The screen on the x50 readers is recessed quite a bit in the case thanks to the IR sensors-- you'd need quite a bit of bending on a rigid cover to make it touch the screen.
I made several covers for my 300 before I settled on a design I liked. All of them had at their core old bookcovers-- I looked at a local Goodwill store for hardback books with about the right thickness (length and width aren't as critical, because the boards can be trimmed) and removed the pages from the books. I then tried a couple of methods of covering them with fabric with glue, which didn't work well, and I ended up hand stitching two sheets of fabric (a faux leather) along all sides of the cover. The reader was held to the cover with velcro. I haven't made a cover for my 350 yet, but I saved a ragged old leather jacket that would otherwise be thrown away to use on the reader when I get around to making the cover.
