I received the cover and I have mixed feelings.

On the plus side, it's light and the way the cover flips back in the back does indeed make it easier to read one handed.

On the minus side, the holes are slightly misaligned and generally too low: the hole for seeing the green light on the top right is just below it so you cannot see the light, the top border actually covers the top millimeter of the screen, and the control button is not aligned in the round hole, which makes pressing down easy, pressing right and left OK, and pressing up a bit awkward.

I also find it a bit bulky when the cover is folded back. The stand and the closing flap that goes between the cover and the back of the cybook make it a bit thick for my taste. I'm thinking of cutting off the stand, which I don't think I'll use.

Finally the part of the cover that's in front of the screen when it's closed seems slightly less rigid than the bookeen cover. Should be perfectly OK for carrying in my purse though.

Well, I guess it'll take some travelling around before I fully make up my mind on this case.
