So I finally got my "Deluxe" cover (from eReader Outfitters). Here's a quick review:
- The Good: It's big, stiff and thickly padded: It will protect the DR1000 well, as is, in your backpack and probably from the occasional drop (*). The space on top fits either stylus well, and it's easier to get the stylus in and out. There's space for some business cards and some sheets of regular paper. The Logo is on the right side (top)
. This black cover at least looks elegant to me, and the black also brings out the brightness of the screen.
- The Not-So-Good: It's big... seriously (check out the attached picture, compared to the flip-over one) It's not real leather either, as far as I can tell. Since it folds over to the side, you don't get the nice tilt towards you as with the flip-over one. It defeats the purpose of having a slim and light reader.
I'll use it for now, esp in my backpack, because of the added protection. I haven't made up my mind if I prefer it to the flip-over combined with a padded sleeve (great idea btw. any recommendations?) I haven't had any problems with static activating the buttons when closed (as another user mentioned elsewhere)
(*) I won't test that one. Learned the lesson from iRex' PR guy
