I see that those rubbery (silicon?) looking covers with an opening for the screen are being sold for Kobo touch now. I presumed that they just had a big hole but a post elsewhere on this forum suggest to me that there is a clear plastic sheet that protects the screen itself. Good idea if this is true, though it seems like a marketing mistake that there isn't a big sign advertising this fact. I certainly missed this feature, if it exists.

But back to this thread, is there any water resistance factor to these 'skin' things?
