The mounting holes on the DR800 seem to work just fine with iRex's cover. I haven't had any problems with it not being secure enough. Functionally, the iRex leather cover works very well. The two issues with it are the price and color options.
I'm not sure why M-Edge opted to design their cover to use straps instead of the same pin-mount system that the DR800 already has.
