I just realized I should have stated "other than Oberon in the thread title." Those Oberon journals are lovely, it a bit pricier.

So my 350 is the only reader I've ever owned that had an actual ereader sleeve(because it came free with the reader). I guess I'm too cheap to buy and too lazy to make from scratch.

My first one was from some random old pink plastic journal, but then I found a Markings by C. R. Gibson journal from Walgreens that was black with a nice flowery relief on the front and a nice pricetag of $8.49 and it fit the Nook Color and the Sony 950 perfectly, Yay! So I carried my T1 to work yesterday without a case and spent the whole time worrying that it would get injured in my purse (darn it). I had no idea that Staples had such a large journal section. They have A LOT and they seem to come in various sizes and all cost less than $9.99. I ended up picking up a nice aqua colored journal with the word “Dream” written on it and a blue elastic band to keep it closed. It holds the reader pretty securely right now, but then, I haven’t removed the journal pages yet. That project it waiting for tonight. In the meantime, the journal is pictured below. I’ll have to take pics of the black journal too.

So, here’s my main question. Does anyone else use the Markings by C.R. Gibson journals to protect their e-reader?
