First of all, I do love my Kindle "clutch". Love it. It's beautiful, it feels nice, the fabric is going to stand the test of time. When it arrived it came in the most beautifully designed DVF box - a paper box, but with the very fancy addition of a magnet to keep the lid closed. It was almost painful to recycle the box, but I couldn't think of anything to do with it, and I'd rather not end up on Hoarders. I got the Ikat Berry colour, and I'm glad I did. Initially I was going to get the classic white/black print, but I throw my Kindle into the bottom of my purse and I'm sure it would have gotten dingy and dirty pretty quickly, the dark fuschia is much more practical. The inside lining is BEAUTIFUL. Now, I love pink, so if you don't love pink, this isn't for you. It's very pink :) But it's got such a satiny feel, but so sturdily manufactured. The clasp on the front is beautiful as well. The cover folds behind the Kindle very well to ensure you can read with one hand. I've even found the pockets on the clutch handy, even though I figured I'd never use them.
The only, the ONLY problems: there was a tiny thread that pulled out of the front cover near the clasp right after I got it, but you can hardly tell. If I were to redesign it, I would add corner-holsters so that the Kindle was held flat against the clutch; as it stands it is only connected by the connection at the binding, and if you flip it over accidentally while you're reading, it could put strain on that edge. And the only other tiny thing is that the fabric latch (that goes into the clasp on the front) is kind of in the way while reading, but I just tuck it behind and it's pretty good to go.
In short, I am 100% glad I made this investment. Love it. If you're looking for a luxe Kindle cover, this may be the one for you!
