Recommend me a case/cover - Page 2

Hi- also from Italy. I would have wanted a Book Armour one, but it was too costly, with shipping over the pond (well, sometimes it's hard to have any shipping to here at all!); so I did a bit of bricolage and bought a Bible cover, lined the inside with foam rubber and hard plastic. Perfect! Most of the material I used comes out of eBay and it's really nice, and it was overall 12-euro-ish.

I also have pics somewhere, if anyone would like to see it.

Okay, here we go...

I placed the standard smallest Troika scissors from IKEA to add proportion. The lighter green is foam rubber, the darker is plastic. Until now, it worked pretty well

*crossfingers* but as for the Cybook, I wouldn't build the protection this way, because the "original" cover doesn't stick that much to the device (in fact mine did fall from the cover, I sent an e-mail to Bookeen but, erm, I know it might take some eons for them to reply

). In fact, my re-elaboration of that cover was tape! </ends OT>
