But the feel of the front is diminished in my eyes. It just doesn't feel like Sony's previous covers. This might be the first time I go with a third party cover for a reader.
That said, I have pretty high standards for covers. I absolutely hated every single Nook STR cover I saw. They added too much bulk and looked like a device sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard. Just about the only style cover I loved, first or third party, was the 650 cover. The only one I liked (but didn't love) was the 505 standard cover.

And, if you had the 500 cover the diminishing quality with each generation is even more apparent. I bought the lighted cover. The difference is obvious from my 350 lighted cover. The plastic seems cheaper. There is no more option to change the brightness between Hi & Lo. The length of the flexi-arm is shorter. On the other hand, that's because they've changed the design to make the width smaller. My 350 and T1 lighted covers are the same width and also similar to a 505 width. The lightness is amazing! I do like the cover more than I expected. The firm back cover is nice and feels protective.
