For flush screen units both ACDream and Fintie make folio style covers that include a raised bezel cover that gives much of the effect of a recessed screen.

As for units with infrared touch screens the last Kindle with that technology I am aware of was the Kindle Touch with a 167 PPI screen resolution. The Sony readers were all IR I believe with a highest resolution of 212 PPI. Based on response to a plastic pen used as a pointer I believe none of the current Kobo readers have IR screens though the Kobo Mini, Aura H2O original and Aura HD 7" apparently did. All also had screen with resolutions of less than 300 PPI.
The Kobo Glo HD had an IR touch screen and was 300dpi.
