The front piece is actually a wrist rest. The keyboard is slanted even if the wrist rest is folded under, but you're right, it slants a bit more when the wrist rest is folded out. I am extremely criticalabout keyboards, and i really love the keyboard on the dock. The casing is tapered, so it slants a bit, and there is some contrast between the rows of keys, not quite as flat as a laptop, and the way the keys press--well, i just can't describe it, but you'll not be disappointed.
It does come with a carrying case, yes. The wrist rest does not serve as a handle, but the carrying case has both a grip handle, and a carry strap. Another thing i love about the carrying case is that it has a velcro pocket on the outside of the case rather than inside, and the pocket has some depth to it. So, you can carry around the charger, maybe some day a Braille display, etc, without pressing against the keys or making the case too bulky to close.

Hi, guys. Unless they have changed this, one of the things I liked about thedocking station I saw last summer at the ACB convention was the pull downfront piece that causes the docking station to slant upward like a keyboard. The piece folds into the front of the unit if you don't want to use it, butyou can pull it down to raise the front of the unit up.

I really wish that I went to CSUN! On Sun, 16 Mar 2008 17:28:53 -0500, Michael D. Barber wrote:Hello everyone: I stopped at the Levelstar booth at CSUN and got to touch the docking station. It is going to be awesome. They said it would be shopped May 15. I really believe this truly will help to make the Icon the note taker/organizer of choice when people see it. I typed on the qwerty keyboard and it felt very nice. It will fit very comfortably on my lap when i type. I'm thrilled about all the added advantages we will see, such as the extended battery life, continual charging, ethernet port, function keys which get us to various applications, etc. Michael Barber Icon Discuss Mailing List icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx //www.freelists.org/list/icon-discuss To unsubscribe from the list send a blank message with unsubscribe in the subject line to: icon-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To post to this list, send your message to: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx For answers to the most frequently asked questions about Icon and Braille +, Visit the LevelStar and APH FAQ pages: Visit the LevelStar FAQ page at http://www.levelstar.com/support-faqs.php Visit the APH FAQ page at http://sun1.aph.org/webcast/brailleplus2/faq.html__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signaturedatabase 2953 (20080317) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signaturedatabase 2953 (20080317) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com Icon Discuss Mailing List icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx //www.freelists.org/list/icon-discussTo unsubscribe from the list send a blank message with unsubscribe in the subject line to:icon-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To post to this list, send your message to: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxFor answers to the most frequently asked questions about Icon and Braille +, Visitthe LevelStar and APH FAQ pages: Visit the LevelStar FAQ page at http://www.levelstar.com/support-faqs.php Visit the APH FAQ page at http://sun1.aph.org/webcast/brailleplus2/faq.html -- No virus found in this incoming message.
