I think you may have gotten lucky here. I thought I'd finally found a good deal on the 950 after reading your post and I decided to try the same thing myself at my local Bestbuy.

I was told, by a clipboard carrying lady who looked like she must be the manager that they could not give me the price of the cover off of the reader, because it was a package deal. The most she offered was: "We can order the cover for you."

I have no doubt that the covers cost them much less than they sell them for and that this is the only reason they are offering this deal at all, so I'm surprised they took the price of the cover off for you--especially since you were requesting the most expensive cover of all those they sell (most of the covers being a lot less than $50)!

Skillful shopping.
