@Latch: I'm not much of a cover person, myself. In the first week or two when I got my KT, I thought I might skin it, or get a cover, but now that I've had it for two months, I am content with what I've got, which is no skin at all (black KT), and a dirt cheap case (literally, a buck plus tax at the dollar store) which is actually just a hard plastic pencil case. Perfect for protecting it from anything but the most severe physical impacts. I wrap it in a little hand towel inside to minimize any rattling around in the case. Zero points for style with this, but it scores way high on protection.
I don't bring my KT out of the house to read while standing in line, etc. so this suits me just fine.
