Excellent printer - Here is info on bluetooth adapter; case.5

We bought this little gem to take to Europe. First impressions are very favorable. It's small reliable and prints beautifully. At just over four pounds it's perfect for travel.



The little Bluetooth adaptor also works very well. Reading the manual (!) I discovered it is possible to mount the adapter permanently inside the printer so that it's not exposed and doesn't need attachment every time it is used. This is a simple procedure and enhances the usefulness of the Bluetooth capability that is all but de rigueur when traveling. The installation / setup information is also in the electronic manual that comes on the CD.



But as good as the printer is it does not come with (nor does Canon offer) a case of any kind. I found the perfect solution - from Case-Mate: go to http://www.case-mate.com/laptop/macbookpro15/15gblackcases2 and buy the 'Glovez 15"' sleeve (like a large envelope with a velcro closure / flap). It comes in an assortment of colors and is a skin-tight (but very workable) fit in the 'length' direction. When inserted the printer doesn't take up every bit of the case in the 'width' direction meaning there is just enough room to also accommodate the cord and AC brick. Throw these in close the flap and you're always ready to roll.



Best part: this 'Glovez' sleeve is only $9.99 + $3.99 S/H and gets to you in a few days. It's not bulky - just what one wants to protect the printer but not take up room. (As an aside the Case-Mate Glovez 13" [for the MacBook 13" and Air] fits the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 perfectly).More detail ...
