Depends on the mood. I ALWAYS want a cover out-and-about, and sometimes at home -- sometimes not. Couple of reasons why:

- Most covers are bulky when folded back on themselves, so having the option was a requirement. (mine folds nicely, but I didn't know at the start)

- Covers are either protective or light. The lighter the reader more protection I want.

Most of the time, my old 600 stayed in its cover, but the occasional desire to read "bareback" ended up breaking the spine on my old deluxe cover. When I'm out and about, I want my cover attached to the reader (else, I'd loose it), so a slipper won't do. I ended up with a MEdge as a compromise, but wanted something more like the previous cover. When I switched to the 350, it was time to do something different.

In the end "easy removability" is a designed feature of this bracket, but "durability" was the primary design goal. In fact the first version of the bracket was screwed in with a flat-head screw, but to quote Digital Steve:
