However I do need it for protection, and so far I am very happy with the Cybook itself.

I have to admit that I agree with you about the craftmanship. It looks like they had to rush these covers through. On mine the brown "rubber" paint that they applied on the sides is done really bad. It was so thick and irregular that I have decided to cut it of around the screen. The paint was also spilled on different parts of the cover where it shouldn't be.
I didn't know the outside was not made out of leather, if that is true then they have misinformed me. It says very clear on their website it's made out of genuine Italian cow-hide leather.
