Yes, when I bought my first e-book cover for my Kindle 1 I thought they were way overpriced.
I am very accident prone and very hard on electronics. I was the only one at the University to kill 2 different TI-85 calculators in 5 years. (from overuse, not dropped or getting it wet or anything) I keep my iPods protected and I thought it would be a really good idea to get one for my Kindle 1.
Fast forward about 3 years and the Kindle 1 is still in great shape and still going strong. The Kindle 2 with durable cover is also still going strong. So when it came to purchase a cover for the Nookie Color, I threw down the 35 bucks with no second thought. I would rather have the protection that I know the cover gives to the device rather than leave the device to the mercy of my 11 kitty cats...
The better built covers are worth the money and protection they give the e-reader from accidental falls from a table or a shelf. It also protects them in my purse from things like my car keys banging around...
