PRS-T1 PRS-T1 cover and case thread

I don't use it.

But it does fit nicely on the inside spine of the startechik case. I geuss I'd like the case even better if it didn't, because then the allready compact case would be just a few mm smaller.

It's likely just thanks to the leather (flexible) material and the magnetic closure that it has a little bit more leeway.

Yah, you're right, and the design which folds back perfectly for a one handed fit.

(Not sure how the white cover will look after some time, tucked in and out of handbags and what have you.)
Anyway, contrast is definitely a nice way to go!! And black/white is one of my favourite combinations! (Hence the dog! )

I have had a red T1 and the white lighted Sony cover for a few months now, and I love the combo; I'm happy now that I didn't go for the red reader with the red cover. I'm really happy with the Sony cover, and i like it more than the lighted cover for the 350, actually. I've been carrying the white cover in my purse and it still looks like new. I don't tend to keep many things that could dirty it in my purse, though.

Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering if the white case showed dirt and wear easily.

I was worried about that too, and I was told that I had three months to return it if I wasn't satisfied with it. I'm actually very happy at how new it looks. Mind you, I tend not to keep things that could dirty it (pens, makeup) in the same pocket as the reader, so I suppose I have babied it to an extent. It wipes off very easily, though.

This is a discontinued case by Sony that fits T1 perfectly.
I don't like to hold a case while reading, so I only want a case for carrying it and protect it in bags.

I bought it from amazon for $8.62

Choose one of the other seller. I used the cheapest one.

slightly OT, but i like how that white T1 looks. I'm not a fan of white electronics in general and I do think a darker bezel makes the screen look lighter (to me, anyways), but your white T1 looks very sleek! If I were getting a T1 I might consider getting that white one and skinning it eventually when I get tired of the white.

Thank you, thank you!

I already have this case and have used it with my 300, 350 and Opus. I was hoping the T1 would fit, as I don't like the Sony covers. No need to buy a new case when I get my T1!

Now I just need to decide what color T1...

[dracodoc]

Did you try it in store?
Sony store will have all colors in demo. Bestbuy, target should have black one in demo.

The surface of T1 make it easy to collect finger prints, and black one will be messy after some uses.

No Sony store here - Best Boy has the black one out but I couldn't get near the display for very long during the holidays with antsy kids and crowds.

I'm leaning towards the black and skinning it. The skins all seem to leave a little of the bezel showing, and black always appears to make the text pop and the background whiter.

It's not a case. It's a sleeve. It's not a good sleeve at that. It leaves one side open so things in your bag can get at the Reader. Plus, it won't fit the Reader if there is a case on the Reader. So when you take the Reader out, you have no protection at all.

[mapabl]

JSWolf....you are not entirely correct. I have this case/sleeve now on my T1 and it works great if you don't mind the T1 unprotected when reading. There is actually a little felt piece that can cover the open end of the case covering the T1 inside (you can see the flap utilized in my photo). I hook my stylus in one end and a rubber stylus in the other end. Yes, the T1 is unprotected when removed but some people like that. The case itself is quite sturdy. All depends on the style you are looking for.

So is the UK site the same as the German one, then? Your comment that you weren't able to find an English web-portal seemed to indicate it wasn't.

It's slimmer than the Gecko, Navitech and lighted Sony covers, so it fits in all my jacket inside pockets(and it's light). With the others this is either impossible or a seriously tight fit. There's room for the stylus nonetheless.

I can't absolutely tell from the pictures, but it looks like the top is "open", in that there's nothing to hold the reader down from that angle. It's entirely the frame that hold the reader inside the case. From what you've said here, it's a precision fit. Is there any danger of this becoming loose in time? I had an open-top casing like this for my old HP iPAQ and while it started off being a perfectly snug fit, that was no longer true after around 4 months and the iPAQ fell out very easily.
