Hi All,Can anyone compare this new case with the one from Handiworks? One problem with that one is that you have to make an extra hole if you want to plug earphones in with the case closed. So does the new Sendero case cater for that, and how is it if you want to walk along with the flap open to have quick access to the Braille display? In short, a more detailed review would be great.

4. A new custom case for the BrailleNote PK is available. Protect your $5000 investment with a $69 case (or $59 at time of purchase with another item). Sendero helped with the design so it is ideal for PK use in a variety of situations including with GPS. a. For example, the lid of the case closes with two magnets. This lid can be flipped under the PK for use when walking with it around the neck or over the shoulder. b. With these magnetic closures, there is no more Velcro to snag a sweater or other clothing. c. The material is soft and pliable but also durable. It has a very elegant feel to it. d. There is a zippered pouch in the lid of the case for business cards or compact flash cards. e. The convertible shoulder strap makes it easy to switch from a standard shoulder strap to a short carrying handle. You can also unfasten one end of the strap should you wish to place the GPS receiver near a window without detaching it from the shoulder strap. None of these features are offered on the default case that comes with the PK. To make sure that "baby" BrailleNote is well taken care of, order online at http://www.senderogroup.com/shopbnpk.htm or contact Sendero Group to purchase a new PK case. http://www.senderogroup.com direct phone: +1 530 757-6800 toll free phone (US & Canada): 888-757-6810 The above was taken originally from an email sent from Kim Casey, but is now available on www.chaosat.wordpress.com Thanks, Kevin I would encourage you to visit the Chaos World of Assistive Technology Blog at: http://www.chaosat.wordpress.com/ Postings are dealing with the latest and greatest happenings, tips and tricks and other items of interest. -----Original Message----- From: gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Howard Kaufman Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 1:49 PM To: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: BrailleNote PK Case Tell me about the case. I just came home and was thinking of a multi-section or roll up cover for the PK. What did they invent? No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
