I'm curious about something else involving the case. When you use the case
with gps, is the case open all the time as you're walking along, so you can
give commands to the BN? Or do you keep it closed and then just open it
long enough to key in whatever you need to key in to make GPS do what you
want it to do, and then close the case again. I can't envision walking
around with a BN case wide open and the BN exposed to whatever you might
crash into or brush against; but I can't imagine not having the keyboard
accessible to give commands. Keep in mind that I've never seen how the GPS
actually works, though I intend to see if I can get a demo.

Don makes a good point here. I have done this with both versions of the
case for my QT since I have had it. Indeed the new case is even better to
protect the front thumb keys while writing with the unit propped up on my
thighs while in bed at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. the only problem is
the kittens want to keyboard too from time to time. I have forbidden this
as they have not and refuse to learn Braille first.
The extra padding also works well at other times and provide a non-skid
surface or nearly so when needed.
cthank you!

Getting to the infrared port if you have the accessory or gps pouch
attached is a bit tricky as you have to move the gps case to clear the
port. But, in
general use, I don't find the case is a problem when trying to access the
ir port.
What I do is to open the case and fold the top back so the top of the case
is actually under the bn. This also gives an extra padded resting place
for the
bn. When you do this, all ports and the modem connection can be easily
accessed.
Since the case is made of a flexible material, it really is easy to fold
back and use to support the bn.

Hi Richard. I find this interesting because I have the current BrailleNote
case and use the infra-red port at least three or four times a day. Nothing
blocks it on my unit and there is no need to take it out of its case. So
this sounds like there may be a fitting problem on your machine, or perhaps
you are mis-identifying where the infra-red port is? It's on the rear of
the unit on the bottom right, and feels kind of like a rectangular window.
Now it is true that the case has to be open in order to use the infra-red
port, but that makes sense I think.
