This is a nice cover and fits the new Kindle perfectly. It wasn't too heavy, but had enough padding to protect the Kindle. I like the way the "grip" feels on the sides of the the cover.

I ordered this in the "infinity pool" color. I am actually sending it back because the actual color looked a lot darker than the image on the website. It looks like a dark turquoise color, and I was expecting a sea-foam green from the way the pictures looked. I will probably re-order this in the black or the pink.

I also agree with other reviews. Was not color i was expecting, more of a brighter teal color. But i actually like it more than the color shown in the picture. Fits kindle very well. Will be keeping the item.

Pretty good sleeve to protect a Kindle device from scratches. I have been using it for a month and a few days and both the sleeve and my Kindle still look like new.

The sleeve seems pretty sturdy. The zipper is a coated non-scratch plastic and there's a fabric "bead" which lines case so that the kindle doesn't actually come into contact with the zipper. So no scratches. My issue is that it isn't snug enough - it's too large in all three dimensions by about .25 inch and the kindle slides around. For 25 dollars and "made for kindle", I would have preferred a better fit. The 'grip' plastic also seems gimmicky, but we all knew that when ordering... :-)

I like the thickness of the cover...will protect the Kindle well. I received the infinity pool color, but it is really an attractive teal. Very pleased.

Maybe I should have purchased a "cover" instead of a "sleeve." There is only one exterior photo of this item, and I didn't realize that it's nothing but a pouch. It seems to be made well enough, but it's a soft pouch and it opens only on one side, though it has two zipper tabs. It's worth $9.99 at the most, not $24.99. It was going to be the first thing I've ever had to return to Amazon, but my husband decided it's a good fit for for his GPS and accessories. This pouch just doesn't seem like it would be good protection for my Kindle.

I love the color and feel of this cover. It is a great fit for the newer Kindles that don't have the keyboard. The material is spongy with a grip panel across the fold. This is not acoce that you attach to your kindle like a book cover. It is a sleeve that you store your device in when you aren't using it and then take the Kindle out when you want ro read.

 

Opening this was a delight because the case way exceeded my expectations.

It is mostly made of Neoprene--the wet suite material--while the white dotted part is made of smooth shiny rubber.

The zipper has no problem closing around the corners.

The rubber part is perfectly placed so that it doesn't matter how dirty your hands are holding it, you can always wipe off the dirt.

The Neoprene is a light, spongy texture so it protects the Kindle well when/if it falls.

The color is probably a little pinker than in the photo.

Overall, a great product, and I'd highly recommend it.

 

I was mostly disappointed with this product although I have purchased several Belkin products previously and had come to expect good value. For the price (about $25) I expected a nicer sleeve, but this one is very minimal, having exactly enough room for my Kindle, and no frills. It is functional, but I think the pricing should have been about $15, so I felt it was definitely over priced.

 

I preordered a Kindle Touch, but as I realized once it arrived, I didn't have anything to put it in. So for the first month I had it, I kept it in the original box. That's a little awkward to carry around. So when I saw this on Vine, I decided to get it, despite that it's pink.

In short the product does what it's supposed to do. The Kindle Touch fits inside it and is cushioned against damage. Now since a Kindle Touch is at least a hundred bucks, I'm not putting this thing through a lot of torture tests, like having an elephant step on the case to see if the Kindle is destroyed. (I assume it would be.)

But the product does help insulate the Kindle from minor jarring and spilling and stuff like that. I just wish they had offered it in the black or even the turquoise instead of pink.

That is all.
