I's like to second this solution. I prefer a nice soft leather cover to hold in my hand. To protect my Reader from the hazards of life in my briefcase, I put it in its polycarbonate box. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11420

Given the geometry of the 600, it should fit in the same size case my 500 and 505 have used.

You are right, the photos just don't do it justice. You can't see the actual colour in photos. But here are a couple of pics of mine - it arrived today!!

I was going to buy an M-Edge cover for my PRS-300, but never got around to it. This past weekend I had a sudden urge to read outside and I happenened to have a 40% off coupon for Borders, so I went and bought the Sony cover with light. I still have a Book Armor case for a PRS-505 that I accidently broke a while back in a fluke accident , that was the 2nd PRS-505 that I broke

. The Sony cover with the light fits within this case perfectly for carrying in my backpack, or carrying to/from anywhere including when I get up to go from my couch to my bed. Yes, I'm being VERY careful with this reader.

i use the oberon "forrest" cover. the color is a bit darker then in the picture (which is great for me) i just needed to adjust the stripes a bit with a knife for the 505. it protects great, the reader has traveled a lot with me and it is in perfect condition, no scratches on it. and the 4 mm thick leather still smells so nice

I got one of these bundles from Amazon (via eBigvalue), very similar to the M edge executive as far as I can tell from the pictures on the medge site. Plus I got a retractible USB cable, car and AC adapter for less than the medge.

Looks like a good deal. Let us know the quality of the cover.

Looks and feels to be very good. The leather (genuine) is soft, and there is a large pocket on the inside cover and a pen/light holder on the spine.

It looks pretty nice.

I use the standard Sony cover (brown) but cover it with one of these:-

Anne has just started adjusting them for the PRS300 as well so I've bought a second one. I am obsessed with this fabric and have a makeup bag and handbag with it on as well

petercreasey · 05-11-2010, 04:12 PM

It appears that most all of these covers are no longer available for my Sony 505.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

That is a nice cover and not expensive either!

I think I just answered this question, but my answer in this thread no longer points to the right place so here is an updated link.

I've had my 505 in BookArmor since the first day I had it 16 months ago. It provides great protection and easy access for reading.
