What kind of covers do you use? - Page 2

doreenjoy · 03-14-2010, 01:16 AM

I like the Sony case that came with the 600. When I have to toss the reader into a bag, I zip the whole thing (Sony case and reader) into a Case Logic hard sided case.

You had a cover coming with your reader?!? Bummer, here, they do not even sell bundles in store. I had to buy mine for another 34 Euros (about 10% of the devices price).

I have this cover for my 505 and it has a great balance of protection for the device while not making it too bulky nor making it less comfortable to read.

I got my self a sony premium cover which was quite good, apart from the way it clipped in with the plasticy spine.

I 'upgraded' to a oberon design tree of life cover in brown and am now much happier. Its a bit bulky but I feel reassured that the reader is well protected. the cover is quite thick but also flexible at the spine where it counts.

I have the Sony cover with the light. I'm on the second one, but I find the light a priceless tool when one is needed. I travel/fly a lot. I use the heck out of mine.

I've had my 505 in BookArmor since the first day I had it 14 months ago. It provides great protection and easy access for reading.

I'm a tight-fisted bugger - I've had an A5 size zip-up leatherette notebook with blotter paper and a handy pocket inside ("What's botter paper?" I hear you ask -- go ask your grandparents). The fit isn't exact and it certainly isn't stylie but it holds my K2 and a set of folding headphones so it works for me.

I tried some DIY covers, but I finally reverted to the original foam sleeve. I found that covers added bulk to the Reader, making it less confortable to hold, and I love the touch of my PRS-600 too!

I also found that I can use the sleeve as a nonslip surface for the Reader if it is leaning against a wall or heavy object on a table, for a makeshift reading stand. I can even roll it up to tilt the Rader, if I don't want it to lay flat on the table.

That said, the Tuff-Luv looks pretty cool and handy.

I have both the M-Edge Executive and Platform covers for my Sony... they're both good sturdy covers, but because of how I hold my reader (on the side, one handed), I prefer the Platform. The strap on the Executive ends up irritating me, as it's right where I hold the reader. I'd recommend either of them.

It was because of the strap that I went with the Go jacket. No strap to get in the way and no pockets that I would never use.

Just received my Oberon Design this morning, Avenue of Trees in taupe, and it is really lovely. I think it is elegant and understated, some of the designs might seem a bit 'busy' but there are others which are less so and the quality is wonderful.

Really good leather and high grade embossing. It feels very robust and it'll last for ages so if it seems a bit expensive, you're good to go for years.

(Just don't order from Belgium!! Customs charged me 50% import - 'pay it or don't get your parcel' attitude.)

Being a cheapskate, i bought an appropriately sized hardcover book from goodwill for a buck, cut out the pages with a razor blade, and used 4 dabs of hot glue to mount my prs-600 inside. It works great, and i kind of like carrying around / opening / holding an actual book.

Almas · 03-29-2010, 01:19 AM

Am waiting on an Oberson Roof Of Heaven cover. I love their designs and their workmanship. Hopefully it'll arrive here in the next few days!

Pangolin · 03-29-2010, 01:15 PM

Cool Almas, I have no doubt that you'll love it. I echo what others are saying, photos don't do the covers justice - enjoy

I love this one

. I thought about that, too, allthough I dislike the idea of hotglue (I would rather try to replace the paper by some kind of wood or so and just rout it oug). But I was too lazy to actually go get a book, diy the cover, etc.
So I just bought the sony cover instead. I love that you can totally bend the front cover to the back which would not be possible with a "hard cover-book"-cover. But, nevertheless
