Kobo touch covers coming to Borders in late July
Stopped in my local Borders to ask about sleeves and covers for the kobo touch. Store manager informed me that they are expected in late July. She said this device is selling very well especially now that they are more widely available.

The review on the site for the one with the light was dated in April. I don't think this is for the Touch edition.

For the time being (that time being when a cover+light becomes available in the states) I have simply added some velcro to the inside cover of my Sony 650 lighted case, and the back of my new Kobo Touch. Since the KT is slightly shorter than the 650, it fits perfectly, and the 650 still fits in the case with no problem.

When buying a case for an eInk reader you really want one with a rigid front cover that won't deform and press on the screen. Otherwise it's quite easy to crack the glass in the screen while carrying it around with other things in your bag.
