You can set it so that there is no beep when the keys are locked. The case is very nice. Whether it is worth $60, well that is up to the individual. When I ordered mine a year ago, though, it was only $39 plus shipping. The best! -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Keens Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 5:52 PM To: Bookport@Freelists. Org Subject: [bookport] bp carrying case Hi All, When I purchased my book port I asked about a carrying case. They gave me the number to call to order one. I called today and it is a black leather case that sounds very nice but it will be almost $60 with shipping. I have noticed that when I put my book port in my purse even if I have the keys locked it keeps beeping. Does this case keep it from doing that? Is it enough protection? Has anyone used something else to put the book port in? Thanks for y our advice! Christie
