I bought a Kroo Melrose case for my 600; by carefully removing the top elastic and leather straps with a seam ripper and gluing them about 1/2 inch lower inside the case, it now works quite well for my 650. I used a glue called Weldbond, which you should be able to find at most craft stores; clamp it and let it dry overnight, and it holds just fine. Just make sure you position the Reader in the case and mark where the straps need to sit before gluing.

I also replaced the magnetic clasp on my case with a large Velcro dot - I have a thing about magnets near my electronic equipment ever since my Sansa Fuze died in a magnetic-clasp case last year.
