Actually, no. I'm not interested in a cover[1] for the K3, just a sleeve with one hard face, to protect the screen/keyboard when not in use. I don't like naked screens bouncing around in my briefcase.

WRT experience, I've never damaged a PDA or reader by dropping one. The damage has usually come about either through inadvertent bending forces when being carried, or from inherent manufacturing defects (some HP/HTC PDAs had problems with this).

Since I work in a factory, I used Al Rhinoskin covers for my PDAs at work. One survived being dropped on the toe of my safety shoe, at the same time my foot moved, resulting in it being punted against a desk. No damage. Al cases are good things. My smartphone, alas won't fit in an Al case, so I use a padded cloth one.

[1] I assume you mean a bifold cover, like a wallet or book cover.
