The Sony Leather covers are too stiff to fold back behind the reader like the original stock cover (black) can. I purchased and tried 2 red ones from Borders and had to return them both because of defects. One had the connector out of alignment by a few degrees and the other had one of the metal plates that match with the magnets on the reader in the wrong location so it would not stay closed. There seems to be a real problem in the manufacture of these in their Chinese factory.
