There is also a strip of velcro on the other side of the CF card that you can
fasten the flap to and this allows you to get your fingers in under it to work
the keys. I'd like to have seen some kind of screen-like material over the
keys through which they could be operated but this is a minor complaint and I'm
quite pleased with the case. Lou

Think about it, if you have your BP in your pocket, the keys are not TOTALLY
exposed but it's no problem to access them. On the other hand if you put your
BP into your pocket, and cover that with your shirt and raincoat, good luck
using the keys now. When the case flap is closed it is very difficult to use
the keys since the flap is so thick. On the other hand open the flap, and the
keys are 100% exposed with no added protection.

What are you talking about?
For one thing, we want to see both kinds of reviews. But saying that the
keys or "exposed" is wrong, as many people have stated. And how does this
defeat the hole purpose-- first, you say that the keys are exposed. Then, you
say, since there is a flap to protect them, that it defeats the hole purpose.
You can't expect the keys to be exposed while stil being protected, they have
to be covered by something- and, if your totally blind, this would make it
harder to navigate the unit.

My appologies that a simple opinion on the case provokes many irate
products. If you're looking for a new product, would you want to see only
positive reviews on the product? Also, if you close the flap, you no longer
can access the keys, which defeats the whole purpose.

In defense of the case, you can close the cover flap, thus removing the
danger factor.

Jumping in late here, guys, but I highly do not recommend the case. I
ended up paying $70 Canadian which is a ripoff for a small leather case. The
book port's keys are completely exposed, so if you're eating or doing dishes,
you will get the book port dirty by playing with the keys. The case also
doesn't have any storage for ear buds so while you can carry around the book
port fine, what about your earphones? Just my personal opinion...I was very
very disappointed.

Hi Bruce and list:
When I called the company, I enquired as to shipping options. When I
told
her where I was, she said there was only one option available.
Cheers,
Dave
