I actually got one on Saturday , I saw it on their website and called to make sure they had it. The manager said they've had them since Thursday, I won't be looking to the website for product availability anymore.

I like holding the device too, it's very comfortable for me. The only thing I worry about with the cover is that something in my purse might push against the screen, since the cover is soft and it might get damaged.

Where are you located at? GTA?
Anyone found one of these covers in Calgary?

I called a couple of the Vancouver-area stores on Saturday, and they hadn't appeared yet.

That's good to know, though I think I'm going to just sew up one of my own. The pix from Etsy convinced me to try. Actually, when I called the Chapters stores the people I talked to didn't know what I was talking about.

Hello. I found this one on eBay for my wife (I'm sure it's available in other colors, lol)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=190392467183





It's designed for the "Nook", thus slightly large but very reasonable.

A plastic DVD case is the perfect size. I cut out the thin plastic walls for holding the DVD in and taped some fabric on the inside. Perfect size, protects the KOBO inside the stuff, light plastic. Even fits in the pockets of my jackets.

I also saw a little Outdoor Research bag that was snug but did fit. They have a couple sizes. It's lightweight and would need something to protect the screen like a piece of cardboard or something.

I'd love to see a pic of it in the DVD case.

I use the velvet bag from a Crown Royal Special Reserve, 750ml bottle.

The fit is perfect and the combination of the blue velvet, gold CR , and gold braided cord is priceless. Added bonus: a bottle of good canadian whisky.

I just tried the DVD case idea using an older style DVD holder.

Seems to be a perfect fit

I love it! Confuse people on the subway by reading a DVD. Plus, as an added bonus you can make your own custom covers.

Actually, I found that a DVD case was the perfect size as well but the plastic from the right side (the side that actually holds the DVD) was in the way. By the look of your picture it appears you cut out the left side. Does the "button" that holds the DVD on the right side not push on the screen?

I ended up using an old Daytimer leather case (remember when we actually used paper to keep track of appointments!) for now untill a proper flip case becomes available (also at a reasonable price). I may give the DVD case idea a go now too to see which is better.
