Well it's close to a year that I have had the iLiad and it is time for it to get a little bit more out in the open. Up to now I have been keeping it in a zipping Steno Pad kind of case. There is a sleeve area that you could put things in and the iLiad fit just fine. The case is very well padded. The problem was that you could not access it relatively quickly. You would have to unzip the case, extract the iLiad, turn it on, find a safe location for it, use it then put it back in the case.

I built this. The best thing about this is that the cover will fold behind the back. This make it less cumbersome than having a case that has an open area adjacent to the right or the left of it. I can fold the front cover back and lay the unit down using a minimal amount of space. Holding it and reading it takes less space this way.

All controls & data ports are easily accessed and the stylus is still easy to get to. The only control that would take some getting to is the reset button.

I made it from a leather spiral type binder I got in Office Depot. The iLiad is attached with Velcro. The important part is to place the Velcro on the low points. If you put it on the higher points it becomes a bit too thick.

I had to remove a pocket from the inside of the front cover. That necessitated cutting the white threading off most of the front leather cover. After I removed the pocket I removed the white thread and restitched it for aesthetics.
