I've had a PRS-505 and the Sony case w/light for a little over a month now. I've been leaving the reader in the case permanently. Yesterday I noticed a few smudges on my screen. I tried to clean them off but they wouldn't clean. Then, I noticed that there were also similar marks on the same place on the light screen. I don't really know how these got there, but they just seemed to pop up over the course of the day. The scratches on the light screen rested against the 505's screen and in turn scratched it.
Additionally, the place where the plastic light screen rests against the edge of the 505's screen was slightly damaged. Small gouges were worn into the metal. Needless to say, I won't be using the light case any more. I'm ordering a bookarmor case and a screen protector, but I guess it's too late for that. My one-month-old unit looks a couple of years old already.
I'd try to get a replacement screen, but I live in South Korea.
I'd recommend staying away from the Sony Light Case.
