Customer Review: Limited Protection
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased my Sony Touch Edition Cover via this website two months ago and have taken it on several trips with me. After some solid road time I can honestly say there is definitely room for a lot of improvement.
The thinly padded black, leatherette PRSACL6 is outfitted with a plastic bracket that snaps into the mounting ports on the top and bottom of my eReader and binds the unit to the cover. It does a good job of holding my E Reader in place but I remain wary of the use of plastic. Its a given that the thin padding is not going to protect my eReader from hard impact.
I found no mention of this in the instructions or via the company's website, but there are four magnets installed on the corners of the cover. Obviously there for secure closing, this may or may not be a problem for any electronic media placed near it.
A sliding power switch with two brightness settings operate the flex neck LED light. Powered by one AAA battery, the flex light does an average job of providing illumination. No matter of the positioning level, there is a small amount of glare. So far I've gotten some great mileage from the original battery.
Besides the magnet issue that I noted earlier, this product still has an unfinished feel about it. Even though it protects the front and back of my E Reader, it still leaves vital ports located on the top and bottom plus the stylus slot exposed. An enclosed cover would have been ideal. In the meantime, I have to designate a dedicated storage area in my briefcase or backpack just for my E Reader.
The Sony PRSACL6 comes with instructions, one AAA battery and a one year limited manufacturer's warranty. Sony's website is usually loaded with user friendly product data. Information on this product is practically nonexistent. On the bright side there is a toll free customer support number posted.
It is without question that this product was rushed to market. Unfortunately, until there is an improved version by either Sony or perhaps an outfit like Case Logic, buyers have to settle for limited or no protection. For the price, I was expecting more.
