Need opinions on the tri-fold cover for Sony Reader (505)
EDIT: Sorry. I should have searched better. I found a post with a detailed description, pictures, etc.
Apologies for taking space/time... Last edited by ozan; 03-20-2009 at 08:07 PM. |

The *only* "negative" is that I'd bought a Book Armour zippered cover for when I travel, and the tri-fold, being a tad longer than the original cover, does not fit inside the Book Armour. Small price to pay, since I only used the Armour when I flew. Sayhello |

I wonder if it will fit the PRS-700, since it is only slightly bigger? There are still no accessories available besides the book Armour.

On the box it says: 5 1/8 x 6 7/8 x 13/32 The height and width seem correct, but I don't understand the '13/32' depth! Do you? I measured it myself, and came up with 3/8 th of an inch, is that the same? (9mm, so one could say 1 cm) P.S. How do you read with the tri-fold cover on? Can it be folded back on 2 folds, or is the third fold, folded inwards? You couldn't perhaps post a photo, could you? Last edited by dragonbone; 03-23-2009 at 08:32 PM. |

I think the 700 is wider than the 505, and there seems to be a little extra space in the fold. According to what I can make out in the pics. |

When folded up, the tri-fold is 4 7/8" wide on the inside, so it appears to be too narrow for the 700. It's 3/8" deep, and 6 7/8" between the hinges (tall). So the dimensions are good except for the width.
Sorry 'bout that... Sayhello Oh, and I read with the "extra" right-sided flap tucked behind the reader. Works really well. I'll post a pic if you still want/need one! Last edited by sayhello; 03-23-2009 at 11:21 PM. |

Pretty close, in that 3/8 == 6/16 == 12/32. In metric, 1" = 2.54 cm, so 13/32 of an inch = 1.03 cm
