I'm already thinking of doing it myself with leather + glue + velcro it is sad that iRex didn't think well about cover when making the device, compare this two 1mm deep holes on DR800 with a large cover connector on PRS500's back; also i doubt there was any technical reasons for not to embed some iron/magnetic stuff on the edge of the case so that covers with magnetic locks would work (again, compare it to PRS500)...
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.
