I have a red T1 in my home now (it will be passed on to someon else after I have played with it - oops, I mean
evaluated it) and it's in a white standard cover. Stunning!! I don't like the thought of ruining the great look of the red device with straps, and the plastic frame hold the reader REALLY securely (it's actually rather hard to get out of the case).
(Not sure how the white cover will look after some time, tucked in and out of handbags and what have you.)
Anyway, contrast is definitely a nice way to go!! And black/white is one of my favourite combinations! (Hence the dog!

)
