PRS-505 covers incompatible with PRS-700?
I was reading Mike Cane's Part 2 of the PRS-700

It wasn't clear to me that the PRS-700 was smaller.
My mistake. |

after looking at the pictures in this thread, i'm trying to see how the prs-700 is smaller than the 505. the sony style website also shows the same dimensions for the 505 and 700. would anyone be willing to try a 505 cover on a 700? |

My impression was that the 700 is slightly bigger than the 505, wider by a finger or so and a bit thicker. When I get next to Borders or Target I will compare my 700 with a display 505

The 700 is slightly bigger. You can get a 500/505 cover onto a 700 but then the 700 sticks out a bit from the cover. Maybe 5-8mm. I didn't measure but my other half
has both a 505 and 700 right now and tried the cover from the 505 on the 700. |

Liviu_5 and gv3, thank you both for the answers, that helped a lot.
I was especially confused why the sony store listed the same dimensions for both thr 505 and 700, yet said they were approximate. This clears everything up nicely. |
