Received both the eMotion Book Jacket and Sleeve Jacket from M-edge couple days ago. The Book Jacket appears to provide good protection, but also adds "bulk" to the otherwise sleek design of the iLiad. If the Book Jacket is about protection, then the Sleeve is about fit--as in, it's been difficult to get it to fit just right, lining up the printed overlay with the device buttons is tricky. The one thing that struck me early was the lack of access to the SD/CF slots. You have to remove the iLiad from the Sleeve to use those slots which I consider really inconvenient. Still, it is lightweight and provides some protection against scuffs, scrapes, and scratches without the bulk.
