One nice feature of that case was that while it did cover the power button on the back of the Voyage, it had its own button extension, kind of like what you would see on a phone case, so that the power button was still usable. I would prefer that to the actual cutout present on most 3rd party cases.

The unofficial SleepCover (at least the one I bought) is marginally heavier, by 5 grams or so, I seem to recall (can't remember exactly). But yeah, I guess it's the extra bulk on the sides.
