I see.
Then the plastic clips would not be a problem for me at all, because I never take the reader our of its cover. Providing I can re-charge it, otherwise I would not consider the cover at all if I had to remove the reader from its cover every time I want to re-charge it.

However, the internal pockets for SD card etc., have always been absolutely useless in my opinion because they would present a risk for damaging a screen. Even in their default, i.e., empty state, they bulge and I am not happy with having anything on the inside of the cover.

Well I tried the cover I purchased and I am not happy with it. The inside of the front cover has those stupid SD card holds which touch the screen. So I am back to square one now.

There is a cheap and cheerful cover with clasp, with no inside cover SD holders that I will purchase and use until these covers become available.

Which cover did you purchase again?

A lot has happened in the past 24 hours and I can't recall whether you mentioned which case you happened to buy on this particular thread.

This is the one. I am actually tempted to cut the leather flap and card holders away.

I won't comment or SD card slots and the flap.

It took five minutes with a fresh No.23 scalpel blade, steel rule and protective plastic sheet underneath to remove the offending flap/SD holders. Cover works a charm and closes much better without touching the screen.

It will do until these covers become available

I got the Noreve cover for my 650 last week and I am very happy with it. I got it for less than 45,- € (incl. shipping and VAT) and while that isn't exactly cheap I do consider it as a fair price.
The reader is held very tight in the cover and it is quite well protected, yet everything is accessible and the reader is still well visible. I do not see why I should spend a substantial amount of money to buy a sleek and attractive gadget, just to entomb it in a bulky and coarse case.
The leather is very soft and the case is beautifully made. Yes, I do expect it to suffer somewhat in daily use, but I don't mind if something I use every day does not remain in pristine condition.

Only 45€? What did you do? They are a lot more on their website. If there is anyone to sleep with or to bribe I wanna know as I find the platinum case for my silver 650 very tempting.

Amazon.de sells them at that price. I didn't even shop around to see if I might get it cheaper anywhere else. They only offer the black version, though - which was fine with me as it fits very well with my silver 650. Perhaps they will consider to expand the selection if they see your enticing offer.

There's also coupon codes available for their website giving from between 10-15% discount and sometimes free shipping.

These covers looks like an upgrade from the Noreve though

Thats a good system with 3 firm and one elastic straps

For me the two most important things not to be covered is the power on/off, and usb charger.
Not sure if anyone else here can add to that?

Not a problem. Just let me know if/when you order one, and I'll include some velcro (unless you've already got some)

Definitely pipedream. However, if you have a lighting solution that you want to make sure will work, you can send it to me and I'll modify the case appropriately.

Hope you got the metal in the cover to work though, would be really nice to get the cover to close, rather than flap around

Check this baby out:
http://www.wellpromo.com/Wholesale/B...ark-140425.htm

If this is real and available, wouldn't that be awesome to work with? Make it a pullout flexible light from behind the ereader? What do you think?

EDIT: Incorporating the M-Edge Illuminator Touch light could also be an option (as tightly as possible, to save space)
