Best Cover for Kindle 2,
By Crimsoncascade (California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tuff-Luv 'Rouge' Leathe case cover & stand for Amazon Kindle 2 / Global Wireless 6" (Flip Style) - Red (not compatible with 3rd gen) (Electronics)
First off, please do your research when shopping for a cover for your Kindle. If you don't, you may end up with a cracked or scratched Kindle. After personally experiencing a cracked Kindle, due partially to the construction of a different, privately constructed case, I made sure to really consider my decision before purchasing the Tuff-Luv.
I am happy with my Tuff-Luv case because it is well-designed; It holds the Kindle in a "pocket" that protects and nicely displays the Kindle without using elastic (which always stretches out over time) and the Tuff-Luv doesn't use any hooking devices or poorly placed snaps that can cause damage. It is true, you will want to avoid holding your Kindle upside down when the case is open, but I can't think of any time (other than testing the case) where I felt the need to do this. If you do, velcro could be used to attach your Kindle to the inside back of the case. Also, as other reviewers point out, the case is red, not the orange that appears on many monitors. Personally, I didn't mind if my case arrived red or orange, but the leather on the outside is a different color from the red on the inside. For me, this is not a big deal, and the color is only slightly off, but if you are a color perfectionist, just know that the inside and outside of the case might not match perfectly. Additionally, for those of you who want to use a clip-on light, there is enough space on the Tuff-Luv when open to clip on the top, and when open for reading, the main magnetic snap can be folded back and under to snap out of the way. By the way, this snap is unlikely to cause damage; It is smartly placed, magnetic, and does not require an overly strong push to snap. The other two snaps located on the Tuff-Luv's stand are not magnetic, but they too (because of location) are unlikely to damage the Kindle. Just a side note: Since I am a vegetarian who avoids unnecessary use of leather products and does not like the toxic smell of vinyl, the decision regarding which case to purchase was made difficult because I realized that the majority of cases are leather, and the others are vinyl and do smell according to some reviews. So, this brings me to a suggestion for all companies making Kindle covers; It would be really nice to see fabric options for Kindle cases. This would open up all sorts of pattern and color options that would appeal to many customers, not just the leather-avoiding type. Many of us want to make a personal statement with our choice of covers, and fabric would give unlimited options. Even though I would have preferred a Tuff-Luv case made out of fabric, the Tuff-Luv case was the best option available when it came to protecting my Kindle with style.

I luv my Tuff-Luv!,
By
This review is from: Tuff-Luv 'Rouge' Leathe case cover & stand for Amazon Kindle 2 / Global Wireless 6" (Flip Style) - Red (not compatible with 3rd gen) (Electronics)
After scrutinizing over what seemed like hundreds of different cases, the Tuff-Luv won me over!
I really like the design of the Tuff-Luv in that the Kindle is completely encased. I feel that this will offer the best protection for it. Also, I was really pleased that when inserted into the case, and then closed, the Kindle can not accidentally slide out. Although it is not that snug of a fit, if held upside down when opened, it could slide out. So word of caution! The leather is padded and very soft. All ports are accessible, even when the case is closed. And I really like the stand for 'hand's free' reading with the morning coffee! The case is constructed really well, and just feels sturdy. My only complaint with this case, is that there are not many color choices to choose from. I would have loved to have this case in a saddle brown! Otherwise Black would have probably been my first choice, but since I live on a sailboat, I wanted a color that I would be sure to see, so as not to accidentally sit on it! Pink was definitely not my color, so Rouge it is! And it really is a neat color! I'm luvin' it more and more every day! Since my only complaint is lack of color choices, I don't think that I can subtract for that. So I'm giving five stars anyway! I would highly recommend the Tuff-Luv to anyone interested in a great Kindle case!

Tuff-Luv Kindle 2 Case - Rouge,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tuff-Luv 'Rouge' Leathe case cover & stand for Amazon Kindle 2 / Global Wireless 6" (Flip Style) - Red (not compatible with 3rd gen) (Electronics)
I bought this case about a month ago and I really like it. After reading about some problems with the hinges on some cases cracking some Kindles, I decided to find something else. The Kindle slips into the top of this case and there is enough padding so that it feels well protected when I carry it around in my purse. I love the color, too! I was a little concerned because on my computer it looks orange but it is a bright orangy-RED and that suits me. This case is also available in black and pink (that's all I've seen) but black seemed too boring and pink is just not my thing. I am giving this four stars instead of five only because if someone is not careful and opens it with the top facing down, the Kindle could slide right out. Not a snug fit. I have not had any problem with this myself but could see that some might. All in all, I would recommend this case.
