That would depend on the current battery life. Most of the ereaders I've had could easily sacrifice some battery life.

I don't believe that "the audio jack going" means it is too thin. Didn't the original Kindles have audio Jack's and now they don't; I don't recall many complaints about Kindles being too thin when the audio jack went away.

I like the size of the original H2O because it's not too thin. That's one reason for a case is if the device is too thin, the case ads some bulk.
Sounds like your H2O is too thick with a case?

As has been mentioned before, you can always make a "too thin" ereader thicker by adding stuff, but you can't make a too thick e-reader thinner by taking stuff away (the exception being maybe some later Sonys?).
