title_body: Can a Sony 700 cover be repaired? I use a Sony PRS-700 ereader while traveling (prefer old fashioned books). But after my last trip I noticed that the cover I bought along with the reader no longer holds it. The gray "clam" at the top that fits in the small hole near the spine of the 700 is bent. I have not been able to get it back and I am afraid to break it off completely. Anyone have experience with this? Is there some place I can buy the cover 2nd hand?
upvoted_answer: Before bending, warm the "clam" with an electric paint stripper (maybe a hairdryer is enough). I used a heat focusing cone for the stripper. Apply short shots from a short distance until the plastic is warm and stays in shape when moved. Keep in place until cooled. I did this more than one year ago and it still works.
  
  Be very careful with bending when inserting PRS-700 back in. Do not overstretch the plastic again. Also, use tools to prevent burning your fingers.
  
  Mine was broken at top, so not much strain on the plastic while reading.
