Re: Leather case for the HP-Prime Message #5 Posted by Bruce Bergman on 18 Oct 2013, 11:17 a.m., in response to message #4 by Jeff O.
Yeah, as much as I loved the old HP leather cases, the kids today (middle school and up) simply NEVER have cases for their calculators. Remember, this is a cheap commodity to them, even at $100. The hard plastic cover does its thing by protecting the screen and such, and that's all they need. Toss it in the backpack and hope it survives. :-)
Personally, this may be one of the first HP calcs in a long time that I don't feel like I need a case for it. Interestingly enough, I think it's because of how slim it is. I am constantly surprised at exactly how slim and sleek this calc is, especially compared to the TI's and Casio models that are out there right now. Slim, even with the case on, just seems to fit.
Thanks!
Bruce
