I have the Sony cover. It's leather, but not pebbled or padded, it's very flat textured. Suede on the inside. I will not consider a cover that allows anything to contact the surface... so the pockets on the inside BACK cover on the Sony makes sense. I keep a small "pocket cahier" moleskine notebook in the pocket, an SD card, and a business card for identification. I'd like it to hold a pen, but again, where? The pen shouldn't be allowed to contact the device and scratch it, but I always have pens/pencils around me anyway, so it's not a big issue.
I can't fold the cover FLAT, but I can fold it around. But, why? I don't fold my books flat, and so am used to holding a book "open". That feels very natural and comfortable for me.
