Siwickimom · 07-19-2009, 11:57 AM

My husband got a new laptop for his birthday and Dell was running a deal on the Sangria red 505 of $259-$30 promo discount - 7% Employee Purchase Program Discount - 3% for using our Dell account w/ no interest till 2010. Plus we got free shipping. So it came to $206 plus tax. The silver was sold out and the Blue wasn't on sale, so Sangria Red it is.

Had I gotten silver or even dark blue, I'd have gone for a fuschia or purple M-Edge case. I like girly. I was all set to get a Kindle and haven't really done a lot of research yet on accessories for the Sony. What would you all recommend? I am a Mom on the go, will be carrying it in my giant Mom purse quite a bit in order to read during baseball/gymnastics/ballet/doc appts/ etc. I have a 3 year old and I need something that will at least offer some protection should she get a hold of it. Small hands with some joint troubles and don't want anything to make it really heavy or bulky, and obviously would like room for SD cards, etc.

I did search on here but there seems to be so many different options and searching 'sangria' only turned up one entry that had to do with skins and not cases. What would YOU pick if you had a Sangria Red reader and liked to girly things up?

Also, booklights. I have a Mighty Brite Xtra Flex 2 that I use for regular ink reading which I love but is there something better for the 505? Light Wedge?

Anything else a must have?

Thanks in advance! I'm really geeked. Only bad thing is that delivery isn't scheduled till August 3rd

. At least I have plenty of time to pick out accessories and download books, lol.
