You're welcome. And they are available at any produce section in your favorite supermarket. The price is right too as all dog guide users know. And always carrying several for the dog's needs they are always available for those sudden surprise showers. I've also tested in some downpours and they work great there too.

I had the opportunity to try the Gil Lutz method of keeping my BrailleNote dry, on a mildly rainy day here in Chicago. I took a standard plastic grocery bag, poked two holes for the BrailleNote strap, rigged the unit inside the bag, tucked the excess plastic into the case, and off we went. It never rained hard but this means of keeping the BrailleNote dry worked great. I could of course hear the unit fine but I could also read the braille display through the plastic just fine as well.

We got a good ten miles of walking around the city. The rain never got bad enough to make us dive for cover and it kept the temperature very pleasant for a vigorous walk. Thanks for the tip Gil.
