Re: 701 case

[Gabriel.Ash.1@nd.edu (Gabriel Ash)]

I have the cheap IBM portfolio, and I am very satisfied. On the minus
side, it isn't closed from the sides, and the padding is good on the
top and bottom but less so on the rear and front. On the plus side,
you don't have to take it off when you work. It's easy to carry it
around from room to room in it - doesn't add much weight and gives you
some exra shock protection, considering that the 701 is quite robust
in itself, I think that's enough. And when going longer distance I put
it in my unpadded bag and I feel it is quite safe. Also, it has
cooling holes in the back.
