Has design flaws [Posted on 2008-05-19]
I was looking forward to using this with my Kindle.
Unfortunately it is one of the many items I bought that were not practical.
One major issue that I have with it, is that the skin covers the silver cursor bar. Even though it kinda shines though it, the visibility of it is quite impaired, making use of the silver cursor next to impossible.
I was thinking of using a xacto knife and cut the cursor window in the skin myself, but users of end products like this shouldn't have to go through this process. I can only imagine this to be more pronounced on the pink and black skins. So I am opting for a refund instead.
The skin is thick and though it adds adequate protection to the Kindle, it adds bulk. Also the texture and gripability (is there such a word?) of the Kindle are not as good with it. It feels kinda slippery; not very encouraging for an item protecting your $400 investment.
Perhaps those issues can be fixed with a v.2 product, but as it stands I cannot recommend it... Sorry Kroo, please fix.
Kindle Silicone Skin Case [Posted on 2008-05-19]
I just received the silicone skin case for my Kindle. The fit is too snug. Once I put it on my Kindle, it depresses the [NEXT PAGE] bar and the pages advance automatically. I tried repositioning the Kindle and the skin case, only to have the [PREV PAGE] bar affected. I will continue playing around with positioning the Kindle until either it works out right or my patience gives out.
