Yes I have,I will get around to doing some more in depth searching(ebay,here,CL etc ).

I am really glad the reader is still working and appears to have no damage from the fall (this time around I did get the extra insurance...unlike with the 505)...but still -I think that's way too much money- I probably would have at least considered it if it had been some sort of premium leather case (I vaguely recall,*almost* purchasing some sort of D&B case for my 505 ..but ultimately chose not to. I am also glad that I remember (before purchasing) that I HAD a 505 case at home to use "in a bind". My main concern is really protecting the device (I did/do like the "magnetic" feature on the oem case for the PRS700)-but I don't want to drop or damage the device because my case is broken/I have a shitty case.

This may be one of the last factors that makes me think twice about buying Sony products in the future....but who knows .....
