PRS-650 Cover in San Francisco

cmdahler · 11-20-2010, 06:37 AM

I'm going to be in downtown San Francisco this afternoon, just for the day, and just on my feet (no car). Does anyone know if there's anywhere in the downtown area where I might be able to find a cover for the 650?

You could try the Borders on the 4th floor in the San Francisco Centre (the Bloomingdale's mall).

Thanks! Went there a couple hours ago. No joy: they just have the covers for the 950 and the 350, plus some generic ones that are outrageously priced. There's actually a Sony kiosk vendor on the 3rd floor right below that Borders, and he had the cover with the light for the 650, but I really didn't like the bulk of that added block of the light in the spine.

One thought occurred to me and I checked a couple of measurements online. I determined that if I got a generic DVD plastic case, the kind of rectangular hardcase that DVDs are sold in at any store, if I could remove the interior of the casing (the part that holds the DVD) so that I just had an empty shell, the 650 would fit perfectly in there. Just line it with a bit of felt or some sort of cushioning material, and you'd have a nice, cheap protective hardcase for the thing. I'll have to see if the interior of DVD cases can be removed.

Bummer, too bad you had no luck.
