Better fitting case for a HP-41C?
Message #1 Posted by Dimitri Simitas on 15 Feb 2010, 1:24 p.m.

Title pretty much says it all. The case seems to be sized for a HP-41C with card reader (foam in the bottom) but too big to fit in my laptop bag pocket. Anyone know of any alternatives?

For some of my HP-41 units (the CY's;-) I use the HP-55 zipper case,
which fits exactly, and also looks better than the original case.

The spice cases are a decent fit.. from time to time you will see a HP 41 with a black case similar to the ones shipped with SPICE units.

Tighter than I would like. I have been using one but refrained when using the infrared module too.

It's just a guess, but couldn't the zipper case of an HP-48 series unit do the job as well? It might be a bit too long but placing a piece of foam inside it could make a HP-41 fit right into it?

They might also be a bit easier to find. However, I'm not totally sure about the dimensions though...

Actually the case for the calculator has foam due to length I want a shorter case that fits the length right.

Educalc made a black leather one that fit the classics & 41. It had their name embossed onto it and a slot for a business card. Kind of hard to find now if you don't have a time machine.
