But you're right of course, most important is protection. But on the other hand, Sony can do that with very nice covers.
I guess, over all my expectations towards iRex simply have been too high. In my opinion, iRex 800 (by far) is the "weakest" of the 3 iRex readers, although being the most recent. And with this kind of disappointment, the cover and other details of course become even more obvious.

It's interesting how different people can have different perspectives on the same products. I personally feel the 800 is the best device iRex has produced and I've used both the iLiad and the 1000. I'm not arguing with your viewpoint at all. If we all liked the same thing and had the exact same requirements it would get rather boring
For me, the optimal device is one that just "gets out of the way" of the reading experience. Minimal design coupled with a good size screen is my ideal. The 800 fits that perfectly. I do want some additional features like zoom, annotations, etc. but iRex indicates those are coming. The biggest gap for me is the dictionary and I certainly hope that is coming in a future software release since it was part of the original manual and specs.
