Wink Leather case for 350 (hand made in South Pacific)

Hello all...

The intention of this post is… no, there is no special reason I’ve to admit.

But there are several threads regarding covers and sleeves for EReaders. Sony doesn’t deliver one in their X50 series. And they collect a huge amount of money for those simple plastic sleeves. And there seems to be no leather cover for the PRS350.

So I bought some raw (pig-) leather (3mm thickness), a needle and twine and tinkered it with my own hands. Isn’t that difficult.
Most of the time the reader sticks in the cover like in picture one. Normally it rests in one of my pockets. It takes just a view seconds to switch it on and continue reading while remaining in the sleeve.

For save transportation the reader sticks that way in the cover:

You need just leather, twine, a knife (used a normal swiss army pocket knife), one leather needle and a sharp metal to pierce the holes into the thick leather. And time, of course.

Sadly, as I wrote in another thread, the reader gave up (power) after one week. No wonder, there are view things you can do on such a location exept reading and fishing...

Besides: that's one of the experiments to load the battery of the PRS350:

In the end I found a very cumbersome method to protract a complete powerloss.


Hoping you are not bored but, as may be the case, inspired.
