    The title says standard, but the description says special. If its a standard I might be interested in one as well. Might need a quick email to determine.

      Well, I ordered one ...

      The guy was pretty nice to talk to and offered a range of different options other than just plain. I decided on a 'gripper' type material on top with smooth sides.

      I ribbed him a bit about the confusing text and it's was as I had thought ... he has both. Makes 'em to order ... so I'll post up a pic once I get it on.

        Ok, here's the pics of the cover ...

        that I bought at the above link. Only 39 bucks ... 'bout half of the B&N cover I bought for the G. Not quite as fancy as the B&N, but I like it just as much. I give it two thumbs up

          So what do you think of the "gripper" material? Is it waterproof?

              Ok .. well ...

              the 'gripper' material is just kinda' 'etched', for lack of a better descriptor, on there. Non porous, Bug.

              Thx, XJOK ...

                  That looks great, should put his link in the links section, and then you can put in a review.
