Same here. The cover has a distinct petrol-like smell, which I find mildly off-putting. As far as protection goes, I think it will do for my purposes, as I don't have any hobbies which have "extreme" in the name. ;-)

Yup, same here. The device occasionally freezes, and when I press the On/Off button just once, it reboots. Not a major concern, but still annoying and worthy of a fix.

It certainly has the Vizplex decal, yes, and the screen flips themselves are quite fast. I would still like to have a bit more contrast. (When I look closely at my screen, I notice a bit of "noise" from black particles in the white areas, maybe this has something to do with it?)

I wouldn't call it yellow grey, but it's certainly not pure white, and to me the screen has a very slight yellowish cast to it - just enough to be (barely) noticeable and to offset the blue tint of the LED a bit.
