I also agree with todos. I was actually planning on never using a cover for it. I see people on buses just toss their cell phones into their bag when they approach their stop, and why should an e-reader be any different.
I dislike the principle of the thing to some extent. You walk into an accessory store and you see a bunch of square to rectangular shaped pieces of material and one is a book cover, one is a Bible cover, one is a CD cover, and one is a cover for an Ipod Touch, and each of them cost over $40 bucks.
When my children were babies, people used to freak out that I didn't have a diaper bag, too. Why should I need one when I already had a knapsack to stick stuff in? An expensive gimmick only designed to be used for the first couple years...
I've always been a "toss it into my bag and who cares" girl. My gecko cover was kind of an impulse purchase because I was constantly wiping smudges and dust and little crumbs or whatnot (people can be slobby), whenever I went out. At home I use it naked, and I mostly use the cover when I go out.
What influenced me to finally get a cover was nothing but my own paranoia that Murphy's law would happen to me, and I'd naturally be the one to slip on ice, watching my e-reader fly out of my hands and shatter into a million pieces, taking my heart with it. A couple of times I gasped as my reader almost fell out of my hands onto pavement.
But at home, I like the feel of the plain reader in my hands.
