I Changed the subject line to be closer to the subject at hand.

In regard to the new Stream case, I am also disappointed with the new case. 
no cover flap to keep the keyboard protected while not in use and no belt 
clip.  With the old Stream's case, I often kept the flap closed and operated 
it through the cover, thus offering some protection from accidently getting 
crud in to the keypad.

While Humanware is in a listening mode, this would be a good time to kindly 
suggest they go back to the case design they had with the first generation.

Speaking of design flaws with the new Stream, I often press the volume down 
key in conjunction with the record button since they are opposite each 
other.  On the older Stream, the record button was positioned further down 
the right side thus avoiding this problem.  Is anyone else having this 
problem, or am I the klutz?
