The one you can get from Amazon (the leather one) is very sturdy, protects it well, and has a slim form-factor. I'd recommend it!

if you look around on this accessory page you will see several different options. there is the purely functional as Gideon has mentioned to the aesthetically pleasing such as the Oberon (and they are protective as well). ENJOY!

This is a breakdown on cases and covers I did you may find helpful...click here.
There are a few newer covers since I did it but it should still give you a good starting point.

Welcome to MobileRead, pchoi.

I think cases are like the readers themselves.......there's a perfect one for you out there.

Personally, I have the M-Edge cover.....I love it, but some people have lots of different ones.

Octochicks link is a great place to start.

Enjoy the forums.

I second the M-Edge cover recommendation. I have the original Amazon case and the M-Edge which costs the same price, and the M-Edge is much nicer. There are two varieties actually - the M-Edge Go! Jacket, which costs $30, and the Prodigy, which at $45 is slightly more padded and has the closure strap.

Personally, the one I'm using the most is the Go! Jacket.

Well, weatherman, have YOU voted??

I'm very happy with the Amazon cover, not particularly stylish but functional in that academic notebook/lab book sort of way. The only concern I have with it is the possibility of it opening as it drops. I haven't had that happen in the only drop I've done so far but I am considering the M-Edge due to that (plus the built in light).

I have the Patagonia cover and love it.

There are so many makers now, its probably going to be hard to recommend one out of the other.
