Well, I think the standard Sony case did a good job of protecting my Sony. I dropped the Reader onto a tiled floor a couple of days ago. The impact was hard enough to break the bottom of the plastic clip but the Sony itself was undamaged.

An update: I ripped out the broken plastic clip - it's just held in with two tiny plastic hooks and a smidgeon of glue. I used two small pieces of double sided tape to stick the Sony inside the back of cover. This works well. Maybe Sony over-engineered their cover. A metal version of their cover would be good.
