today, against my will, went w/ the little woman to do some "yard salin'"; used to do it a lot and scored heavily, but now
this area is polluted w/ many doing the same, and it's difficult to find anything good. BUT, hit one house, saw an old clean Canon Palmtronic for $1.00, picked it up and moved into the garage where the books were stored; picked out a couple, glancing fast - started to turn away when i saw the familiar ring binding of a possible HP calc manual, grabbed it,
and sure enuff it was an HP45 Applications book. Still not thinking clearly, purchased it, and started to turn away, when i asked the gentleman who was running the estate sale if there was a calculator to match - he said if it was, it was out on the table where i picked up the Canon. Back outside for me, i'm searching for the calc, or the familiar black soft case, but don't see any - almost turned away when i saw the black hardcase and the HP emblem caught my eye, otherwise it was just another electric razor case (LOL!) to me. here's what i found:

my question is: how rare are the hardcases? i'm fairly certain this was an actual HP calculator accessory as the
unit and items fit fairly nicely, and the cutouts are correct for the accessories; by the way it was an HP45 w/ charger,
owner's manual and quick reference inside.
i quickly went thru info on this website but haven't seen any reference to hardcases as yet (or i missed it); any info appreciated!
tnx,
