I'm just going by this info:

It's too early to tell how strong the dr800 frame is (anyone care for a tear-down so we can see the internal structure?). I do wish they had put the cover notches on the right side of the device as well for covers to be attached on that side, but I suppose that goes against how non-asian books are opened. I'm not sure if the iliad's flip-over-the-top cover is a better design... certainly makes it more right hand / left hand agnostic, and easier to hold and use with one hand, but goes away from being book-like in aesthetics.
I looked at the prs-900 cover and it looks nice. I like the little details like the indention in the cover over the physical buttons and the magnets that keep the cover closed over the metal front frame of the device. I wonder if the dr800sg's inside frame structure has room for sneaking in some metal to attract to cover magnets. I would also be curious if a stylus slot can be made. I guess I will have to wait for someone to drop their dr800 and have irex refuse warranty service before we will get a good look inside...
