Okay brand new here, fairly sure this has already been addressed somewhere else but I can't seem to find anything on the subject...

I'm a student and I take my PB everywhere with me and so I notice every little blip possible. One being that when i close it up (to put in my incase or even just to close on my desk...) it doesn't close firmly at all. In fact it's rather loose and feels cheap almost, definately not up to my perfectionist PowerBook standards that i'm used to. It's like the rubber stoppers on the inside are too little or something, and I need bigger ones. I just don't like the idea of the outside edges (border of the screen area) slapping down against the edges of the keyboard/wrist area...especially when i'm walking with it in my bag! I cringe at the thought!

I've heard of some sort of accessory that solves this dillemma...but like I said, i can't seem to find anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

P.S. good to see that there are this many avid powerbook fans
