This review is from: Cole Haan Hand-Woven Patent Leather Kindle Cover with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle), Tanzanite (Electronics)

This is quite an expensive cover and it looks like it, feels like it, and wears like it! Purple is my favorite color and I was delighted that Cole Haan produced this cover in my color. The outside basketweave pattern is gorgeous and the inside suede is soft and fabulous. I travel extensiviely and get comments about my cover all the time, which, of course, draws attention to the Kindle that I am reading. Together, the cover and Kindle draw quite a bit of interest for their beauty and functionality. My only suggestion for this cover is that it have some type of holder on the right side of the cover so the Kindle does not flop around so much. That is really not a big problem, but for such a class act cover it would certainly have been appreciated.

I love Cole Haan products and was very excited to order this one but it was not worth the money. The way the Kindle clipped in using the hinges made it pop up and the front cover wouldn't stay closed. It looked nice but I returned it. I ordered another similar product from M-Edge for much less money and I am much more satisfied with it because it has elastics in the right hand corners to keep the Kindle in place and it prevents the problems that the Cole Haan cover had.

I brought this cover to go with my new 6" Display Latest Generation Kindle and it did not disappoint! Yes, it is pricey. I brought it as a special treat and because I travel quite a bit so I wanted to make sure my Kindle would be well protected. The Cole Haan Hand-Weaven Paten Leather Kindle Cover with Hinge came beautifully wrapped in tissue paper in a beautiful box. It was like unwrapping a gift on Christmas morning and wondering what wonderful surprise was inside.

The cover is well crafted and very sturdy. I have carried it in my purse and briefcase and it has held up well with no marks or wear. I also use it with my Mighty Bright XtraFlex 2 Clip-On Light and that does not scracth or show any wear marks as well.

If I were forced to complain about anything, it would have been nice to have instructions on how to attach the Kindle to the cover. I had to figure that out on my own and I will admit I was a bit challenged on which end of the Kindle to attach first. BTW, it's the bottom. :)
