Wow! Tastes certainly differ, but as always, taste is a mater of opinion, and you know what they say about opinions, they're like a..holes, everybody's got one.
The frame actually holding the reader is wierd! Why cover the nice matte finish above the buttons, while leaving the glossy bessel underneath uncovered, and then make a big ugly cutout for the word SONY!? It looks like it's a pretty bad fit too.
I don't see why they need to use two different materials on the outside of the cover.
Then there's that big ugly gecko embossed on the front which reminds me of t-shirts with crocodiles.
If you're like me you might prefer somthing a bit less flashy, a better fit and better quality, like this leather case:
