E ink reader is well known for its fragile screen, do Foxit plan to provide any hard case or soft cover for eslick?
Somebody bought the Nuut soft cover NC-601B which fit STAReBOOK perfectly, so it fit eslick too.

But I didn't find any place to buy it from America. Can foxit find some vendor to provide hard case or soft cover? Thanks!

For anyone feeling crafty, I made myself a case. The Rolodex 72 business card holder fits the Eslick perfectly and is only around 17 bucks. It's a padded leather trifold case. The case fits snugly around the Eslick, so even though its open on the top and bottom, vigorous shaking was unable to make the reader even slip a little.
To make sure that the Eslick wouldn't fall out once the trifold was opened, I simply stitched together a flannel screen protector, attached it to some elastic, and stitched the elastic into the trifold to keep it even more secure. I'll post pictures once my camera is up and running if anyone is interested.
Oh, I got the case at Staples - they had pink and black. Unfortunately for any manly-men out there, the pink fits the case a little more securely than the black.

posted this elsewhere, but I did go to office depot and found a small zippered pad holder for $12 USD which for me works quite well.

I think this kindle2 sleeve is good:

If Foxit can provide a similar sleeve, which will be great. This sleeve is slim and rigid, can better protect the screen than leather cover.

Will this cover be eslick branded? How long to market? I will defiantly buy one if its a quick turn around. But i don't know how long I can leave my reader vulnerable its current state if its a unreasonable wait for the eslick cover i will buy an alternative.

Does anyone else noticed that really close resemblance with the eSlick?
If that is for real, there is a pretty neat source of covers. Also, those are better than sleeve like covers.

Yes, I believe the bookeen cybook has the same hardware as the eslick. The bookeen website has a few cases/jackets listed, I think someone posted the link above. However, the cheapest one is about $40, sort of pricey for my budget.
Christina, any updates on the case?
