The important differences between this and using a "junior pad" case
1--this one FITS like a glove. Just enough extra space, evenly distributed, to make you feel that iff you dropped it--the edge would take most of the shock.
2--It fits in a BDU pocket. The Compact was sized specifically to fit in a BDU thigh pocket (Battle Daily Uniform) which is incredibly handy for also fitting into my coat pocket or my husband's coat pocket. It just fits in more places. I usually wear an apron around the house and it fits in that pocket too. DH says it will fit pretty much anywhere a TV guide or Reader's Digest would fit (he used to carry around a Reader's Digest just because it fit in his pocket).
3--The Zipper zips both ways and it is very well made. Levenger will stand behind ANY of their stuff. I reurned a folio that was coming unstitched at the zipper 4 years after I bought it. They didn't have the same color anymore but they replaced it with the same item and gave me a choice of colors.
And yes--I tried it in a BDU pocket.

You make a good point about 'dropping' it. Yes, we all know that one should never drop a Cybook, (And I gave a vivid real-life example which cost me my Cybook, ultimately.) but stuff happens. I've actually dropped the latest Cybook - while in it's Fellowes Travel Folio - about 1-1/2 feet, maybe 2 feet, and it's survived quite nicely due to all the padding.
But it doesn't 'quite' fit into the pockets of some of my clothes. Most, but not all. As I don't wear uniforms, I don't know if my larger pockets qualify as 'BDU-sized'.
