I cut it with scissors below the square hole, lined the reader up with the bottom and measured how much to cut to fit. I wanted to make sure it was snug. Then I cut off the top tab and super glued the top piece back in place. It's held up well. The reader sits flush with the bottom with about a 1/2 inch extra at the top. It's not noticable at all and the reader covers the bracket so you don't even see the cuts.
On the regular cover, I pried up both ends, but them and measured to cut to fit. Then I super glued both ends back in place, so the reader is centered in the cover.
Check out Office Depot, I've seen some 300 covers there recently.
If you're anywhere near Dallas, I saw 2 350 lighted covers at MicroCenter a week ago. They were full price, though.

Thanks, this really give me a clear visual of what need to be done. Yeah, I found 4 available at my local MicroCenter, but again it is $49.99.

My readers will never fall out!

Cody#1, from your description, it must be a beautiful cover.
