Either of these cases offer far more protection (real padding!) than any leather case. Of course they don't have the same class either, but it is all about priorities. |
I took a look at those as well (and the M-Edge ones in the same style). I'm mostly worried about pressure on the screen, and I don't really think that a padded cover is the best solution - both those covers you mention looked too soft.
I plan to buy a silicone skin for use at home. I have one for the Sony and it gives a nice grip and doesn't add much weight, I just want it protected while in a bag or purse.
I know the M-Edge leather covers are quite sturdy and the front flap is quite stiff, but they get so expensive once the postal service and the tax people have gotten their shares - I can't buy them through Amazon.
