How much for the White Luxury Cover
I failed to buy the cover before the Irex store closed. So now I have located a 3rd party store which is selling the "white luxury cover". Just a question to all of you who have bought the cover from the Irex store, how much was it? Euro 49.95?

The only cover I have seen available recently is from '8musicbox' from Shanghai on eBay selling tons of "Leather case for IREX DR800 DR800SG DR 800 eBook Reader".. its a black leather cover.. actually looks fairly good.. I'm flirting with getting it myself.. $50 with free shipping.

Not bad, but so big. The ideal cover for me should be as small as possible, to keep the device portable. The Irex cover fits just right and also uses the pinholes. I found a seller in the UK, but I think he charges more than Irex was previously selling it for, that is why I was checking.

I can confirm €49,95. Initially I thought it was quite expensive, but it's worth it! It not only protects the reader but also improves ergonomics! I rather read with the leather case then without, it give more options to get e good grip.

That sounds right. Yes, it was expensive, but functionally it works very well.

Thanks to everybody for you help! Well, I would rather pay a little more and have something that fits just right, rather than buy a gigantic monster of a cover and then lug around something the size of the DR1000.

So did you end up ordering that "white luxury cover" one you found? Does this store have any other DR800 items? |

They say they get some within a few weeks. Yes, you can check them out totalreaders.com and Iliadreader.com. Totalreaders does not ship outside Europe and I want VAT back.

www.iliadreader.co.uk. As mentioned, totalereaders are a little cheaper but have stated they ship to EU only. And Iliadreader post a lower shipping cost, so it comes out to be the same total cost in the end. |

I never really cared for styling of the Luxury White cover.. It's too bad none of the 3rd party case makers took advantage of the retention pins. I have been using an M-Edge Latitude jacket which I like except for the tabs which hold the corners of the reader in the jacket. The leather one on eBay seems to enclose all the edges.. I would much rather have a cover with the pins but with IREX’s current status it seems like I might be out of luck.
