4.0 out of 5 stars Good but there are lower cost alternatives, January 3, 2010

This review is from: Cole Haan Hand-Stained Smooth Leather Kindle Cover with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle), Dark Brown (Electronics)

Purchased this for my Kindle 2. I travel every week and I wanted a protective case that was comfortable and gave my Kindle a more book-like feeling. The case definitely accomplishes those things. The leather is high quality and very smooth. The front cover folds back easily behind the Kindle making it very easy to hold. The hinge locks are metal and so far have been very durable.
The business card holder is a nice touch as if I were to ever leave my Kindle on a plane, I would hope that someone would return my Kindle to me.

My only complaint is that it is not worth the $99 dollar price tag, when the $30 version from m-edge provides a higher value. My wife has the m-edge version which is a cheaper price and provides a corner flap for extra security. While the business card holder is nice, it prevents the cover from laying completely flush.

I am definitely happy with the case and its overall quality. I probably would not buy it again as there are two nice alternatives from m-edge and octovo.

1.0 out of 5 stars doesn't fit correctly, February 27, 2010

This review is from: Cole Haan Hand-Stained Smooth Leather Kindle Cover with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle), Dark Brown (Electronics)

This cover is gorgeous -- smooth, soft, unblemished leather -- and I thought it would be perfect. But the cover simply did not fit the Kindle correctly. I tried two of them before I gave up, and they both had the same problem (though to Amazon's credit, the exchange and the subsequent return processes were smooth and easy). When I inserted the Kindle in the hinge system, the Kindle did not rest flat against the back cover; the right edge of the Kindle stuck up in the air about 1/3 inch, cantilevered out from the hinges. If I pressed down on the Kindle, it might have laid flat against the back cover temporarily, but after reading of other Kindle owners' problems with their cases cracking (using other covers, not this one), I was not interested in subjecting my Kindle to any more stress than necessary at the hinge connector points. So I've returned it. It's too bad, because I really wanted to love this cover!

This review is from: Cole Haan Hand-Stained Smooth Leather Kindle Cover with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle), Dark Brown (Electronics)

I had initially thought I would just get a cover to protect the Kindle when I travel with it, as I had not been interested in spending the money for a leather cover. I read the reviews of the Kindle covers, which were very helpful and convinced me to get one in leather. The ones I had seen were black or colors that weren't my favorite. Much to my delight, the dark brown cover was there to choose from, and I love it. It is elegant. I like the feel and smell of it, as well as the ability to use it like a book or fold it back. It is held securely in the cover, which gives me more to hold when reading it, and I'm not concerned about it sliding away or getting scratched. I would recommend it highly.
