DR800 Cover
From the 800/800SG reviews, I can see the default cover is not really useful. So who know where I can buy a good cover with a stylus holder?

I think it's still a little early to start seeing 3rd party covers, at least there aren't any that I'm aware of yet.
The only upgrade to the included slipcase that I know of is the iRex "luxury" cover: https://www.irexshop.com/product_inf...298416890336f1 |

I have the equivalent of this cover for my iLiad, and it's pretty nice. Much better protection than a slipcase, which is what I'm mostly interested in. Yes, it's pricey, but much cheaper than having to replace the screen. Last edited by Shaggy; 03-01-2010 at 01:17 PM. |

Don't remember. I think you can go to their shop, add it to your cart, and see the shipping without actually having to checkout. It's probably not cheap though, since it's coming from Europe.
I asked them a little while ago if it was available via any US retailers, and they said not at the moment. Hopefully that means that it will be at some point. |

I just bought a leather Filofax conference folder type thing to use as a cover. It offer good protection - it's not ideal but the device can be fitted in either inside the slipcase and than safely put in a backpack, or without the slipcase for carrying around when I've got to where I'm going. I bought it because I had also heard that the IREX supplied leather cover wasn't that great. When 3rd party properly designed covers become available I'll probably get one - and then I'll have a nice leather conference folder to find a use for!

I haven't really seen anything along those lines with regards to the leather cover. My main complaint about the included slipcovers is that they don't offer very good protection. Last edited by Shaggy; 03-01-2010 at 02:47 PM. |

I wish Oberon Design will have something for it. Call me shallow, but that's the only thing, that make me regret sending PRS-600 back and ordering IREX. The sony had nice cover selection.
I am going to write Oberon about their plans for IREX, but I will think more letters will help. |

I wonder if the deluxe cover can be put on rotated 180 so the fold is opposite of the flipbar and the pen is at the bottom? Ill probalby try to find a nice leather folio, similar to that "Luxury" Irex one, locally that it will fit in and velcro it in
