That's how my SO broke the Sony 505, only with a sunglass case. They were both in the front laptop pocket, and shifted just enough to where the solid sunglass case was pressing on the reader with the pocket zipped. Ironically, the light wedge reading case was on it and it still pressed through.

I had contacted sony and they said to send in for exchange.
So after a week, i decided to box it up, but before i wanted to copy all books etc of reader.. Plugged into the laptop, and was starting to copy files, when the "CHARGING" message came on the screen after about 2 minutes, and then it started to work properly again.
I think its a bug in the firmware... because my one has never been dropped etc.
I like my e-reader but i am starting to think is might actually be another crappy sony product.

I've never seen that one before. That looks much different to me with that symmetrical pattern.
