Perhaps you can drop a few things on the side and use the money to make up the cost for the cover.
With the DXG you probably won't want a cover, the thing is a brick. Though I can hold it with 1 hand, I for sure could not with a cover on.

Why add weight to an already heavy device?

Slip cover/shell wins for sure. It's not like I'm going to drop the thing. And it's not like those flimsy little leather covers that cost 130$ + shipping/tax 150$? will do anything if you do drop the device. Better off just RMAing it for a new screen and paying amazon 150$ to replace the screen when/if you do crack it later down the line (which probably never will happen). Then you don't have to add extra brick weight too.
