When will PPC get a flip over cover?

[HOLLYWOOD_]

I am sick of bulky cases protecting my PPC. All I want is a flip cover. How come PPC camp can't mimic what Palm and Sony have already discovered?

"In a more positive upgrade, the T3 foregos the plastic clip-on cover in favor of a new flip-over leather cover that attaches to the top back of the handheld. It is the same removable design as used by Sony on several of its CLIEs, and we find it much more convenient (and harder to lose). "

A common refrain. I'm dying to buy a new PPC, but don't want to give up the flip cover on my Jornada 565. Why designers and manufacturers can't find a way to include this simple and what appears to be cheap option is beyond my understanding.

There were rumours floating around that the new HP iPaq 221x would have a flip cover in the near future, but I have not seen anything about this in a while.
