TPU Skin for 350

Anyone heard of such a beast being available yet?

I can't believe there still isn't a nice silicone skin for the 350.

It's begging for one, and it'd be so easy to design, given how touch-centric the thing is.

I don't even care what color it is!! I just need something.

I've used TPU skins for my cell phones but have never seen one for the Sony Readers. All the skin will really do is protect the outer casing from scratches but do nothing for the screen, which is the most sensitive and expensive part of the Reader.

So it's been 3 months since this thread started and I see there are TPU cases available from eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/120682527551
http://cgi.ebay.com/400194026076
http://cgi.ebay.com/400194029852

Anyone have experience with these cases?

I think it'd be nice if there was a case of this type with an attached thin fold-back lid to protect front.

completely agree...

Here's an idea for a product if someone wants it -- a thin sheet of plastic/aluminum that only covers the front and fits into the 2 holes on the side of the reader. That way it can fold back out of the way while reading. and the TPU/silicone protects the rest of the reader.

I'm looking for something exactly like that. The official cover is nice, but even the one without the light makes the reader bulkier. The reader alone is really thin and light, but I don't trust using it without the cover as it's fragile, a skin with a protection for the the screen when it's in my pocket for example would be just perfect, of course the whole should be very light. I wonder why no one has made something like that yet, the cover for the screen could also be just attached to the skin, that may be even easier to do.
