This arrived earlier today (very quickly) and I've spent a few hours using it while reading in the garden. Just in case anyone else might be interested in this case (which is available on ebay uk) here's my thoughts. Please bear in mind that I tend to be over-critical.

Although it's very large - just a bit bigger than A5 - the little 'hooks' which hold the reader are set well in from the edges, so that getting my PW2 in was a bit of a struggle; but it did go in. I expect that the elastic which holds the plastic hooks will loosen in time.
The quality of the stitching isn't brilliant; but this was only £5, so I'm not complaining much about that.
When the PW is put in 'upside down' so that the landscape mode works, closing the cover won't put the PW to sleep. I have to remember to press the button.
The little tab which holds the case closed sticks up when the reader is standing; this is distracting especially because my case is bright pink. I've solved this by use of a small blob of Blu Tack.
This case is very good value for money, won't be lost easily because of its size and colour, and does the job.

Thanks for pointing it out.
However, if you're in the US, take a look at the other case Deskisamess mentioned:

I tried re-posting the link but the interwebs couldn't find it. Please look at post 16 in this thread for the link.
