A day after getting my Kobo ... I decided I needed a protective case for it ... and the $30 leather one at Chapters/Indigo just didn't fit the bill ...
So ... I thought I'd share what I came up with.
I went to Staples and for $10 got a small "portfolio" that came with a pad of paper, some pockets etc.
I like to have paper handy when I read ... to jot down whatever ... but the pad slipped into a pocket on the right hand side of the portfolio ... and that's where I wanted the reader to "live" ... so I slipped the pad out of the pocket ... and put it under the flap on the left hand side. Next I glued some of that "non-slip" stuff you get at the $ store onto the outside of the right-hand side pocket. This keeps the reader from slipping while reading it.
When I'm not reading it, the Kobo slips nicely into the pocket
[originally intended for the pad of paper] ...
There's also a pocket on the outside ... onto which my handy little book light clips/fits nicely.
So ... for $11 Cdn ... I've got a portfolio that zips up ... fits in even my smaller purse ... and can go with me anywhere.
Hope this helps someone else ...
