Nice design, seems like it would work pretty well. I bought this one http://www.i-nique.com/detail.asp/c=443/sku=5055205257600 for the Cool-er eReader (same machine, basically) and it fits pretty well. I like the flip-up top cover and the flip-out stand. When I read in bed at night, I just set the reader on my chest and I don't have to hold my Kobo while I'm reading. And a really great reading light for this in bed at night is one of those "headband bicycle" LED lights. I've been using one for a couple of months now, about an hour a night, and I'm still on the original set of batteries.

Also, the case slides in and out of the hip pocket of my trousers really easily.

One thing, it's a tad pricey. I think I paid something like $39.95 for it, but construction seems sound, good quality leather and workmanship is good.
