The protective case is indeed for real and is actually in stock most
places ($98 and up in my net searches).
Too bad nobody knows about it; It is a pretty sophisticated little case.
Not quite as light as the other cases, but the protection is far superior,
and it looks pretty cool.
Anyway, for those wary of buying the protective case because of
a sheer lack of actual pictures or descriptions on the net:

DESCRIPTION:
The case is actually molded to fit the litepad and no other (very form-fitting).
The screen cover (not shown in NEC's rendering) has hand straps on the
back so when you flip it over the top and snap it to the back
of the case, you can effectively 'mount' the whole thing on one hand.
Individual access openings for almost all the ports (& stylus) allows
use-in-the-case without sacrificing protection.
A separate battery flap allows swapping the battery without
removing the tablet. |

I also like the small thumb indent that really helps when holding it in landscape mode. I really never used my TC1000 in landscape but find myself frequently doing so with the NEC in this case - especially when sitting down.

Dumb question (?). But how do you use the straps actually. I've got a Toshiba M200 which comes with a similar thing (Field Mate). So far I put my hand under the straps and hold the thing by the other edge... Perhaps a photo would help here.  |

Hi. What is the model number or actual name of this case. I can't seem to find any on the net.

Sorry, what's the difference between the executive and protective cases?

On the straps: I would actually describe it as "through" the straps where your hand, when inserted, resides between the case and the "x" formed by the straps. This applies regardless of whether you are holding it in portrait or landscape.

Stew:
The product code for the protective case is OP-LPAD-PC. If you conduct a search at pricegrabber.com for "litepad" you will find all of the accessories for the NEC.
The Executive case is the traditional pad folio style binder that opens like a book.
The protective case is a form fitting padded sleeve that opens like a flip top Steno pad[/url] |

Pez,

They seem to to have the prices for their cases switched. They have the protective case at $53 and executive case at $92.
I stress the importance of using NEC accessories and not some generic binder/portfolio case unless you plan on cutting holes for proper ventilation. I currently use a Franklin Covey TPC case, but remove my tablet prior to use--sort of defeats the purpose in many ways. I am thinking of using a neoprene or custom leather sleeve/boot since I really enjoy holding and using my LitePad when it's 2.24lbs.

I am looking for a neoprene pouch-style case that fits the Litepad well. Has any one found one? If so, where can I get one?
Thanks |
