Actually, before I got the cover for my PDA, it only had a sleeve. (ok, it didn't have anything, but I had the sleeve from my old PDA, which is the same size). And I commuted daily, in a very busy train. And I always read during the commute. (falling wasn't an issue, as there was no room).

And: What to do with the sleeve, while reading? When reading on a train for example, I only have to remember, not to forget my reader in the train. With a Sleeve, I already have 2 parts to remember. And I need to lay down my sleeve "somewhere in the dirt", whereas I'd hold a cover in my hands...
I hope, there will be 3rd party cover for Opus asap.

Hmm, my PDA can't slip out of the sleeve. It has a "lock" to close the top. Easily to open with one hand, but it won't open by itself (not even if you turn it upside down with the PDA in it). And I generally put that sleeve in my pocket or held it underneath my PDA. And the rigidity is the same.
Personally, I wouldn't mind a sleeve instead of a cover. Right now, I remove my JE100 (which I use primarily now) from its cover, as I have the same problem as reading with a book: when I turn around in bed, I have to deal with that flap as it can't be flipped back.
