I got it last Tuesday from SonyStyle with the $50 gift card promotion. As for the cover, it's not as thick as my M-edge cover for PRS600. But it's strong enough to protect the reader.

Well, I'm not optimistic about the 4-6 weeks' time frame. Since I don't want my 500 back any more, I guess they won't keep trying if nobody is complaining about the same problem. Hope I'm wrong:(
