True. Similarly, a preference for using a protective cover does not equate to an inability to simply wrap your reader in a plastic bag. But that doesn't mean it is reasonable to expect someone to do so. They've spent hundreds on a device with similar functionality to one that costs a fraction of the price. It is reasonable that they will wait until an official cover is released. Buying a third party cover is not a reasonable/realistic option for some people.

I also like the case. I've found that getting under the cover with my nail to open it means I can open the case without dislodging the reader from it. When the case is closed, it does provide moderate protection against scratches. But what I like is that when it is open and folded backwards, the fabric lets me sit the reader on my leg without it sliding around.
I'm surprised by how long it has taken them to come out with a replacement. I am doubtful that the bad reviews were enough to make them pull it and sell no case at all for their flagship reader all throughout December and January. Rather, I think it seems more likely that they were getting such an inordinate amount of refunds on the cases that they decided it would make better business sense to sell nothing at all.
