Sorry, but I just found the leather case vastly overpriced. I am using a very nice padded leather case made to hold an A4 notepad, made by Franklin Covey, and sold at Office Depot for $10. I am thinking of affixing the DR1000 to it using sefl adhesive velcro pads, as my only complaint is that without the corner straps, the reader slides to the bottom when I have it open in my lap. Other than that, it's pretty great.

I have not yet started taking the DR to the gym, and for that the flip top might work better, but a rubber "skin" with a lanyard would be better. I like the lightness and flexability of the DR, I don't really want a cover for normal use. For transport, the $20 case works great.

eReaderOutfitters had a link for an economical neoprene case that is about the right size.
