Question: Will this cover fit the Kindle 2?
I am purchasing the Kindle 2, but wanted to know if this cover fits the Kindle 2?

Cover doesn't close fully
I just received this cover today and have already printed the return shipping label. The construction quality seems fine, but the cover doesn't close fully when used on a Kindle. Since the kindle 1 has a distinctive wedge-shape, I'm sure that is the reason for the elastic strap of the original Amazon cover. I don't imagine that the lack of a strap would be a problem...

Cover doesn't close fully, March 9, 2010

By	jimmereeno (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I just received this cover today and have already printed the return shipping label. The construction quality seems fine, but the cover doesn't close fully when used on a Kindle. Since the kindle 1 has a distinctive wedge-shape, I'm sure that is the reason for the elastic strap of the original Amazon cover. I don't imagine that the lack of a strap would be a problem with the cover that Bobarra has for the latest (kindle 2 and dx) designs.

On a side-note, I did exchange a couple emails with the owner of Bobarra when making this purchase decision and was very impressed by her rapid replies and answers to my questions.

Thoreau Kindle 2 cover, April 8, 2009

By	Paul R. Niemi "clyde" (New York City) - See all my reviews

I received this cover today, {ASIN:B0021KDKE0 Thoreau Cover for Kindle 2: Chocolate Brown Leather]] and it is not at all like the one pictured. The retention is by elastic straps in the corners that are too small to hold the Kindle 2. I E-Mailed Bobarra and they said the pictures are for the Kindle 1 version. The quality of the leather is not great either, this is a cheap, cost saving substitute. It's on its way back.
