The BookArmor (tm) case is the ultimate travel companion for your Sony Digital Reader. The Reader fits perfectly inside with the SONY LEATHER SOFTCOVER on.

It is compact, zips securely, and protects both the screen and the controls, so that you are ready to read - anytime, anywhere. As Mr. Villa from LA, USA says, "the Reader is secure, doesn't slip and slide and all controls are still easily accessible!"
If you are not using the Sony Leather Softcover with your device, you should look at the BookArmor (tm) Delta Edition case.

The BookArmor (tm) zipper case will enable you to carry your Reader in your purse or luggage without worrying about something getting pushed into the screen or controls and causing damage.

The BookArmor (tm) zipper case is molded from thick layers of plastic and covered with durable abrasion resistant 600 Denier heavy weight fabric.

Customer Review:
A Mom in TX, USA says the BookArmor (tm) is "worth every penny. My husband found my 2 year old standing on it and the reader was fine. It also keeps him from opening it, because of the zipper. When I ordered it I thought it might be bulky but it is perfect!"

User Reviews....I have been using the leather cover for my Sony Touch edition for several months, but wanted a more durable cover with zipper to keep dust and sand out of it. After research online I chose the BookArmor cover for the device. I have my Touch still in the leather cover and inserted inside the BookArmor cover (Note: Unsure if it's possible to use without the leather cover, since the retaining straps on the BookArmor appear made to hold the leather cover itself and not necessarily the device). I have noticed no significant complaints, though there are 3 items to be aware of.
1: The rigidness appears to be from a toughened plastic shell that protects the device inside. While it appears like it will protect it much better then the leather cover, I wouldn't advise sitting anything heavier then a few pounds on top.
2: Once closed and zipped, it is a tight fit for the device. I have not noticed any problems with this, and feel very comfortable with it myself, but it is something to be aware of. I'm unsure how much pressure it actually places on the Touch, but it appears to place at least some on it.
3: With the leather cover still on the Touch it's a tight fit to zip up the BookArmor cover. Not extremely difficult by any means, but at the same time it does take a second or two to insure it's fully zipped.
All in all I'm very pleased with the device. -- BookArmor Book cover for Sony Touch Edition
I'm very pleased with this product. It's very sturdy and the semi-rigid shell is a real plus when it comes to protecting my eReader from the dings and scrapes of everyday use. I would recommend it for anyone with a reader. -- Great protection for my eReader
As with the other reviewers, I'm thrilled with the simplicity and durability of the case. Its semi-hard shell prevents flexing and other potential stresses that could damage a reader. However, several things were frustrating. The case uses a vinyl strap about 1.5 inches wide to hold a reader in place. There is one on each flap, positioned just off center to the side. After wrestling to stretch the strap enough to insert my PRS600, I was annoyed by the reflective, shiny vinyl. The PRS600 already has some glare and contrast issues due to the touchscreen technology, so this made a minor flaw a major issue.
I remedied this by installing velcro tape (fuzzy side on the reader), so now I'm very happy. By labeling this a cover for the Sony readers, the manufacturer was misleading. It's a generic cover that could have had corner elastic holders or a clip to engage the holes in the 505/600 series where the spine of a book would be. The case is a little oversized for the 600, so I positioned the reader off center, leaving some space on the right side as a grip. The entire package has a nice feel and I'm better able to angle the reader to minimize glare.
The carrying strap feels flimsy and I'm reluctant to actually hold it. They should have used the extra 25 cents in materials and labor to place a strap on the cover to attach a reading light clip. Again, velcro tape to the rescue.
In short, this is a great case after you modify it a little. 5 stars after tweaking. However, only three out of the box. -- Great concept not taken far enough
I bought this cover for my Sony Reader 700 before going on deployment for 7 months out on the open ocean. Needless to say, the Reader alone helps to reduce space taken up by multiple books, and to have the added protection that Book Armor delivers is fantastic. I never worried about throwing it in my rack, having it fall off a table during heavy rolls, or other abuse that just seems to come with Navy life. For anyone who wants to keep their Reader looking and functioning at its peak, there is no other option than Book Armor. -- Perfect for military!
