Well if you look on the backside of the part that pops up to angle the newt
you will find two spots for PC cards (if it is the canvas case, the leather
version has more spaces for the cards from what I can tell, but both that
those straps)

As far as I can tell it does have the quite a few pockets. And I know the
Satalite case that they make now does, and you can get a divider for even
more space. I am looking for a handstand myself actually.

The Breifcase I wanted to get myself, and almost did buy one till I relaized
that it ALSO used those straps. I never thought that such a nice case
otherwise would ALSO use those straps! Especally since they often go for
about $100 on ebay. But I guess to each there own. And you are right,
there is tons of room in that case, and holds the keyboard and the newt all
set up and can be angled like the portfoilo case. It is a great case, if
you don't mind the straps.
