Parallel topic--I just picked up the Sony premium cover for my 300 (same as the 600's except for size). I really like the 505's stock cover, and was kinda po'd that Sony didn't include a similar (inexpensive) cover for the 300 (or 600). The cover seems pretty much the same as the 505's--I believe it's leather, but the 505 non-leather one was fine and is wearing well.
That said, no regrets on the 300 premium cover--except that I had to pay for it! They should include a basic cover instead of a pouch. It folds over easily, is held closed lightly by magnets (like the 505 cover), is thin but seems sturdy enough to protect the 300. I noticed a few small scratches on the back of my 300 after a month of use. This foldable cover should prevent more. And the 300 still fits in my pocket with the cover on.
I definitely like this style of cover that has pins to snap onto the Reader spine. (I do NOT like the covers with the obtrusive and ugly corner straps--I have an unused M-Edge cover for the 505.) So, no regrets at all, and I'm sure I'll get enough use out of it to get over the 'price-gouging' strategy of Sony for not including a real cover. (I'm sure they got this idea to make a few extra $$$$ from the Kindle.)
