I ordered it two weeks ago and it was delivered yesterday.
THE BAD:
- - There is no way this thing is made of leather. It doesn't feel like leather, it doesn't look like leather, it doesn't smell like leather.
- The "Navitech" logo is impressed on the front and they obviously used heat to do the impressing because there are just as obvious signs of plastic melt in the letters.
- Interestingly, there is no mention of leather on the bill included in the package. All of a sudden it's just called "Black Sony PRS T1 case".
- The actual case has nothing to do with the photos on amazon.
- The glossy frame of the reader isn't even covered on the bottom.
- The rest of the glossy frame is "covered" in a remarkably ill fitting fashion.
- There is an un-advertised stylus holder. The case has been enlarged to make room. I never use the stylus, but others might.
THE BETTER:
- - There is an un-advertised stylus holder! It's a rubberized nylon loop with a nice snug fit.
- I can use the stylus holder to attach a safety chain.
- The front folds all the way back for easy one-handed reading.
- The reader is held firmly secure. I'm not scared of droping it anymore.
- The case is stiff and seems secure as a vault when closed.
The bottom line:
- If you want cheap, stiff protection made of plastic(and you don't mind being blatantly lied to by your supplier), then this is the case for you.
- If you want anything, even remotely resembling what was advertised, then
hands off!
Incidentally: I'm keeping it for use on the ski-lift, at home the ugly thing comes off!
