This way it wouldn't be as snug and I could fit the padding in. What would be suitable padding...it would be in contact with the screen of course?

Was hoping to pick up something at a dollar store or hardware store.

I figure something 'soft', but I don't know if some materials may actually hurt the screen.

Thanks.
I made this exact case in December using felt from the dollar store attached to the case using double-sided tape in several locations. It is plenty soft enough and, because of the width of the DVD ridges, they contact the bezel and not the recessed screen. Its actually a great case. The Kobo doesn't move inside and hasn't seen any damage even though I bring it in backpack every day. I use wrapping paper as a sleeve insert.
