3.0 out of 5 stars An Item that you probably won't need..., April 28, 2008

This review is from: Sony Electronic Book Leather Cover (Black) (Electronics)

Even though I have thought that I had read a lot of reviews about the Reader I thought that it would come with no cover at all. This is why I purchased this cover. It turns out that the reader gets shipped with a cover though.

This cover is a little better than the one that was shipped with the reader. There is a little pack on the back and the inside is made of some nice material (felt if I am not mistaken) and it has some magnets on the corners, so that it clings more to the reader when closed, but my biggest grief with it is that you can't really clap it back, like you would do with the cover of a magazine or a thin book.

For a slightly better version of an item that u'll be getting with the reader itself, the price is not justified.

If you lost or damaged your cover, then this one will serve you well.

Im not giving more than 3 stars to this item, as one, who buys the reader doesn't really need this cover to start with and also because of the fact that you can fold it back...

Do not buy this cover Sony Electronic Book Leather Cover (Black). The leather part is nice enough but your $30 investment is wasted when the 10cent plastic piece in the middle (that holds the ebook reader in place) snaps off at one end. Mine broke within 60 days and neither Ace, nor Amazon, nor Sony would send me a new plastic piece ("we don't have replacement parts available") nor replace the cover. Save your money...use the cover that comes with the eBook reader. That cover has a metal retention system, not the cheap plastic one that's in this one. And, btw, NEVER ever buy from Ace. Their customer support is absolutely worthless.

This is a very nice cover, it looks like a book and isint as cheap/gaudy as the case that comes with the PRS-505. The inside is soft hide so it doesent damage the reader. The pockets in the back are nice as well.
