The $9.99 price is still active. Mine arrived yesterday. iRiver Story HD owners considering this should be aware that the power slider switch is blocked and that the lower right strap interferes with (but does not completely block) the SD card slot and the USB port.

Of course, you can remove the cover to get at these, it is up to you whether that is worth the wear and tear and inconvenience. I was able to turn my HD on by plugging in a live USB cable and by sliding the switch with a ruler. Neither of those is particularly convenient.

Other options are to trim the strap and to cut a hole at the switch.

The cover has no means to keep closed during transport, but the light can be rotated to more or less hold it closed.

I plan to leave the cover on until I need to get at something or need the light, and to leave the cover off until I need to protect the screen. The HD is not my primary reader, so that should work out OK for me.
