I just want a nice leather slip case or "sheath" for the reader. That way it is protected and stylish in the case, but when I take it out to read, I am actually taking it out completely. I think it would be more comfortable to read if it was without the cover attached, but I want the protection of the cover.

Someone please take this idea and make it or let me know someone who does!

How about something like this:

A bit expensive and it's not a pouch, per se, but you can zip up your Reader nicely in it. I can attest to the quality - I have a case for my Treo made by them and it's lasted forever and looks great too!

Good luck,
CJ

Thanks! That is a pretty good compromise for the time being.

How about this one (http://www.thepouch.com/sony-prs-500.html).

Let us know if you bite the bullet and go for it. I'd love to hear how it fits and possibly order one myself. I was really hoping Vaja Cases would come out with a leather case for the Reader, but it looks like they are not considering it.
