If you are getting the 505 , I'd recommend the armor cover for it, since if you are shipping it overseas you might not be covered under warranty. I have dropped the 505 a few times already, on concrete floors and hard floors from 3 feet and the armor case really does protect it. Don't do the DVD tin because there is NO padding and it's like dropping a hand mirror placed in a dvd tin from 3 or 4 feet in air, of course it's gonna crack, but all the padding in addition to hard case and zipped case protects it. If you do search, these ereaders have GLASS screens, so THINK GLASS and dropping a hand mirror from 3 feet and you get the idea. You need padding and hard case , both, and zipper protects from sand, dirt, fluids better than left open so ARMOR CASE IT.
