 Hi,Does this new case still protect the whole device?

Another note about the BrailleNote Touch is that inside the carrying case
that comes with it, it weighs twice as much as the Apex, because the
BrailleNote is 2 pounds and the carrying case is 2 pounds. I ended up buying
a new, lighter, leather case from Executive products, I think, and I really
like it, but the drawback is no physical keyboard. I'm fine with that
because I didn't like the physical keyboard in the carrying case--it isn't
Bluetooth as far as I can tell, it's just pressing on the screen like your
fingers would do when using touch braille, and once I got the hang of touch
braille, I was more accurate with that. Also the new carrying case doesn't
have coverings over the sides of the device shifting around and turning it
on and off all the time either.

Miso,
I have the Braille Sense U2 qwerty keyboard model, and I have to say it's an
awesome device. It's light weight, and it can easily be put in a back pack,
or any other bag used for school, ETC. I'll be checking out the Braille Note
this Monday in more detail, as I want to get a sense of what it is like, but
I'm more a fan of my Braille Sense. I'd say do your research on both
devices, before making a decision.
I do hope this helps.
Take Care,

I have the braille note touch and I love it.
