Hey, that's an absolutely fantastic idea! And you could probably make it even better by sewing it to fit over the entire unit like a shower cap, so nothing gets dirty--not just the Braille cells. My sister- in-law sews; maybe I'll ask her to whip me up some covers for my BrailleNote PK, BrailleSense Polaris, and my Brailliant BI 32. Thanks for the awesome idea! HIMS used to make a cover like that which you'd get with your BrailleSense, but they no longer make one for the Polaris, which is a shame, considering how expensive these devices are.
