I broke down last night and picked up the official Sony pocket edition cover for $30 USD. Feels over priced for a fake leather cover. It also does not seem to offer protection if thrown in a book bag or dropped. What I do like about it though is that its really thin.

I found a good looking external hard drive case that unfortunately it did not fit. It also ran $20 bucks.

I am going to keep my receipt, and new cheaper covers seem to be appearing weekly and if something else comes up or I find the right materials I may make my own.
