Any non-Sony covers still available?
I'm still using the standard Sony cover for my 505.
I'm not interested in covers with lights. Otherwise, are there any neat/handy non-Sony covers that are still available for my 505? If so, which ones and where? Thanks! |

I have a M-Edge cover (one of the leather ones) for my 505, and they say that their covers for the 600 will also fit the 505. Case Logic also brings up a couple of 600 covers on their device search, or if you check "will this fit my device?".
I can't recommend the M-Edge cover highly enough, by the way. I lucked out and got mine cheap when Amazon was clearing out the 505 variety, but having held and used it, I would pay full price for it in a heartbeat if I needed another one. It feels "booky". I bought the last one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product If I hadn't already bought a different one, I would also probably have picked up M-Edge's booklight. The cover has a little slot that a tab on the booklight mounts in, for easy use. The light I have isn't quite so convenient, but it's usable as either a laptop light or a booklight (handy for my netbook) and it has a battery pack with USB output that can feed a couple of other small USB-powered devices in an emergency. This is my booklight: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product |

PRS-600 covers should fit your 505.
Peter, when M-Edge was clearing them out, I bought a PRS-505 Executive Jacket and put it on my PRS-600. It fit perfectly, so I have to assume their PRS-600 jackets will fit the 505.

Thanks for the info in this thread and also in the other thread here.
I found this m-Edge Kindle Latitude... I like the idea of just taking my PRS 505 in its cover and placing the whole things in this case for traveling. Plus, this case has some extra pockets where I can stick certain things e.g. recharging cable, paper clip for reset, etc. Last edited by petercreasey; 05-19-2010 at 02:46 PM. |

Note that wikipedia reports the dimensions of the 505 and the 600 this way: PRS-505 specifications Size: 175 × 122 × 8 mm (6.9" × 4.8" × 0.3") PRS-600 Size: 175.3 x 121.9 x 10.2 mm (6.9" x 4.8" x 0.4") So, a case for a 600 might be 2.2mm too "roomy" for a 505 - less than a 10th of an inch, but possibly still enough to keep the elastic from fitting snugly. However, you could always add something behind the 505 to fill in the gap. |
