i picked up an ex-point brown leather hard case from boarders just before they closed. i snagged it for $8 if memory serves me. i do believe they were charging around $40 for it. even at that price it is worth every penny. its extremely comfortable to hold, has a soft backing for the kobo, and extra pockets in the front for the occasional business card or grocery list. the kobo is secured via 4 elastic things, which hold it very well.
i wish i could provide more information for you but i no longer have the bag it came in and the case does not have any more information printed on it.
it is very similar to
THIS case.
