I don't get it I see all these messages about cases for the Newton - why? I like the Newton bare so to speak. The cover on the 2100 provides all the protection the screen needs (which is why I bought a Sharp Expert Pad for my first Newton). I hate carrying anything I don't need and the cases just add bulk. I have an 8 Mb card in one slot and a Ethernet card in the other - what more could anyone possibly want. Then I just carry it or it goes into my briefcase with a book and papers or else my PC case with my Powerbook depending on where I am headed.

I agree. There is a lot of weight put on the hinges with this "fastening"
method and it doesn't/can't hold it that steady.

The only problem with those cases is that they use elastic straps to
hold the Newt via the screen door. After awhile it can cause the hinges
to crack. Unless you use another method of attachment which others on
this list have come up with some ingenius ways, usually with some method
of Velcro.
