I picked up a red leather case this weekend at Sony Style in Cincinnati. Count me under "this case is crooked". It kind of sucks, it's otherwise a pretty nice cover, but the Reader is not even with the case, it is probably off about 15 degrees with the right side dipping down. You can look at the plastic hub in the leather and tell by eye that it is not lined up properly. I agree with the idea that they are probably hand made, but I'm no engineer and I can think up at least four or five ways off the top of my head to make sure they line up properly by hand so that's not really a good excuse.
I want to return it, but the Sony store is over a hundred miles from me and I won't be back up there for about two months, and they have a 30 day return policy. So not sure what I'm going to do yet.
