Cover for PRS-600

tigriss7 · 10-10-2009, 10:40 PM

I'm getting a PRS-600. I know the previous PRS-505 cases can hold the 600s minding that they aren't configured to fit exactly the layout of the buttons. Amazon is selling the non-specilized leather versions for a discount since the 505 is discontinued. I wouldl like to know what case you have and where I can get one from. I'm particularly interested in the one with the light wedge device. I don't have a Staples, so no clearance for me. Bummer. Thanks for the help.

M-Edge ones are often sold as non-specialised. I have two of them, one that I use with my 505 but became the "fitting" for the 600, and the new one that goes with the 600. I can say they're different, even being of the same line and the same builder, the first being a perfect fit but in green- my 600 is red- while the second, in mocha, could have the button issue you mention.

One solution is to cut a bit of the strap (it's feasible and not too defacing). I just found another solution: I used a bit of the plastic foam the cover comes with, cutting just a 2 cm x 0,5 cm rectangle, and inserted it between the strap and the button, and it works- it cushions the pressure. I hope it will change with time; anyway the plastic foam is not too visible (dark grey on mocha, and there's a light grey microfibre lining inside the cover).

As for the light, I have a clip-on light (which works better on a Reader/liseuse than on a book, it won't go in the way for the page-turning

) and I'm waiting for a Mighty Bright reading light. I'm not really sure about the light wedge- a lot of people complained about it in the 505 forum, and of course there's the issue of the clarity of the 600 screen, so one wouldn't feel so sure to recommend it! (the light-wedge one for the 505 isn't perfectly ok for the 600, also.)

Hello.

I use a M-edge cover for the 700 in the 600, and is perfect for me.

If you want some pictues, I can send them you.

Bye.

I bought one of these, which cost of £12, I think, with my PRS 600 from W.H Smiths as a start. I thought that I would experiment with it and decide what cover I really want/need. As I use it at home almost all the time, so far the 505 cover is fine.

I would also love to see pics of how the 600 looks in a case for the 700. Thanks.

Yes, the 700 case is on sale for $15 now. Even with $20 shipping to Europe, it is cheaper than anything else out there, and they are nice covers (or so I hear).

Sony says the 600 is the following size:

Dimensions (Approx.) : 6.9 x 4.8 x .4 inches (LxWxD) (sorry, no metric)

And the 700 is:
Dimensions (Approx.) : Approx. 5 1/9 x 6 7/9 x 13/32 inches (127.6 x 174.3 x 9.7 mm)
(weird how they reversed height and width and decimal and fractions)

The 700 is 12.8 cm x 17.4 cm.
The 600 is 12.2 cm x 17.5 cm (odd the 600 is taller).

So it looks like they could fit in the same case. More than half a cm in width might be an issue.

donistron, does it stay in Ok? Did you have to modify it any?

Hello.

Here are the promess.

Gracias, Don Triston!

I went ahead and ordered one already, but the pictures are great. The black cover is lovely - too bad they are sold out. I got the brown and tan one.

Yes, thanks, but since my first language is English, MobileRead suits me better. I will take a look to see if there is anything Specific to Spain (places to purchase memory cards, or something like that).

I did a video review of the M-Edge 505 Cover for my Sony 600 on Amazon:

When I bought it, it was down to $14.95 - up higher now ...

Nicely done! Yes, the 700 cover is on sale now, so I got that. I guess they are cleaning out their stock.
