I agree, though the lip needs rounded. However, it's due to how the halves connect. Four screws and the top wrapping at button side would be better than the clip together design that results in an edge at the buttons.

No, the Mobius substrate was so as to have a lighter chassis on larger than 7″ screens. It's likely got lower production yield and lower life. It won't help if you walk into a bollard or drop a can of beans on it (or mug etc). It was an interesting idea, but it's not flexible enough for a folding or roll up screen, so it seems almost abandoned by Eink Corp.

I only use a sleep cover on ones taken out of the house or maybe in storage.

Edit:
I've a calculator with a slide on cover that can slide on in reverse. Half the weight of a folding sleep cover. Another calculator has a double hinge on the front cover making it easier to open and fold underneath. Did the Sony PRS-350 have a single panel cover option? I have the PRS-350 but I've never even seen a photo of the cover.
