What's great about it: Lighter than some other covers I tried
What's not so great: Dimension changes so it doesn't fit more readers
I bought this based on the reviews here that it fit the Sony PRS-950 but I must have received a newer version with different dimensions because it was too narrow/short for the Sony. I was able cram it in but that caused some of the buttons to be pushed in and some of the features on other buttons not usable. I returned this one and took my reader with me and found another model in Black/Blue that was marked only for the Nook but the Sony fit perfectly. They didn't have one at my store in brown but if you are looking for for one that fits the Sony, the model number for the black one is THZ016US and the inside dimensions are 8" x 0.4" x 5.3". The one listed here is over 1/2' smaller in width but that is not reflected correctly on the specs tab.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cover used with the Sony Daily Edition Ereader

What's great about it: durability, appearance
What's not so great: access to ereader ports
The cover worked great. Since it wasn't made to use with the Sony ereader, there is one plug that doesn't coincide with the hole on the edge of the cover. Other that that, this cover was very durable and easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Doubles as a stand
What's not so great: A little bulkier than most covers
When I went into Best Buy I was looking to purchase this case. After looking at it and a couple of others I almost changed my mind because this case is a little bulkier than the others. However I ended up deciding that the additional feature to act as a stand was worth it. After having it home for a few days I can say it is well worth it. The stand is great and really comes in handy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Makes reader more functional
What's not so great: none
It says its for Kindle 2/3 and Nook. Even though the screen is larger the body on the PRS-950 is only a hair taller and wider than the Nook or Kindle. It fits this case perfectly. There were otherwise near zero other options for cases for my PRS-950, certainly none of this quality. Well constructed. The ability to prop it up at different angles is beyond cool. In fact I literally cannot imagine using an eReader without a case/cover like this one now. And the (sale) price of $30 is not that expensive, especially when you compare it to the cr%p they were selling for $10-$20.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Unique easel style makes reading in multiple angles easy.
What's not so great: Can discolor back of ereader.
eReader covers are EXPENSIVE and the Targus is no exception, but this one is worth it! The leather covering the outside is thick, high quality pebbled leather and the high contrast stitching is tight and even. The soft interiour is a padded suede material that cushions your ereader. The difference between this and all other flip/easel type covers is the firm cover on this one flips over and rests on the bottom to make a flat surface (enlarge attached photos for better view.) It has the unique property of being able to situate your ereader in multilple viewing angles, including a slightly downward angle if you need to need to read it from below. (This sounds odd, but I've found it useful on a few occasions already.) The fact that the bottom makes a hard surface is great if you want to lay the ereader on a slightly uneven surface, like on your stomach when reading in bed.
The ereader slides into a firm leather covered slot at the bottom with an opening for charging/headphones, and two firm elastic bands secure it at the top. I use my M-Edge booklight with it and it folds up into the case with the ereader without difficulty. I highly recommend this well made eReader cover.
The only flaw I can think of is that the orange color may wear off onto the back of the reader. I purchased a skin for my Nook and that seemed to fix that issue.
EDIT: The blue light from the booklight in photos is a camera error, not a problem with the light. Light is actually a very clear white.
I would recommend this to a friend!
