Hard case for reader?
Anyone know of sites or people that create custom hard-wood cases for digital readers?
Thanks! |

You know what would be the ultimate laugh?
Buying a big bound book, and hollowing it out so you could store your ebook reader in it, secret compartment style. That would pretty much say it all wouldn't it? |

Hollow Book
There is a thread or two here on Mobileread on the subject. This link shows how to make a hollow 'book';

I have a wooden box, in the shape of a book, where I sometimes store my reader together with USB cable, charger, etc.

I have see that thread...was hoping to find a web site of hard-case-covers for my Sony reader. When I travel I like it to be encased in something that wont allow anything to put pressure on its screen.
Here is the one I made, but was hoping to find something a bit more refined. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffled...7613842502212/ |

This guy on etsy creates beautiful cases, but he'd probably have to do a custom-sized one for the Sony readers, since the Kindle 2/Nook are much taller.
