I just picked up my first eReader, a Kobo Mini, from the black Friday $49 sale. Loving the experience so far! But I am concerned about damaging the device by porting it around without a cover. As I understand, there are no covers for the mini available yet? (wonder why?). Has anyone got a useful DIY solution? Or any idea when covers will be released?

And a related query: in general, how fragile is the screen and how prone is it to damage? Unfortunately, the first mini I bought had a spot of "stuck eInk" (like a dead pixel, but larger) and so I exchanged for a new one. This has me worried that the screen could easily be permanently damaged.
