What screen protector do you use? - Page 2

I am rather amused by the not putting your ereader in it's sleeve vs. failing to close the cover whether a sleep cover or not discussion.

I would suspect that anyone capable of posting on these forums would not need to have those options pointed out.

I use some protection like the original Kobo sleepcover but from another brand.

It's more to protect it from dust than a fall. It gets dusty in the room (never understood why it gets so dusty, anyway...).
If it wasn't necessary, I wouldn't have put it. It bothers me a bit when reading.

I always close the cover when I am done reading. After reading, with a sleeve, I can see the Reader being put down more often without going back in the sleeve then the cover not being closed.

Hypothesization, your honour! No facts have been supplied to support that contention! The witness' statement should be stricken from the record. Perhaps a couple of stripes from the cat to remind 'im that his opinions are not facts.

I do admit I put my ereader down (or rather, on the desk) quite often without a sleeve, if I know I'm going to continue reading soon. And I have three cats. They never climb or jump on that desk, though. And if I know I'm not going to read again any time soon, I'll put the ereader away in its sleeve.

A bit different from Jon's statement that he always closes the cover when he is done reading. Personally, I tend to close the sleep cover when I pause reading. For instance, I'll read while watching a sports event since there are so many commercial breaks and other breaks in the action so I can easily fit in quite a few minutes of reading while not missing a second of the action.
