Looking for a case for your A81?
I'm not talking about a full protective case, but one which allows you to access your MID as if it were a book (hey, this is an ebook forum).

Neither Wirelession or Witstech sells such a case so I started looking around. There are many sold for the Kindle and it's brethren but none have dimensions close to the A81. I took my ruler and went around to many stores measuring and finally found what I was looking for.

Staples sells a fake-leather case made by 'Avenues USA' for a mere $8.95. It is the RA-3408-02 and is sold as a 'Personal Card File'. You carefully cut-away the clear plastic inserts which are to hold business cards (I used an exacto-knife and placed cardboard between the inserts and the case... so I wouldn't cut into the case). The next step is to carefully place Velcro with sticky-back to both the case and to the back of the A81 (I placed about a half inch inside of each of the four corners).

Viola! It's superb for carrying like a book in either the horizontal or vertical positions.

Here's a couple of really bad cellphone images which might give some semblance
of what I'm talking about...
