This works really well - you get the ergonomics the designers intended, yet you have the protection the device needs when being carried around.

But without a proper cover, the Opus is at more risk of damage if you drop it. That is why we have the covers. I have a 505 and I find the cover actually helps me hold it one handed when I read. I have dropped my 505 and the the cover has protected it. I would not want any eink device with a glass screen that does not have a cover. The risk of damage is too great. This is a major issue (IMHO) and should be address ASAP. I don't think any company selling eink readers now should sell without a cover. A sleeve might be ok for carrying it around, but since you have to take the reader out of the sleeve, it's just a no go and a really bad idea.
