RE: Rugged Case for HP-71B
Yes, a hard case for the 71B was sold through EduCalc, etc. but HP never released an HP Branded one. One some rare occasions, HP sold 3rd party products and gave them an HP part number (best known case is the HP-42S QRG created by REX Smith, which bears HP p/n 92222E) so I guess it's possible that's what is in the price list Dave shared.

The 71B hard case is made of light-colored (blonde) leather, with a flip-top secured by a steel buckle, and was made by the same company that made a much more commonly seen and similar looking case for the 41C. I'll look for the company in the EduCalc catalogs in Jake's PPC Archive and update this if I can find it.

Found it (see below), but no company name I'm afraid. (Jake's PPC Archive collection is soo handy for things like this...)

I have one, but it is currently buried too deep to photograph, but it isn't for sale, so probably no matter. I guess it's rare as I've only seen one other one on eBay in a lot of years of looking there.
