I have this cover/backlight.

The plus is that the LED panel doubles as a screen protector.

The minus is that it does add weight and size, which to me is pretty noticeable. The unit is not as comfortable to hold in one hand for long periods of time, you must switch hands due to some fatigue.

Also Sony should have made the cover much like the deluxe cover which I also own. The deluxe cover have pockets in the back for memory cards, business cards, etc. I bought the deluxe cover and the sony optional light before Sony integrated the the cover with the light. At that time the total cost came to about $60.00 after shipping.

I now into optional covers for about $120 and I'm sure that sony will come out with another Deluxe cover with the integrated light. I should have probably have waited for that cover but oh well.
