[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT I Pad and net book

[Annette Carr]

I do not think there is any way to carry a braille display in the case for
the iPad and keyboard.  But next time I see it I will pay attention.

Anet,
does the case hold the braille display as well...that would be nifty. I use
the keyboard with the I phone and I pad and the Easy braille with both...but
having a case would be great.
