I've been looking for a good case for months and finally found one I liked. It's an
Ellington Airport Express Travel Bag which I bought from Amazon for $35.00. It has a large zippered pouch that is just a bit wider than the Reader and about two inches taller and just thick enough that I can also slip in a good pad of paper for notes. It has a second smaller zippered pouch that I put my mp3 player, earbuds, and spare battery in, although it's intended to carry money, credit cards, etc. There are several other places to slip things into including a hidden area with a velcro closure. I slip a pencil into one of the pouches. It's light, water resistant, and comes with a loop for carrying on your belt (my preferred way) and also a removable strap so you can carry it like a map case or purse. Now I really do look like a nerd with a cellphone on my belt on one side and this thing on the other. Supposedly, it's available in several colors but I ordered one and they said they only had black. I'm not sure what it's made of - a composite with a durable cloth-like outer layer and a nylon or something inner layer. I'm pretty happy with it.
