Honestly as your first post mentions, it sounds like a good idea specifically because of sleep screens and some people liking to see the book cover screen while the device is asleep. I'm surprised no one's done it yet.

Probably not too difficult to do as a "DIY" project. Buy a cheap third-party cover, cut out the appropriate-sized rectangle from the front with a craft-knife, and glue in a rectangle of clear polycarbonate (that's the stuff that the outer screens of most eInk devices are made from - it's transparent and scratch-resistant). Shouldn't take more than a few minutes to do.
This company, which was the result of a search for "polycarbonate sheet", will sell you a 3" x 4" piece of 2mm thick polycarbonate for £1. I'm sure there are lots of other suppliers.
