K2 cover here... but I did find out that my original Nook cover fit the Sony 950 quite well, just with less edge protection. And actually, power and WiFi button access was BETTER in the Nook cover. However, it's not bad in the K2 cover, I just use a fingernail.

Since I'm still using the Nook as a secondary reader, I opted to order a K2 cover for my Sony after talking to Bookworm Girl on the fit. K2 is also what the Oberon "leather guru" recommends over the phone.

But whether they really have actually tried the Sony in the covers, I couldn't say, because I could not get a clear answer about why it would be better than a Nook Color cover. I'm thinking their knowledge may just be from the dimensions or what people have told them rather than hands on experience with the Sony. They seemed to think that the Sony would be too loose in the NC cover, but clearly that is NOT what Bookworm_Girl has experienced!

At any rate, I'm happy enough with my K2 cover on my Sony!
