The plastic tab on the case of my PRS-505 broke. When I wnt to Sony, they looked up the case in the spare parts list and gave me a price of about $330. I fixed it with some adhesive velcro. Last year I went to Sony looking for the AC power supply. I had my 505 with me so i convinced the salesman to try a 600 cover on my 505 since they appeared to be the same size. It is a perfect fit.

I was in Futureshop today and they a flogging the covers for the 300 and 600 for $30. I think this is $10 off the usual price. They have no 350's or 650's and are selling the 300 and 600 for $150 and $200. Maybe the current models will go cheaper once the new ones arrive.

A wriststrap is always a good idea.
