It Works., March 24, 2010
This review is from: Black Kindle 2 Glove Case with Front Pocket, Dual Zipper + USB Cable + Black Car Charger + E-Reader Light + Screen Protector + Determination Strap (Electronics)
I bought this bundle with my Kindle 2 because it really is a good value. You're getting a lot for $20. It is a little... chintzy though.
The case is fine- it works. I would NOT suggest relying solely on this case for protection. It is not padded enough. Don't put your accessories in this case while carrying around your Kindle- it could totally break the screen! I have a cloth thinger that I keep around my Kindle inside this case. If I didn't have that and usually carry my Kindle inside my laptop case, I wouldn't feel comfortable with the safety of my Kindle.
I don't even remember that 'determination' thing. I must have given it away when I got this bundle a few months ago. Whoops.
I hate the screen protectors. They catch dirt easily when you're putting them on so it is a little difficult. They also make your screen catch light easier so you have a bigger glare. I tossed mine.
Now this is what I completely love about the bundle: USB cable, car charger, light. The USB cable works perfectly, fits great- love having an extra laying around. Car charger? Works great! Fits the Kindle 2 charging spot nicely- I travel a lot so this was a wonderful addition to the bundle. Now, the light. It is rather bulky and you have to be careful when putting it on your Kindle. However, it works, it works well and it has a long neck so you can bend and move it all you want.
I am satisfied with my purchase although my review does sound a little negative. I just wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting.

Does the job, a little smelly, January 31, 2010
This review is from: Black Kindle 2 Glove Case with Front Pocket, Dual Zipper + USB Cable + Black Car Charger + E-Reader Light + Screen Protector + Determination Strap (Electronics)
I got this sleeve because I couldn't decide which cover to get. The more reviews I read about them the harder it was to decide. Some people complained that the cases cracked their Kindle, others that it was too loose or that they couldn't fold the cover all the way around the back. So, I decided that, until I knew which I wanted, I'd get this sleeve to at least protect it from scratches. I really like it. It does have a strong chemical smell but I expected that due to what it is made out of. I am sure if it really bothers me I can Fabreeze it or something. Some people complained about the zipper possibly scratching the sides- people- just pull it more carefully or put your finger on the inside to guide it around the edges of the Kindle. It's not that hard. I find though that the seams keep the Kindle far enough in that the zipper doesn't really come near the edges. I also liked the additional items that came with it. If bought seperately, the light, extra cord, car charger and screen protector would easily cost more that what you pay for the whole sleeve set! The light works well. I haven't used the car charger yet because the Kindle battery lasts so long that I haven't needed it. If I go on a road trip I am sure it will be great. I would say go for it if you are thinking about buying this item. You can't really go wrong!

Not Great, February 19, 2010
This review is from: Black Kindle 2 Glove Case with Front Pocket, Dual Zipper + USB Cable + Black Car Charger + E-Reader Light + Screen Protector + Determination Strap (Electronics)
The case is kind of cheap. The light doesn't clamp on without partially covering display. Screen protector creates glare.
