I have seen this "No Longer Available" thing from Sony many times before with regard to their digital cameras and accessories. They are either switching to a new model (to improve or correct the old model), or changing manufacturing locations (usually to save costs). With regard to the missing covers, it's probably the former because the cases are already made in China.

I cannot see them getting completely away from making covers (at least I hope not). I think they are good sellers, and they fit perfectly, including the nice "magnetic catch" feature on the front and back to hold against the reader (a nice touch). I usually buy aftermarket cases and covers to save money, but the Sony ones word nicely for me.

I do wish they would up the quality on the 950 covers to match the quality of the premium leather cover they sold for the 505. Now that was a nice cover!
