I would like a cover that is like the cover that came with the Sony PRS-505 - that was elegant. The cover Sony sells for the PRS-T1 is nowhere near as well made and is horrendously overpriced.

What is needed is a cover manufacturer to bite the bullet and invest the money for the plastic mold for the spine attachment. My guess is that the mold would cost about US $5000, and the parts about $ .05 each made from polycarbonate. Then a really nice leather cover with magnetic closing could be offered and at US $10 each the manufacturer would be laughing all the way to the bank and at the same time do all of us Sony users a real service.

I do understand all too well though that it is *so* easy to tell someone else how to run their business...

Cheers
