Yes I have, and both are a step in the right direction, especially those in the second link. Some look pretty attractive on the outside, but of course the look never changes despite what book you read. I don't like the attachment mechanism, which just feels like the device is temporarily held in place, where it should really be embedded, with only the screen portion of the device showing, not the plastic edges.

I watched a terrible, what I call criminal, video at the first link, where the ereader is held in place, with a sticky patch ... and unbelievably they tell you and show someone pushing on the ereader screen to make sure the back of the device adheres fully to the patch. For that crime of negligence and stupidity alone, I would avoid those covers, as clearly they have no idea. I am gobsmacked and horrified at the notion that many people who see those videos will now think the screens unbreakable ... there goes the idea of me lending mine to anyone.

I go to great lengths to find a tough protective cover, that is also padded, and some idiots tell people it is okay to press hard on an e-ink screen.
