand strap? Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions,all input is very much appreciated.

The edge surround and the underside pad could be in one moulding and removable to open the bbattery compartment. The problem would be to leave the belt clip available.
