I'm in Canada, and the Sony covers with lights are on sale right now for $45 [regular $55] at BestBuy and Future Shop. I did read that someone here wasn't happy with that one, and for $45 I definitely want to be happy!
I like the looks of the SkinDigital one that a poster here just had pictures of, and I think it was $15, I believe it was just on the previous page. But I'd like a light too. Thoughts? Not sure I'm happy about a clip-on light, I think I prefer the convenience of a built-in type. 
So, my question is, is there a definitive list somewhere that says which covers besides the Sony legitimately fit the T1? And do some of you regular posters remember seeing any with a light? I'd also prefer a rechargeable light, but I don't use it that often so it's not a 'make-or-break-deal', just a 'would-be-nice' preference. The most important thing to me is that it's bookstyle, durable, nice looking, and with a light, preferably.
Also, I saw pictures of the red cover with the white, it looked very nice, but I'm kind of picky about shades of red, would 'go-with-anything-black' look nice or not? 
Has anyone tried ones made by 'Evecase' or 'Navitech', just wondering about fit/quality. etc.
I appreciate your input and opinions. I'd like to order the cover soonish.  |
I have a red T1 with a white cover lighted Sony cover. I really love the Sony lighted cover - it's fits the T1 really well, it is very light, and I find that the light doesn't add as much extra bulk as the light on the PRS-350 cover did (I have that one, too). I use rechargeable AAA batteries with both of my lighted covers (for the 350 and the T1). The batteries last quite a while.

I really get that. I had wanted to get a sort of 'standard fit' cover when I was looking for a cover for the T1 but I didn't see any that I liked, and I like having a built-in light. I'm kind of tempted to get the Sony zip-up ebook reader cover, or something similar. I probably will, next time I'm in North America, as my husband broke the 505's cover and I don't like leaving it unprotected, and I will hopefully be able to use it on future ebook readers.
