I thought I actually had some contact information for you to get this case but apparently got rid of it. I have had this case for 2 years now and at that time it was about $60 so I have no idea what they are in the British Aisles. But there is a zipper pocket on the front which unzips to a pocket and on the rear walls of that pocket are 2 individual leather pockets which hold your flash cards. The main pocket is long enough to slip a network card into plus another flash card. When the flap is folded back it makes a nice compact package and you can take your strap and just hook it on to the loops on each side and off you go. The case also has a little tiny slot so the flash cards can stick out when connected to the pk. It is extremely well made and has gone with me on countless cross country trips. The case is called the professional and is worth its weight in gold, believe me. And it is water resistant. I got caught in a downpour a few days ago and was grateful to be able to put the flap on top of the Braille Note and absolutely no harm was done to the machine.

Hope this helps.

Well the bottom of the case is padded with a foam rubber type of insulation but the top is not padded and it takes a little while for the leather to stretch when you first get the pk into the case but once the leather warms up, there is no problem with it. If you have ever seen the leather Braille Note or Voice Note cases, that is what the case is made out of.
Hope this helps.

Mary Ellen,

This interests me, even though I'm in the UK, because I do so miss a pocket to store my cards. Presumably though, the folding of the case underneath does make it a little more bulky. Is it a padded, soft leather?

Thanks for any additional info you can give me.

Handyworks makes cases for pda and the pk case has a zipper pocket on the front of it so you can store your flash cards in it. The case which Hw supplies has no pockets in it but this is an extremely nice case from Handyworks and the top of it folds underneath and is held fast by Velcro.

Mary Ellen, what is a handyworks case for the PK? What features does it have?

Well just last Saturday I was walking in the rain with my Braille Note Pk so gently affixed the lid of the handyworks case to the Braille display and it kept it just fine.
