I picked up a nice leather Kobo cover via eBay that cost me around AU$35. It is sturdy and protects my Kobo well.

At the other end of the spectrum, I paid AU$80 for an M-edge platform cover via Amazon (the postage was a killer).

My wife has one of her JBL's in a customised handmade sleeve that was well worth the cost simply because it is a one off. Her everyday JBL resides in a hard zip-up case from Smiggle.

You buy what you can afford or are willing to pay. But in the end adequate protection for your device sometimes leaves no room for compromise, especially if there are limited options available.
