I got the Sony lighted cover when I got my 505 at Christmas. It works fine, and I've had it flap over and slap the screen a million times without issues. (Still cringe each and evrey time!) It uses 2 little AAA batteries that slide up a hidey hole in the "spine" of the cover. Reading with the light lit for about an hour per night means the batteries last me about 3 weeks, so it must be drawing very little power to make such a bright light.

It works best for me because it takes up the same space in my purse as the original cover and is all in one piece with no clip-ons or spare parts to keep up with.

EDIT: I wish the cover had a pocket for cards, cash, etc.
