I'm confused. The SonyStyle web site shows a "Premium Cover Touch Edition" for $29.95, model PRSA-SC6.
I just bought a PRSA-SC6 from BestBuy, same price, but the box says its a "Standard Cover". It looks, feels, and smells like leather.
I have the impression - not just from HarryT's post - that Sony is marketing different accessories in the US and Europe. Other posts have mentioned the premium cover as having a striped lining, and that it is possibly made by Porporta.
If that is so, it explains some of my confusion about premium vs. standard cover material, but it doesn't explain the lack of consistency in labeling the covers sold in the US.
