Hi
I know Executive products makes several cases for the BrailleConnect series and
others, and I believe the APH Refreshabraille 18 comes with it's own case. The
Alva BC640 also comes with a very nice hard-shell case that will protect it
from just about anything while you're wearing it. Some googling should turn up
others.
