5.0 out of 5 stars Cover disappears June 17, 2011
In the same way that the Kindle was designed to "disappear -- just like a physical book -- so you can get lost in your reading, not the technology," so it is with this leather cover. The cover does its job of protecting my Amazon Kindle without getting in my way. The cover is made of rich, elegant pebbled leather. It feels pleasant in my hand, I can read it with the cover open (like a book) or I can bend the cover back to read one-handed. My Kindle is securely held by two hinges or clips, leaving the entire Kindle free of encasement--a feature that I really like. The elastic strap fits smartly into a groove on the front of the cover. It also can be used to hold the cover back if I want to read one-handed. I purchased my cover from Target because I really wanted to see and feel it before I made the purchase. I recommend this cover for your Kindle.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Choice to Protect June 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
The Good:
Very solid but lightweight, with a strong spine and easy attachment to and removal from the Kindle. Smells like real leather. Offers very good protection.

The Bad:
Can't (shouldn't?) fold it back, so you have to hold it open much like a regular book. This makes it more bulky and unwieldy than the Kindle alone. I end up removing it for reading, making my train commute a little more awkward.

The Rant:
Why can't manufacturers make their products with the cover already built in? It's obvious that the Kindle screen can be damaged if left unprotected. I know it's a rhetorical question because if we didn't pay for the cover separately, the cost would be added to the price, but somehow, that seems more honest to me.

Last Rumination:
As someone with poor eyesight, I think I should have spent more for the lighted version. I avoided it because of higher cost and weight but the Kindle is hard to read (for me) in low light. But for those with better eyesight, this is a good product and should be sufficient.

Update (6/25/11):
Based on comments to my earlier review, I tried folding it back. I was a little nervous but am happy to report that it works fine this way. That alone merits an upgrade in stars and title. Also, even with my poor eyesight, I'm able to read the Kindle in most locations, so with hindsight (which is better than my eyesight), I'm not sorry I passed on the lighted cover.

1.0 out of 5 stars Proceed with caution!! July 24, 2011
By John
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT purchase this item!! At first very happy with my purchase... but slowly things started going wrong with my kindle. It would stop then reboot on it's own and return to the wrong page, requiring 5 minutes more or less to get to my original page. I was constantly rebooting on my own because it would freeze. This would require keeping my reset button depressed for a minimum of 30 seconds... the problems just got worse and more frequent. I replaced my kindle twice! Then finally called for another replacement and in frustration told the "kindle specialist" ...."I can't figure out what the common denominator is".... Then she asked me to describe the cover I was using... I told her and she said ...."there's your common denominator!! She directed me to take the cover off immediately. It appears the prongs interfer with the circuitry causing the problems I mentioned before. She reimbursed me for the cost of the cover and gave me an additional $25 credit so I could purchase the same cover, but with the light. This new cover was designed differently. The light is perfect and requires no batteries. It runs off the power of the Kindle. The specialists know about this problem and apparently so does Amazon. Kindle did not design this cover... this I was told by the specialist. I fly for a living and have come across a few passengers who are using the old cover and without fail they all say they have been having trouble (exactly the same trouble I was having. I hope they took my advise and contacted Kindle. Do yourself a favor either buy the model with the light or an entirely different cover without the prongs. I love my Kindle and my new cover!! Good luck!! Kindle customer service was fantastic!!

It fits the kindle keyboard model very well. Nice elastic strap for closure. The outer surface of case is slick, so it gives a bit of an insecure feeling carrying the K. Sturdy. Read more
