Accessories Planner style case for eDGe

Does anyone know where I could find a planner-type case for my eDGe? I'd love to be able to take all of the business cards and pictures and stuff from my planner and transfer it all to a case that could hold my eDGe, especially since I no longer need my planner calendar due to using the one on my eDGe.

Any ideas?

I'd be interested to know, too.

Something like this, just remove the ring bar- usually attached with rivets.

How weird is that, I know I put a link here.

I've been using the Manfolio from County Comm for a while now.

At another user's suggesting, I took some photos of it with the eDGe and how I use it.

I removed the smaller pockets from the center and added the torn-out cardboard back of a legal pad to give it some rigidity. The small stick-like device seen in some of the pics is a independent battery powered portable scanner from Brookstone. It stores to microSD, so I keep the SD card adapter in one of the pockets.

What is the third item alongside the eDGe in picture #5?

That's the scanner. It's this thing: http://www.brookstone.com/portable-d...-handheld.html

It has a black drawstring cover over it in some pics.

I was wondering that, too! Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

That's awesome!!! Thanks!!!

Besides the quality its important how fast it scans, I couldn't find information about that. I found information about another scanner that looks like it and it takes 56 seconds for that one to scan one A4 page. That's slow I think. But maybe this one is faster (it's a bit more expensive).

I really like the Manfolio. I looks like it would be great for students. Right now I only take my Entourage eDGe and a few sheets of paper (in case of in-class assignments). I like the fact I can place the paper and what ever hand-outs I receive from the instructor inside the pockets of the Manfolio along with the eDGe. A place for everything and everything in its place. From the looks of it, it appears to be light.

It has it's pros and cons. You can select 300 or 600 dpi, and Color or B&W, and you move the roller by hand over the surface of the paper. Color at 600 DPI requires the slowest movement, about 13 seconds, and B&W at 300 is very fast, about 3-5 seconds, though I prefer to move slow and deliberate to get the best scan.

Handheld scanners are never going to be as precise as a stable flat-bed scanner, but they are much smaller and more convenient. I often have to go to a medical record archive and a journal library archive to get copies of records or papers that are not available any other way. The records department has a xerox machine, but it is located one room over and the doc often wants a scan anyway, so it would be double-duty. And the library you have to wait in line to use the copier and input a password. This thing makes my day go that much faster. It stores to a micro SD, so after scanning I usually put the chip into an adapter and put it in the eDGe to see how the scan came out.

The alternative, from what I know, is to bring a full size laptop with a peripheral scanner into the records room every time and power the thing up. Definitely not practical in my case.

It is quite light, mostly made of nylon. Only downside I would give it is the lack of a real handle or strap except for that one loop in the corner. I tend to carry it under my arm most of the time.

You're awesome, OncTech!

Is the B&W grayscale or bitmap or both?
