I've been searching everywhere for a case that would fit my Aluratek Libre Color. I did buy one online, but think it might be 1 cm or so too short. Waiting for it to arrive.
The Aluratek cover on their site seems to be for the Pro, and also not going to fit the ALC.

So, I looked online for ideas to make my own, since I wanted something that would be able to fold open like a book, protect the reader from most bumps and scratches, but also be able to close up and be secure.

Concocting a few ideas, my husband set himself to work while I was out and now I have a secure cover, using an old leather dayplanner cover. It is a bit more bulky than I wanted, though, but it can be switched over later if need be.

I'll try to upload a picture here; it is on my 4Shared drive.

Link if picture doesn't work.
