I don't like the original cover. For one thing, it's syntetic leather, and the "tan" colour that goes with the silver reader, is a pretty ugly, thoroughly fake-looking colour. And it's plastic. I don't mind plastic, but I really don't like when it's trying to look like leather and fails utterly. That's my main gripe with the standard cover. Secondly it also feels a bit thin and flimsy, not sturdy enough for throwing into a purse/bag. I didn't trust it enough to keep the screen safe. The upside is that it is thin and has magnet closure - that's a very good idea.
