The latter will convert your nice HP42S pocket calculator into a rather big brick
I'm not sure which hardcase you're referring to as being a large brick. I have two of the hard plastic cases made by Astech Industries. The 42s slides into them and when closed aren't much bigger than the leather slip case. I can easily carry it in my shirt or coat pocket. It has a neat hinge at the top which lets the case fold back onto itself creating a nice stand which will place the caculator at a perfect working slant.
As you can tell, I really like these Astech cases.
I've never seen the Astech case by itself on e-bay, but have seen them every now and then included with a 42s calculator. I bought mine a few years ago from someone who still had a few new old stock. At that time I paid $75 each for them. Expensive, but well worth it for the protection they give. I use my 42s as my daily calculator in the office and the field.
If you can find one, the Astech case is the way to go.
