I didn't notice before I bought this cover that the tab snaps close on the back instead of the front. It's a minor thing that annoys me. Other than that it's just what I was looking for and much cheaper than the others.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the greatest quality, does the job, March 28, 2010

After spending a lot of time exploring options for keeping my new Amazon Kindle 2 safe at a reasonable price, I selected this item. I read all of the reviews and was prepared for the "synthetic" smell that accompanied my purchase upon arrival. What no one mentioned is that this item just looks cheap and poorly made. The inside lining is all bubbled, as though the two layer of material did not adhere to the glue that was used to put it together.

Plusses: Easy to get Kindle in place and it does stay nice and secure.
The snap closure may appear to be on backwards, but the thought that went into this was smart - when you fold the cover back, that closure does not get in your way.

Overall, I can't complain too much because it wasn't a ridiculously expensive item and is doing the job. Do I think it will hold up for the long term? Not so sure - quite happy I purchased a special case that holds it all from a store on [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, elegant and a great value!, January 15, 2010

I chose this cover because it was the cheapest one offered on Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised when I got it. It is simple and elegant, and I like the fact that it snaps shut so that it won't open up in my purse (which is what I was afraid would happen with the one made by Amazon).
I also did not want a case that would "hook into" my kindle; this one holds it in place securely on all corners with 2 leather straps, and 2 elastic ones. There is even a little pocket on the inside to keep stray receipts and my grocery list, as well as a place to keep my pen. I bought a small book light at a local store for $3.99, and it clips into place beautifully between my kindle and the back cover. It feels wonderful in my hands. What a great value!
