original HP calculator cases.

[Zaphod]

Quote:1. I know there are at least two varieties of cases for the 41 as I have one of each. They are very similar, but one clearly has a little more "breathing room".
• The smaller one looks to be about 1 cm shorter (eyeball estimate)
• The smaller one looks to be about 1 cm narrower (eyeball estimate)
• The mottled brown "pleather" material of the smaller one has a slightly different color cast... maybe a tinge of green.
• Does anyone know which case was used with what models and when? My "smaller" one came with a fullnut 1982 HP-41CV, while the bigger case came with a 1986 halfnut 41-CX. No idea if either was original to its calculator, though.

I seem to remember when I bought my 41 (brand new, but gone long since) the case had space to accommodate the 41 and the card reader attached, and I think there was a foam block in there to use the case when you didn’t have the card reader ?

Can’t remember the colour though.
