This case works on the same concept as the DVD case, but the plastic is very stiff, and transmits the load along the outside edge. This avoids the potential to torque the reader through the Velcro dots. Since it's clear, you could always put your TCsM artwork on the inside of the cover. |
Thanks for the recommendation. I think I am just going to stick with my current model. I am including pics of it. It is pretty much like the Executive cover but with the added versatility of the notepad and pen holder and the added reinforcement of the 10 gauge sheet metal added to the front cover. I considered trying to do the metal add-on to the DVD case but that would screw up the lines of it.
Yes I know the pics suck but my camera is at work and I had to use my phone to take the pics. (Think about how ludicrous that would have sounded 20 years ago.)
The outside of the case, looking similar to the executive case
Nice area for papers and a business card and, look! A 505!
The notepad that is behind the flap that the reader is attached to, with another business card holder.
I attached the reader to the case by folding the stock cover back and inserting the front cover into a slot on the flap. Then the back cover is slid under and elastic strap. If you want to be more secure, like me, I added a bit of velcro to the back cover of the reader and the flap so the stock cover wouldn't slide around.
I am quite happy although it is larger than the DVD case, it is much more protected as well as stylish.
