I like to read from my VDX by propping it up against something on a table. Does anyone know of a case that has an adjustible back that allows you to set the VDX on a flat surface at an angle (sort of like when it's sitting in the cradle)?

If it were an adjustable angle it would be better. If I could just find a place that sold the torsion hinges that are used in my laptop I could just superglue one to the back and that would be good enough for me - anyone know anything about those "torsion hinges" (I may be making the name up - but you know what I mean, the hinge between screen and keyboard on a laptop that holds the screen at variable angles?)

Thanks for any input

Or you could attach it to a Stowaway keyboard, which holds it at an angle.

extreme limits, they even show it pictured online.

VC has a write up on it, and a link.

Looks like a straightjacket to me.

The E&B Slipper can be used as you describe with a little practice, though it doesn't work all that well on smooth surfaces (like a table or desk).

Stowaway al lthe way. And if you are concerned about battery loss, just turn it off in the keyboard driver.

I built a stand out of wood for my Prism. It collapses so it
can easily be packed for travel. Sometime I will try to post
pictures of it.

A collapsible travel stand!
What a great idea!

I also will send a pic when mine is done.
