Off the top of my head, I would sum up the pros and cons as follows:
Official cover
Pros:
Excellent quality, designed by the manufacturer for a perfect fit
Reader held in magnetically, making it easy to remove
SleepCover function works perfectly
Maintains the dimensions of the reader
Marginally lighter than unofficial cover
Cons:
Expensive
No button hole
Not a wrap-over cover, so sides exposed and higher risk of damage if dropped
Lack of design choices (two colours only)
Unofficial cover
Pros:
Decent enough generic quality, designed for a good fit
Cheaper than official cover
Button hole
Plenty of design choices (range of colours and patterns)
Wrap-over cover with rubber bits on the corners, possibly providing better protection if dropped
Cons:
Rim of wrap-over cover has the potential to pull open the device
SleepCover function sometimes fails due to ill-fitting magnets, meaning battery drains overnight
Adds bulk to the reader
Marginally heavier than official cover
