It really does. The T1 is still my favourite reading device, but I was looking at my husband reading the 505 last night and thought "wow, the 505 really was built like a tank". I do appreciate the weight loss and added WiFi of the T1, but I would prefer a metal case, like before.

Anyway, don't know if their name is truly representative, but if "PC World" - or, presumably, any office/computer-type big store - is in yo neck of the woods, they do handy little wallets, very reasonably priced, exactly the right size for a T1, very slim yet good protection, and side pocket for notes/stylussss etc...
Purely for lugging and slinging around though, not a "book" type one.
Incidentally, if you want to beef-up any cover's protection, a piece of plastic - like the side of a 5L wash-up/orange juice/etc.. container is ideal - cut to size and slid in, on at least the screen side, but can be both, works wonders, and has helped mine survive a very nasty incident !

Great tip, thanks!
