3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not exactly what I wanted, July 1, 2009

This review is from: OCTOVO Splash Proof Case (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle) - Black (Electronics)

The case works exactly as it states. It completely covers the Kindle so that it stays protected from the elements. The only drawback is that there is no easy way to access the power button, or the slot of charging. You have to open the top to get the power button each time you need to turn it on or off. And you have to pull it out to charge it. Getting it on and off isn't that easy, so taking it out to charge is a pain. Though I can understand that they needed to keep it completely enclosed for it to be 'splash proof', but I think what I wanted was just a cover to protect it with easy access to the power and charger... so this wasn't what I was looking for.

4.0 out of 5 stars I would buy it again, July 5, 2009

I found this product to be sufficient, I like it because it protects my kindle. Yes it is a little more difficult to operate the 5 way control, and to access the power button, however not impossible. If you have fingernails, ladies, you can flip the power switch. I didn't find it that difficult to take the kindle out to charge and put it back in the case, it takes a little effort but it's worth it to me. I would purchase this case again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Week at the Beach!, July 12, 2009

This case made my week at the beach with my Kindle DX the best ever. I took the OCTO splash- and sand-proof case off only to charge the battery (and I only needed to charge it twice because the battery life is amazing as long as you are not online). I didn't bother to put the Kindle back into my regular case when I was indoors. It is fabulous! My Kindle was safe and not a drop of sand got in, and after a while the case loosens up a bit and accessing the power button required opening the velcro only an inch or two. I bought one for my son's Kindle 2 as well, once I realized it provided inexpensive and necessary protection for our favorite reading devices.
