I have the Sony PRS-650 cover with light and think they are both fine. The cover looks smart, seems well designed, feels comfortable when carrying the reader and is perfectly functional. My cover (with single AAA battery installed) weighs 156 grams. The reader weighs 206 grams, so reader plus cover weighs 362 grams.
Approximately 2/3 of the right-hand side of the front appears to be covered with a synthetic leather-like material. The remainder of the front, the spine and all of the back are covered with a single piece of synthetic non-slip matt material that facilitates holding the reader when the cover when closed, and resting the reader on something, so it doesn't slide off, when reading with the cover open. The entire inside surface of the cover appears to be covered with the same non-slip material.
Both the front and rear halves of the cover seem to contain weak magnets, so the back half remains attached to the rear of the metal body of the reader, unless they are prised apart and the front cover remains closed when you want it to be.
The light contains 3-LEDs and there is a 2-position slide switch that enables you to control the intensity of the light. When you find that toggling the switch between the two positions no longer changes the intensity of the light, it's time to change the battery.
