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

By	Larry S. - See all my reviews

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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice, February 23, 2008

By	T. Jensen (ND USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Cheesy looking for Leather and for the price, September 12, 2008

By	Mahlers2nd "Mommy of Many Interests" - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I didn't like the cheap plastic cover that came with the PRS-505. I prefer leather. So I bought the pink. It was ok but looked kind of tacky -- too "pink". So I bought the black. It is not sewn properly and the front it buckled. The inside is supposed to look like leather suede but it is obvious that it is just a cheap microfiber. As another reviewer has observed, it is not padded -- while the non-padded cover has "cleaner" lines, it is not as satisfying from a tactile perspective.

While the leather cover is still nicer than the one included with the reader, it is not worth $40.00 and should be much nicer given the expense of the e-Reader.

I noticed over on the Sony eReader site, they were selling a Dooney Bourke cover for awhile. However, they said that is no longer available... maybe you can find it on eBay. I haven't seen it in person but figure it has to be better than this one.
