Based on other discussion here, I ordered the Oberon Designs small journal cover back at the end of December, while they were on vacation. It arrived last week.

I took the blank book out of it and it is indeed the perfect size for my PRS650. The blank book was about twice the thickness of the reader, so after I took it out I put the case under weights overnight, empty, to squash it flat to match the reader.

I used two strips of industrial strength adhesive velcro to stick the reader into the cover. My PRS650 is skinned and the velcro sticks very well to the skin and to the leather of the cover.

I then glued two small steel washers in the corners of the inside front cover with some adhesive sealant. They stick very well too. And when the cover is closed, they hold the corners in place against the magnetic corners of the reader. They wouldn't be enough to hold it shut alone, but the cover also has a strap.

The cover is very beautiful. I'd post pictures but the Oberon site has better pictures than I could ever take.
