Re: All pouches are NOT created equal . . . Message #3 Posted by Paul Brogger on 11 July 2002, 10:15 a.m., in response to message #1 by Eric Edwards
I don't know about the part numbers, but there are (at least) two different pouches:
The better (I think) higher-end pouch is stitched together, and is formed from a relatively complex vinyl material with a leather-like grain on the outside and a nylon-ish, fabric-like texture on the inside. I find these easier to use, as the calculator slides in and out smoothly.
The lower-end pouch (which I believe was consistently provided with the lower-end models like the 20S) has "welded" (melted-together) seams and is formed from a solid vinyl without a padded texture. I find these to be all but useless, as once the calculator is crammed all the way in, the slick vinyl inside grabs on and won't let go. (Maybe if I used one more regularly, it would expand and better serve its purpose, but I've not bothered to break one in.)
