Good point, my suggestion above only applies for a 41 w/o card reader.

As for Spice cases, I never tried that before now; nice idea

I found the 41 fits perfectly in the larger/padded style Spice/Spike cases, but not really in the smaller/un-padded style. The latter style is too tight, and also, un-padded, which IMHO is too dangerous for carrying a 41; one drop in that and it will likely cost you post damage.

absolutely agree with Sylvain and with Bob, the larger/padded Spice's case fit perfectly and safely for the 41 c/readerless, and better slips into a suitcase/briefcase when you travel
for the cleaning I solved with hand washing and multiple rinse
the problem is when the calculator is affected... when I received time ago from Perù a calculator in very good conditions near mint but full of powdery residue inside and expecially under the display. Worried in opening it just from cleaning pourpose I simply returned the purchase and who knows if some guy was able to reset it to pristine conditions
