Hi,

I just bought a Reader 505 in Germany and am thinking about giving it some protection.
The Sony Case with Light that runs a whopping 49€ looks nice, would be cool but does not really add any protection in my opinion.
I use a Medge case for my iLiad (I think they called it the book jacket but I don't think they have it anymore) and that really protects the device, however, the Medge Sony Reader cases don't look that interesting in my opinion.

Maybe I'll try and do my own...my idea would be:

Neroprene outer material
Padding on the inside and plenty of extra material around the edges
Carbon fibre plates for front and back stiffening
Magnetic clip for holding it closed
