This is a great thread, so I wanted to summarize case options so far mentioned:

SPECIFIC PRODUCTS
* Walmart MP3 Accessory case for about $9 (Nightwing) Pics shown also.
* "Game Boy Advance SP" case at Wal-mart. (scottcstoness)
Slightly sturdier and thicker spine width.
Slayda provides pics of this one later down.
Aprilbeginnings bought one at Target for $20
Note: WilliamG tried out one of these and it was slightly too small, so check the exact dimensions or bring your Reader along. Sounds like it may only fit without the cover.

IDEAS
* $5 plastic padded pistol case (exvaxman)
* www.otterbox.com (bostonte) but right size not found yet
* Patent leather case for cosmetics (Aprilbeginnings)
* Hollowed out book (Natch)
* Aluminum carrying case for an iPod (Yvanleterrible) but right size not found yet
* Neoprene cases (Aprilbeginnings) No specific one mentioned, but I'm sure it's listed somewhere else in the forums
* For adding sturdiness, 1/8" and thinner birch plywood sold in craft supply houses can be cut with Xacto knives (Yvanleterrible)

I'm hoping that over time we happen upon some more "generic" cases like the Walmart ones. Might be a great solution for protection.
