Incomplete order

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2010

Unfortunately, I ordered this for the look of the cover and for the light that was advertised with it. I only received the cover and when I called I found out that the light could not be sent to me. I can either get partial reimbursement or mail the cover back for full reimbursement and then place order again. I was a little disappointed in the options given to me (as stated above). Someone elses lack of attention to detail then becomes my inconvenience...

Makes the K2 feel more like a book than a gizmo

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2009

Verified Purchase

The case is wonderfully crafted. It has good, strong stitching and is made to last. I have no doubts about the quality or durability. The K2 fits in securely and does not rattle on the clips at all. The pockets are lined and well finished, but oddly are too deep for business cards.

I use the cords to wrap around the device and tie on the binding. This helps them stay out of the way and makes it look more like a man's device. No, fru-fru bow for me.

The case looks like a really nice moleskin. It has a vintage or rustic aesthetic. I think it is better styled for men than women. It has a nice rough suede feel that makes it easy to hold and that lovely light leather smell. You don't have to worry about it getting scratched or scraped - it should get those imperfections - that is the style. Scratches that do occur just git it more character.

The large inner pocket does not appear to put any undue pressure on the screen. However, the inner pocket serves no purpose. Octo should just make the interior flat black. By the way, the black sections seem to be a really high-quality felt, but stitched - perhaps gingham? Either way, it is wonderful.

The case does have some mild bulk. Nothing that detracts from the device's portability. I've gotten many comments about how great the case looks and feels.

So, the real question is - is it worth the added cost over the standard case? Yes. Don't tell me you think it costs too much - you are a Kindle owner, you obviously have some disposable income. Do yourself a favor and treat your K2 to this wonderful case.

Not useable product

The Octovo vintage leather Kindle 2 book cover look and feels good but the metal hooks DO NOT line up with the slots in the kindle. This product is unusable. I have sent it back to Amazon for a credit since they cannot replace it with a working one. Hopefully Amazon will handle this in a timely manner.

I am a Kindle NUT.. covers and all.

I do love this cover. I think it is a bit over priced. Surprised it wasn't a slick soft leather. Expected bomber jacket type.3/2010
Now nine months later I am very disappointed that the color from the jacket is staining my Kindle 2. I have taken it off and am very sorry about
this. I wouldn't recommend it to those who do not want any stains on their Kindle. 12/2010

Pricey but Very Nice

This distressed leather cover provided just the look I wanted for my Kindle. I combined it with the Quest Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0) and, together, they give my Kindle a sort of overall Old World look I like and that, in some ways, compensates me for the fact that I can no longer enjoy cover art in the same way I could with printed books. (I am a relatively new Kindle user and am still dealing with printed book withdrawal - cut me some slack.)

Pros: Rugged appearance; thick & sturdy construction; folds back completely; clip-in system holds Kindle securely, particularly with additional strap in bottom, right-hand corner; inside pocket is the perfect size to hold my airline boarding passes (no more fumbling about as I try to remember what 'easy-to-get-at-but-secure' place I stashed them).

Cons: High price; cover definitely muffles sound if you're utilizing the text to speech feature (IMHO, if this is a feature you use regularly, this may not be the cover for you); does not fasten in closed position for extra protection. WARNING: I set a warm cup down of the top of this cover for about 30 seconds. It left a permanent ring mark in the leather. To me, that adds to the distressed look, but I imagine it would not hold that same appeal for others. ;-)

Recommended.

Not a hard protection

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2010

If you think this case will protect your kindle in a bag with other books think again.

I had my kindle in this case and put in my travel bag which is more of a soft briefcase type bag and it got bent enough to destroy my kindle. It is a great case and loved it but it is not the type of protection I needed. Its way too bendable.

A great cover for the Kindle

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2009

Verified Purchase

I just received this cover and I am very happy with it. I love the weathered leather look and the materials are high quality. As other reviewers mentioned, I like the juxtaposition of high tech kindle and old world leather cover. The cover is not much bigger than the Kindle itself and does not add much thickness or weight. I was concerned that some of the M-Edge covers were quite thick with padding.

The hinge holds the Kindle securely in place and the cover folds back very nicely for one handed reading. I found the Kindle, by itself, to be strangely uncomfortable to hold, I think because it is so thin. With the cover, I was very comfortable holding it for long periods, while reading and turning "pages".

I do want to offer a word of warning. This is "distressed" leather and it will pick up marks and scuffs easily. Folding back the cover will create "crease" lines in the leather at the spine. It's supposed to do that and that adds to the charm. But if that's going to bother you, you might want to choose a different cover.
