My take on the standard cover is this: It's fairly tough on the front and back, and would probably protect the _screen_ better that any other book-style case I've seen (including the Tuff-Luv one), but I just don't trust the plastic clips it uses to hold the reader in place without eventually breaking. The reader is held in place by two small plastic clips which slot into the special circular holes on the readers' "spine", and while I guess they'd be OK if you put it in the case and keep it there, I can easily imagine them breaking on repeatedly taking it in and out of the case. I also don't like that it gives no protection to the sides.
It'd probably be a fine case still if you're the kind of person who wants to give some protection to their reader, but keep the reader itself fully visible (metal body and all) while using it. (I know some people like to use their reader "naked".) But I'm not that sort of person.
I trust my Tuff-Luv case more for holding the reader in place, protecting the sides (it has the faux leather all the way around), and it still gives good enough protection to the screen (good enough to protect it in a bag in normal use).
Just my opinion, of course, YMMV.

Thank you for the information. The Tuff-Luv seems to win in most people's opinion. Thanks everyone.
