In praise of the BOOK ARMOR cover
I carefully set my 505 down on the narrow ledge next to the banister in my 1904 office building, and within 10 seconds saw it fall at least four feet onto the hard marble stairs.
Oh, no! The corner of the case met the floor...then the whole thing bounced a few inches, did an elegant flip in mid-air, and hit another corner...then it slammed face down onto the marble stairs, rather like a figure skater missing a triple axel. Heart pounding, I unzipped the Book Armor case, flipped open the cover, slid the Power switch...and it was fine. Whew! Book Armor: the best $20 I've ever spent. Thanks for listening to my little story. |

I agree, though. Book Armor is great. Wish my non-original covers fit in it... Sayhello |

Excuse? I don't need no stinking excuse! (this obscure joke brought to you by The Wild Bunch) I was all set to pick up a shiny new red 6-0-0 when I saw the news about the big DE model...now I have a tough decision to make. Heck, maybe I'll get both and call them work expenses. Last edited by doreenjoy; 08-25-2009 at 10:28 PM. |

So, will the m-edge, book armor covers that fit the 505 fit the new 600?
