But the fact that the touted leather cover, turned out to be the ugliest IMHO, vinyl cover and no way to buy nicer (+smaller) one sours it a little.

I found a really cute pattern at a quilt shop on Black Friday for a quilted paperback book cover. With a little tweaking, I have the most awesome looking cover on my PP.

Is it well stiffened with, at least, heavy cardboard? You need to protect the screen from damage if it gets a blow from some external object. Quilted padding won't be enough IMHO.

Nice! Let's see pics! I like the cover it came with but wouldn't mind something additional to put that into so prevent dust and crap from getting into the open areas of the reader that the cover to not, well, cover. What you've done is a possible solution!

I agree! We need pics, (preferably of the making process as well...)

I used the cover that came with the reader for more stability. The part where the reader clips in is in three pieces, because I suck at buttonholes and I needed the clips to come through. The ribbon is because the magnet won't go through that much fabric, but it's still tucked in there in case I want to change covers later.

It's all hand-sewn. I started Friday night, and finished it on Sunday, so I could bring it to work with me as normal.

That does look awesome Ladyrixx. I'm going to show the wife and see if she'll make one for me. Where the clips are, do you find the fit a bit tight between the PP and the cover? I look at mine and there doesn't seem to be a lot of room to have anything in between the PP and the cover.

I just got my EZReader Pocket Pro 5" in pink this past Wednesday evening. I have to say That I love it so far! No Problems and Aztak is having a deal where you can get the reader, a Memory card full of books with a little light to see to read in the dark, some starbucks coffe and some of their mints plus a 50% back coupon on the first 10 books you get through booksonboard.com which I think is a great deal in itself! I've not had problems with it and so far I love it! I like others here just want a good ereader to do what its suppose to. I mean of course I would of loved to get the new kindle with the wifi built in but I can live without the high costs and the "special features"

@ Ladyrixx

Thanks for showing us the photos of your custom made cover. Looks good. I especially like the galaxies and stars.

It would be better if the device came with a vanity photo of Robertb like the one George posed for on Seinfeld.
