I received both the black pebble grain cover and the brown smooth leather cover today. The pebble grain does indeed have the problems mentioned by others but the brown smooth leather cover does not. The smooth one covers the entire Kindle and the elastic does not interfere with the slide switch. Also the smooth one is thicker,sturdier, feels better, and will protect the K better if dropped. The pebble grain is thinner and rather floppy. The brown smooth cover is beautiful , elegant, a joy to hold and look at.
To keep the cover flat, try a book bungee from Levenger. This will also keep it from opening if dropped. Also recommend something to protect the cover from scratches when carrying. I'm using a thin elastic cover from Levenger's-perhaps no longer sold. I very much like my red m edge leather cover for the K1 but the Cole Haan is SO much nicer. I love it.

This case looks great on the outside, but when you pick it up you realize how light and flimsy it is. Not a 100.00 case at all - truthfully about a $40.00 case. The interior lacks useful pockets like the M-Edge case. Also the straps that hold the Kindle to the case are elastic and the Kindle comes out of them easily while the M-Edge has leather straps. I had to try this one out because it does look nice on the outside, but I will be returning it and buying my second M-Edge cover.
Take it from a Kindle 1 and 2 owner - skip this one

The previous commment-writer has gone through every folder posted by Amazon and trashed everything made of leather, and praised Kindle 2 folders made of synthetics period. It's not likely he has them all by now. This is not an animal rights-con\leather site to make a statement etc. Shoes, car seats etc. still leather-period, it's here to stay. Cole Haan always makes high-quality products and for those of us that like their shoes, we aren't surprised at the high-quality folders for Kindle they make. They continue to be top-drawer.

Great case if you like leather
We've had our Kindle 2 and the Cole Haan smooth leather cover for six weeks. The Kindle is great, but expensive enough for us to want to protect it. Read more

An elegant cover
The Cole Hahn cover is attractive, even elegant. Unfortunately, it is also heavy and a bit bulging. Read more

very nice
The Cole- Haan cover for my Kindle is very nice. It is a little pricey but it is eloquent looking and very utilitarian. I really am glad I got it
