Accessories for Pocketbook 360?

AbbyNormal · 12-06-2009, 07:08 PM

Hi all!

I've put the Pocketbook 360 on my wish list for this Xmas but I can't seem to find any accessories like protective sleeves/pouches/jackets/skins or booklights.

Does anyone know of some generic accessories which will work with the 360?

Thanks!

Aimee

I've been checking various stores neoprene case and so far, I haven't found anything exactly right yet. The best fit so far have been some GPS cases. This Case Logic is too long but it's a pretty nice fit otherwise. The extra pouch would be great for the USB cable. If I find a better price, I may get one until I find something with a better fit.

I'm using a headlamp for night reading and sorely miss the lightwedge that I used on my Sony 505.

The 360 comes with a plastic cover that attaches in back when the reader is in use.

For a pouch/case: my recommendation is to request one from etsy using their alchemy system. I've done the same for the DR800SG (which I may end up getting before the device...)

My etsy alchemy request.

PocketBook is selling a neat Leather pouch in ivory and black. Maybe you could ask Yar to add it to his site!

How do we get him to see this? Is there some sort of HEY YOU LOOK AT THIS THREAD function in the forums?

You could also look at one of these for $20 from Tom Bihn in Seattle:

The kindle sleeve would be overkill.

Kindle sleeve - 10.3" x 7" (260 x 180 mm)
360 device - 5.5” X 4.6” (118 x 140 mm)

I still say if you want a sleeve and don't want to have one custom made, looking at GPS sleeves may do the trick. They are the closest device in size to the 360 that I can think of.

I'm DIYing one and hoping it'll turn out nice...hmmm

I love etsy and have gotten a few things on there. If I were you, find someone who makes something close to and in the same style/look you want and request from them directly. Most would do it I bet--it's business after all. Although this close to Christmas you might have to wait til after when business and personal life slows down!

hahahaha....sorry about that if I was not clear...but yeah, it's super cool!! And the folks at TB are just great. I really would love a version with the PB logo on it!! Plus the cork fabric is real cork and will wear FOREVER plus it's also naturally waterproof.
