So what do people think about the cover that ships with the device? I received mine a few days ago.

Previously, I had been using the device without the cover, instead storing it in a BOOX MAX case designed for the previous DPT-S1.

I found that the device + zip-up case method is actually pretty convenient. Naked when in use, and zipped up when traveling.

Now, I've been using the Sony cover with the device, but I find it awkward. It makes the device heavier, obviously.

But it also increases the footprint. The DPT-RP1 can fit in the paper tray of a printer (it is digital paper, after all.)

Now, it can't make as tight a fit, cannot fit in with the rest of the actual paper.

Plus, the front cover likes to take up space on a desk, so I have to fold it behind the RP1. It also stains easily from any common greases (the RP1 doesn't).

It also feels flimsy.

So I'm thinking of reverting back to the naked RP1 + zip-up case. Your experience may differ. I just hope that the adhesive stands the test of time if I remove the device from the cover.
