Modern case for HP 71b

[rprosperi]

The latch works well and easily slips under the retaining bar, without stressing/stretching the handle.

Only low pressure is needed to push the latch button to release it, the case leather is stiff enough that it does not bend enough to affect the keyboard. Inside the case, the back of the metal latch is covered with material to prevent it touching/scratching the keyboard.

Regarding the handle retention rivets on the 2 inner sides, they are smooth and flush and do not interfere with the 71B. In the photo, they appear larger due to the shiny surface reflection.

This is a high-quality case, made of excellent materials and assembled with precision and care. I can comfortably recommend it to other 71B owners.
