White cover for T1?
Anybody have a white cover for the T1? I am wondering how the durability has been. After you've used it for awhile, did it stay clean? Do you recommend it or would you have picked a different color?
I got a clearance deal on a white T1 at Target today. I already have a black cover with light. I am thinking of buying another Sony cover and trying to decide on white or red. |

Red... It will look nice with the white T1. Plus, I've not seen the red cover show dirt.

I was thinking red would like really nice too. On the other hand, I was thinking about another DecalGirl skin and that would limit my choices. I need to use it for a few days and decide if the glare on the white housing bothers me as much as the black did before I skinned it.

Does the Gecko cover linked below suit?
It is available in white amongst other colours and being a corner attachment type, not interfere with your DecalGirl skinned T1. They are very nice covers BTW, I used one to protect my T1 before I got the Gecko Leather cover. http://www.geckocovers.com/sony-read...-t1-cover.html |

One of the local Target stores has the white T1 in stock. I'm going to check how much and maybe get it if it's reasonable. I figure if I change my mind after I can't return it, I can always sell it. |

Thanks for the tip on B&H. I was thinking of stopping by Fry's Electronics later this week. They have covers in stock as well.
The Gecko cover looks nice too. I didn't realize that they had a white one. I found the prices to be variable at different Targets so good luck. I love my T1 for the library integration. I travel a lot and read outside a lot so I am worried that it might get damaged accidentally. That's why I bought another T1 on clearance (and I had Target gift cards too!). I can already tell that the white T1 has much less glare and is better about fingerprints than the black one. I really like it. I now remember the other reason I skinned my black one: the glare from reading with a light! |

I made my decision to go with the Sony white cover. I found a purple DecalGirl skin that I really like, and the white will look better with it.
