For what it's worth, I bought my reader with the Sony leather case - in red as it happens. I also sometimes fold the cover back, and find that it works absolutely fine, with no creasing or damage to the spine.
Not only does it look very fetching, the leather is very thick and stiff, so I find that it provides considerable protection to my reader, and after 3 1/2 months, it is still essentially unmarked, so therefore stands up very well to wear & tear. It latches with magnets to the reader's frame, and again, I find this successful.
My only gripe with mine is that the attachement thingy (same as for the plastic cover that's in the original reader box) is not "square" - it's out by a degree or two, meaning that the reader doesn't sit quite symetrically in the cover; it's an aesthetic, rather than a practical matter, as it doesn't affect the functionality, and I'd imagine is not normal, being a minor individual manufacturing defect.
Hope this helps,
Steve Abbott
