PRS-650 Tuff-Luv Cases.

ShaneR · 12-28-2010, 07:00 PM

Since the Sony cases seem to be sold out (and I'm impatient), I'm looking at getting this one:

http://www.i-nique.com/detail.asp/cn...=5055205287768

Anyone have experience with this type?

My main concern is if the cover will fold all the way back EASILY for one handed reading.

They have a flip-top model as well, but that one doesn't really interest me.

It looks exactly the type I'm after. Leather and thick (for comfort). Appears better quality than the Sony's as well.

Thanks

I have the eco-nique which is the same style except my outside is made of hemp instead of leather.

The spine is made so it is easily folded back on itself. In order to cleanly fold it back the magnetic/snap catch will be dangling off to the side. I've been using for a week and the only problem reading one handed is the bottom of the case makes it uncomfortable using the page turn buttons. The buttons are still usuable but due to the thickness of the case that covers the bottom bezel, button use is not as comfortable as when the Reader is naked or in a Sony cover.

I may be able to post pictures of mine tonight when I get home.

Thanks, grooks.

I'm about to the pull the trigger.

I can't tell from the images I've seen, but I'm assuming the case allows access to the stylus while reading?

I agree with Grooks. The buttons are a little hard to get to. The stylus is easy to get in and out of its pocket. The front cover is pretty easy to fold back, but the cover is comfortable to hold open in book fashion.

One small thing I noticed and really like is the smell of the leather. I smells just like a baseball glove! Gives me a smile every time I pick it up.

Thanks, Pete.

I just completed my order

If I don't like it, you guys are paying for it

(just in case the smiley doesn't work, that was a poor joke)

The case allows full access to the slider and SD/Pro DUO slots on the top, the stylus on the side and all ports on the bottom.

I just got this case for xmas for my 350 and so far really like it.

At first I thought it was to small for my reader beacause top part covered part of the first sentence. I just started stretching the leather up and now can read it with no problem.

Reading one handed and using the turn buttons isn't the easiest, but swiping is fine.

What I do when the cover is folded all the way back is connect the clasps together (they are magnetic). Makes a handy loop to grab onto with one finger and hold onto the reader.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

I received a notice that mine shipped today, so hopefully I'll be able to add my opinion within the week
