If anyone wants, I will see about taking pics later.
I agree. Here are some Pics of my case https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11420 .

I've dropped my reader several times, and it's spent a lot of time being poked by pointy bits in my briefcase and Xrayed by the TSA. A soft leather case feels nice while reading, and provides a little cushioning. Actual protection, on the other hand, needs to come from a tough rigid plastic.
