I would say that the price tage of $500 for the clear case is a ridiculous
sum. I run a Newton Group and this case has garnered a lot of interest from
our last meeting. The price would come down considerably if the run of
cases is increased. As for price I would be willing to pay $100-150 for
this ultra-cool case. And with that 15 of my members would do the same.
Again I commend the Japanese for making this a possibility. Their
enthusiasm for making accessories for dead products like the Newton and
Powerbook 2400 is truly inspiring.
