You would think for the amount of money you pay for the device they could throw a nice cover in there like the Sony Reader but instead you get a murse (man-purse) which is guaranteed to get you pants where-ever you live, its like buying a Bentley and not getting air conditioning.
I opted out of the extra $70 for a "real" cover and just use the bag they gave minus the murse straps, those I use to fight off evildoers like Indiana Jones during my train ride if anyone gets to close to my reader.
