[...]I want the leather case, but it's all right with me if I get the calculator quickly and the nicer case arrives a few weeks later. Is there a way to do that at the reduced cost...

Yes, we are closed until the 18th and the current orders will leave that day (and some orders that have been returned by carriers too)

Understood. Nobody can be on the job 24/7 unless they're a pretty BIG organization with lots of overhead!

We have run out of black leather cases - we expected far less demand and the production batch was exhausted last week. The production time of such case make it impossible to have more until well into September.

For those who already bought the calculator with leather case and we unexpectedly run out of them, we will send the cases separately when they arrive at no cost. We have explained that to them in the invoice accompanying the calculator. We imagined that the real urge was for the calculator - at least it would be for me!

LOL, I agree, the urge is for the calculator. I think lots of us must have been thinking the same thing: "This is going to become one of my nicest daily drivers. Might as well keep my investment in a really nice case!"

Thanks so much for the rapid response! All very reasonable answers!

And I very much appreciate your desire to be totally upfront about the cases. It's obvious why you guys have such a good reputation in the calculator community.

So, if I want the leather case too, should I just go ahead and order just the calculator and then order the case separately when it's available? Still not quite sure how that would work for my situation.

Thanks again!
