  I’m so glad I bought this!, November 1, 2011

  So I was a little nervous getting this case. I had gone through a lot of cases for my K2 and just wanted one perfect case for the new Kindle I bought ($79 one). Until I could decide which case to get I got a Vera Bradley book cover as a sleeve for my kindle (a great choice btw) and thought I would just keep using that case. Then my kindle with advertisements shows me an advertisement for 50% Kindle covers and I know I have to get that perfect cover with this chance (Because I’m not about to pay $30 for an $80 device…) So basically for $15 this cover is FANTASTIC! IF you have a lot of money to spend then by all means buy it at full price. If you get the special offer on your Kindle, go for it and get this at half off. This case has the material of strong canvas with leather trimming on the outside – almost feels like a great hardcover book would! The inside is soft and dark (like the kindle), the straps work wonderfully and don’t obstruct anything, and the strap for putting your hand through is probably the best idea I’ve seen in a kindle cover. I was a little skeptical about the strap that is there to hold the case shut (I thought it would be loose and be in the way), however, I was pleasantly surprised in the way it looks and works. The pictures don’t do this case justice – just take a chance and I’m sure it won’t disappoint. (This coming from someone who bought close to 10 cases for her old kindle and is only keeping this ONE for the new kindle!!)

  Not For Me, October 5, 2011

  I bought this cover to go with my Kindle ($79 model). While I love the look of this cover, I returned it after only one day. Why?

  Well, first of all, because it is made to fit both the Kindle and the slightly larger Kindle Touch, the Kindle moves slightly side-to-side in the cover. I found this to be distracting when reading. Also, the four tabs that hold the Kindle in the cover looked awful, and I did not like how they felt on my fingers while reading.

  The Kindle is all about the reading experience. The device itself should “disappear” while you read. This cover kept that from happening. I will wait for the official Amazon cover that does not have the corner tabs, and is made specifically for this particular Kindle.

  That said, this IS a nice little cover, was well-made and packaged, and for some people would not be an issue at all. That is why, even though I am returning it after only a day, I gave it 3 stars.

  Fits the new Kindle well, September 30, 2011

  I just received this case and am using it with my Kindle (4th generation). The Kindle fits nicely — it’s held in place by corner straps that are unubtrusive — the page turn buttons aren’t covered, for example.

  One complaint — the material used has a bad smell, but in my experience, this type of smell eventually goes away. If it doesn’t I will edit this review to reflect it.

  The smell. You are correct, it generally goes away in time. It’s usually a combination of production processes, the materials used and a lot of time it’s the adhesives. The product gets sealed up and never gets a chance to ‘air out’. Unfortunately that means that the unsuspecting customer gets a surprise. It will go away, and we are always looking at ways to prevent this from happening.
