As I noted Yesterday (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=192) I have one of these sleeves and am quite happy with it. I got the one sized for the Kindle Touch but it fits my K4NT and my T1 just fine (only one at a time ) It won't offer much "smash" protection as it is just Leather with a felt type lining, but for scratch protection when travelling it is just what I need.

How did I miss that?!? This one seems like it might look better and better, the older it gets. Do you think that, as it gets "broken in," it will look more and more like an actual manila envelope? I'm thinking about getting my husband a reader for Valentine's Day or Father's Day, and I think he would like that sleeve.

Are marsupiums the same as marsupials? Kangaroos, etc?

TBH it would be better to have a separate thread for sleeves/pouches, which might avoid these little case style wars.

I'm sure someone would find something controversial in that

I use a thin fabric sleeve, which I bought from etsy, inserted in the Incipio Sport Zip Case only upside down so I only have to unzip the bottom of the case to slide my reader in and out. The case also holds my USB cord, charger, microfiber cloth, and clip-on light. I used this for my KK and still use it for my T1.

A marsupium is what the little guy's head is sticking out of.

I don't mind the "one stop for all covers" thread. It has advantages too, like convincing sleeve proponents to better protect thier T1.

But seriously, I've seen some really nice sleeves too and I especially respect those who construct thier own.

Just returned Sony case with light after using it for a month.

I really didn't like the plastic feel of this case and holding the case has always been akward for me.

Also light feature was nice to have but realized that I don't really need it.

Gotta look for more comfortable and less expensive case now.

I mostly use cases with my devices, but the slip-on covers have a really nice advantage in that they can be reused with more than one device, which is not often the case with cases. I would love to pick up a case with some extra padding of some sort on the front to cover the screen.

hi!
I have just made a new case for my sony. I bought a nice agenda for 6 euros, removed everything inside it and I placed 4 pieces of velcro behind the reader and the agenda. I didn't want elastic or laces.

Here are some pics:

Wow! Looks nice enough, but all that sticky stuff on the bottom of the T1 scares me!

I did someting similar here: www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=161523

But I had my choice of scotch tape. Those velcro thingies are often made to STICK, permanently!

well, I used bostik glue to attach velcro on the reader and on the case. The reader is very stable, and it's quite easy to remove from the case...
but yeah, removing the velcro pieces would be very difficult i think (maybe with some solvents), but I don't plan to remove them in the future. However, I think they make the reader surface more "soft" and comfortable when used on a surface, so they're not bad at all :P

I used velcro on the back of my Jetbook Lite to hook it into a homemade case. When I peeled it off, it came off with no problems, no sticky residue, nothing. I used self stick velcro that I bought at Lowes Home Improvment, if that makes a difference.

At this point I love my standard Sony case (had it for 3 months now). It really keeps the device really light and does not add any bulk to it. I don't want to sacrifice that at this point.

That being said for me I think a perfect combo would be clip on light that fits with the T1 in the standard case for the occasions where I do need it. For now I switch to my LCD tablet on the evening commute but would be nice to have a good clip on light so I can "retire" my tablet for ebooks.

My husband uses this light:

http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/ereadi...m_page:richrel

It's the best clip on light I've seen so far; it lights up the screen well but it's not too bright, and it is very light. It is also very easy to adjust. The batteries are relatively expensive, though.

Here is a hemp cover for the T1 from Tuff-Luv. I think it's a good leather alternative.
