WTB PRS 650 Sony cover

drew2720 · 04-22-2011, 07:10 PM

Does any one know where I can get a Sony cover for my PRS 650? Will Sony be selling them again? I did notice a few on ebay that are really going through the roof price wise. Thank you!

I don't know what "WTB" stands for, but I bought mine from Tuff-Luv via Amazon (I'm in the US).

Also, check out the Leather Style Case - Sony Reader Touch PRS-650. It uses the same hinge type as the official cover.

That's nice and it's the first 3rd party cover I've seen that uses the Sony method of attaching the reader

Thank you very much Polly! I will check it out.

I've got a sony lighted cover for the 650. I bought it with a 650 I returned because of technical issues, then bought the 950 and 350 instead. It was used for about a week.

PM me if interested. I think I no longer have the original box, but am not sure.

Hi drew2720,

With Borders closing several stores, perhaps you could get a discounted Sony cover with/without the light.

I have a red/pink 650 with a black Sony cover (no light though) - it looks fantastic and protects my reader as it battles it out with the contents of my gym bag or handbag.

Good luck,
Vic

Yes, Vic..tried that at several Borders here in the midwest and even online, but none were listed (even at full price). Guess I was a little late, mainly because I just got my prs650 (after waiting for them to be in stock) and then tried to find a cover. I would even like just a cover without the light , like you mentioned, but I settled for one recommended by Polly and am waiting for delivery.
Thank you for your suggestion!

Since you've mentioned it, did you buy your 650 during that brief moment they were available at the Sony Store or did you find it elsewhere?

I should also mention that cases for the PRS-650 in stone-oiled leather are available from hmcurriers on Etsy:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/67926425...-kindle-3-case

Cases for the PRS-350 cost ten dollars less than the Kindle case in the link and are therefore cheaper than the official lighted Sony case, since HMC offers free shipping. Since Octovo, Saddleback Leather, M-Edge and Noreve don't make cases for Sony readers, these are the only vintage leather cases I know of being offered for the x50 series.

There's no picture for the 350 or 650 case because these are new options that I and another Kindle Board member asked HMC to consider. Happily, they considered the idea and accepted it.

I happened to get in on that quick window on the Sony Store site..I actually got one of the red ones...really love it! Checked out the HMC site, those are beautiful! Thanks for the info..
