JSWolf's comments on covers did get me to buy a cheap sleep cover from ebay, but I also put my Aura in my front pocket. When I am traveling for work I like to go to dinner and read. If I set the Aura down in the car, it is most like going to be there when I get into the restaurant... So a loose front pocket works. I also feel a little odd walking into a restaurant with an ereader in my hand, and a really big ereader would be even more obvious.

The back seat pocket of an airplane is really a worse risk for me. 2 times I have left ereaders there. One was retrieved before the plane left the gate, one got an extended tour and some frequent flyer miles before it found a way home a week or so later (thanks United!) My loose front pocket or backpack are much safer in light of my poor short term memory.
