PRS-350 PRS350 - my really cheap cover

gramms · 06-12-2011, 09:52 AM

Hi folks,

I love my bargain PRS350, and am a klutz. I wanted to protect it, but didn't want to spend $30-$50

My solution:
A silicone cover from Amazon - Sony Reader Pocket Edition (PRS-350) Silicone Skin Case - Clear Waves (Free HandHelditems Sketch Universal Stylus Pen) at $7.99 (plus shipping of course)

A 5"x7" side-opening photo album from Goodwill for $1. Two sturdy rubber bands from a bunch of broccoli.

Rip out the plastic picture inserts in the photo album. Fasten the readerto the back cover of the album with the 2 rubber bands. The silicone cover provides enough friction to keep the reader from sliding out.

Voila! A cover that not only protects your reader but also provides a perfect disguise when closed, so less likely to be 'borrowed'.

Hey there gramms...very well done. That cover I guessing is pretty rigid on both sides and will do a very nice job protecting your Sony.

Welcome to MR!

PS: This is exactly the kinda thing I am hoping might catch on here at MR with this thread:

Wouldn't it be kinda cool to see other people's gear/accessories? Especially also people's creative sides, as gramms has shared?
