My "Deluxe Cover" arrived today, with the promised extra stylus as compensation for the delay in shipping. I'm not particularly impressed, however. It looks nice, but it adds considerably to the bulk of the iLiad, and it doesn't fold back as compactly as I'd hoped. The snap closure dangles out into space while you're reading unless you tuck it between the two covers.

As for protection, there's a good bit of padding, and the front cover is fairly stiff. But the iLiad is held in securely only at the bottom--it seems as if the iLiad could easily slip out if you have it upside-down.

It's too bad that iRex didn't make a cover-attachment integral to the case the way Sony did.
