Not so Premium after all!
I received my eReader "Premium" Black Leather cover the first week in June 2009 at a cost of $50 including tax, S&H. I'm very careful with my eReader, 1.) because I like it, and 2.) it wasn't cheap. However, after just a few months of use (mostly reading before sleep at night) the top of the plastic backing that clips into the Reader itself is already showing signs of fatigue. I think it's only a matter of another couple of months and it's going to break completely! If I happen to be standing and holding it at the time it breaks, the eReader could fall to the ground and be severely damaged. So what are my options??? To waste $50 on another "Premium" cover? I don't think so! This flimsy piece of plastic is not sufficient to support the weight of the eReader; it just isn't practical, and certainly not worth the money Sony wants for it. They need to beef-up the plastic a bit or redsign it.

Faulty plastic spine
I really like my reader, it's a terrific product. However, the plastic spine will easily break with just normal use. For a cover this expensive, it should be reliable. This cover actually places the reader at risk instead of protecting it. I have had two covers that have self-destructed a little more than a year.

A disappointment
I love my ebook and take it everywhere I go. It is perfect for my purse, perfect to use while waiting for an appointment. The weakness is not the book, but the cover that protects it. The cover looks beautiful but the clips that hold the book in place are very weak and will begin having trouble holding the book after a rather short time and in my case will break. I had two covers in one year. At that rate It will get expensive. There need to be reasonably priced basic covers available.
