A big improvement over the original Kindle cover [Posted on 2008-05-26]
...pretty close to perfect. The on/off switches in the back are not exposed, but the right corner has an elasticized band that allows you to pull the Kindle away from the case to use the switches. It is pretty easy. It does stay in place nicely now however, without fear of it falling out as it did in the original cover it came in.
I recommend this nice deep red. It is not too bright, just bright enough to make it easy to spot your Kindle anywhere as opposed to the black one, especially in your luggage or car.
The best feature is the left side pockets. There are 5 of them - one large enough for a CD or pad of paper, 2 medium and 2 small pockets to accommodate flash drive, SD cards, business cards, or a small eyeglass-cleaning cloth for the screen. Very handy, even for money, license or CCards/medical card. If you have a doctor's appt., no need to carry anything else.
The left side also folds back, as some have wondered, and fits comfortably in the hand. When it is folded back the left side creates a ledge for your right thumb so you are not accidentally hitting the next-page button, a big plus! The pencil holder sits to the left side of the Kindle and can not scratch the screen or get in the way. It does not have a stand, but that doesn't bother me. If you need a stand get something else.
I love this but gave it only 4 stars because in my opinion, it seems overpriced. A fair price for this would be in the $25 range. My laptop case cost less than this case did and it is a pretty nice one. If the price is ok with you, then I think you will say "thumbs up" on this one.
A sexy Kindle cover [Posted on 2008-06-08]
My cover arrived yesterday, 5 days after ordering, even though I hadn't received an acknowledgment of my order, which had worried me.
The slightly muted red is sexy, classy and distinctive. It's a bit lighter in weight than the standard Kindle cover, and not as padded, but I think it will protect my reader as it should. I chose to go with the artificial leather so that the cover can be wiped clean and shouldn't stain as leather sometimes does. Fortunately, it doesn't look cheap or artificial. The stitching is uniform.
I like that the stiff cover folds back on the left a bit wider than the standard cover, by maybe 3/8 of an inch, which makes gripping the Kindle easier, and because of it's lighter weight, should not be as fatiguing to hold. It's easy to tuck the tab into the back while folded and out of the way while holding.
The pockets are snug fits and won't hold much, but it's a convenience to have them available for an item or two, such as an extra SD card, credit card, pass, ID, bit of paper, whatever. I suggest using the loop holder for an automatic [with a clip] pencil, instead of a potentially staining pen. It's your choice, of course.
When closed, the cover is slightly slimmer than the standard cover, though I think I may cut a piece of felt or other light padding material to slip inside over the face of the Kindle when carrying it around.
I agree with reviewer Bernal that the price point seems high for what you get, but currently, there's nothing out on the market to compete except for the leather covers costing $20 more. Consumers can make their own choice as to whether this good looking Kindle cover is worth buying, as this isn't a necessary item. But my Kindle is with me all the time, so I appreciate the eye appeal and it's convenience.
Now, to see how well it holds up in usage.
