After reading all the responses, let me share my 2=A2 worth.
I have the exact case you show in the pictures. I have my Newton in=20
those straps plus I have a small piece of velcro on the bottom back and=20=
the top back of the Newton. It's a bit of an effort when I feel like I=20=
have to press the little reset button in the back but then, I don't do=20=
that very often.
I used to have this other case where you turn back the flap and slide=20
the Newton in from the top. But I don't have any space in there for=20
driver's license (yes, they actually let me drive here!!) and credit=20
cards (yes, they also gave me a credit line - man was I surprised!). I=20=
swapped with my wife who has a big back pack like handbag and doesn't=20
keep her little cards and stuff in the Newton case anyway.
What I really really wanted was a Communications case for the MP2x00 - I=20=
have one for my old 130 - but I think they are so rare, they are=20
impossible to come by.
Best regards,
Chris
