Which Sony 300 jacket?

suzy · 05-03-2010, 10:46 PM

Hi. I'm looking for a lightweight yet protective case for my Sony pocket reader. I bought the Sony version with the built-in light, but it adds quite a bit of weight to the product...particularly when in my purse. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks - Suzy

Anyone?

If you're throwing it in your purse, I'd have to go with the case logic zipper case.

Borders has it on clearance for 50% off here

When I'm home, I have mine in the leather sony case, but if I leave the house it has to be in the hard shell case.

Other than that, the M-Edge cases look nice, but I have never personally seen them.

I have one of the M-Edge leather cases for my 505. I love it. It feels ... booky. The only problem is that now I need a case case to protect the leather! I stole my netbook's padded sleeve (the netbook has a sturdy case of its own anyway!) and I use that to protect the PRS when I'm putting it and its case into something where it might get damaged.

I'd trust anything from Case Logic. Probably 3/4 of my potentially breakable stuff is in their cases, and I've never had a problem. Something like this case is what you're looking for.

I bought this cheap leather case via ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Leather-Ca...item2eacbe4250

I wasn't expecting much due to the cheap price but I've been using it every day for several months now and am very happy with it.

Suzy, if you are in the USA I am not sure my recommendations are available, however for my 300 I have a leather case from Ultimate Addons (a bit like the Tuff-Luv Leather case on Amazon, with the built in stand, but less than half the price). The built in stand is surprisingly useful - good for resting on my desk at work when reading at lunch-time.

I also have an Ultimate Addons hard case (a bit like the Armor case, but again half the price). The 300 in its leather case fits perfectly in to the hard case for carrying round in my courier bag.

Two cases may seem like overkill, but I killed the screen on my 505 whilst carrying it in my bag, so I prefer over caution to dead screen despair.

churchmouse - is it this one:-

As I'm looking for something to put over the Sony 'book' style cover, so I can pop it in my handbag. I had a BookArmor one for my Elonex and it was great (a little larger than this, I assume, as my Elonex was a 6" reader).

That looks like very much like the one I am using for carrying my 300 around.

I recommend the plain black official Sony 300 cover (without light). It fits like a glove and is sturdy enough to protect the reader during normal use.
