Leather cover
Some folks protest that they like the feel of a book and that the Kindle doesn't have it...with this cover - it does.
I've seen and handled several Kindle covers and this one is by far the best.
It's comfortable and easy to handle. It does not get in the way.
BTW, it looks great!
A great way to protect your Kindle purchase
After playing around with the idea, I finally went ahead an got a case for my Kindle. I like using my devices "naked", ie without cases, but overtime found that a case for my kindle was necessary as my commute bag is filled with things that could easily damage or scratch the surface of my reader.
I wanted something that looked good but was also fairly basic and not too bulky when sitting in my bag. This case fit my criteria on all accounts. It looks great from the outside and I love the smooth and supple feel of the leather (as well as the smell) and it is truly a pleasure to hold and read without getting tired of holding. The business card holder is a nice touch in case I accidentally leave it one the bus one day. The case is also good for privacy, because, I will admit, I am one of those who gets annoyed by others beside me reading along. The one thing to be wary of is that the case will get some nicks and dents. If you look closely (from normal wear and tear) there are small cuts and scratches that happen as a matter of usage. This does not bother me, and is barely noticeable, but it may bother others and it is worthwhile to note take note of this.
Now I will address some of the negative reviewers who erroneously state that this case does not fit the Kindle 2. THIS HOLDER FITS THE KINDLE 2. I will admit it is tricky to get it in. Here are the brief instructions. The top notch slides up and down to lock the Kindle securely into the cover.
1) place kindle in the bottom slot first.
2) slide down the notch on the top completely
3) slide the Kindle into the top notch
4) slide the notch back up to lock the device securely into the cover.
These instructions will make more sense once you have both devices in front of you. The big point is the top notch slides down to line up with the built in slots in the Kindle.
If you own a Kindle 6" GET THIS COVER!
When I bought my Kindle (6"), I got the standard Amazon cover. It was not long before I was looking for something a bit ... nicer.
I bought the Cole Haan Hand-Stained Smooth Leather Kindle Cover and was delighted by the construction. No cheapo corner clips; it attaches on the side with a strong metal clasp!
I bought the cover for the look and feel, but a few months in, I keep the cover on for much much more. I'm so thankful the cover takes all the abuse and not my Kindle! Don't get me wrong, the cover still looks and feels GREAT, but I am SO GLAD I have the Cole Haan cover protecting my Kindle!
The inside is soft leather with a little pocket for your business card (nice). The Kindle screen could not be more protected. The cover also flips back "behind" the Kindle (if you want) making it disappear when you are reading.
Seriously, if Cole Haan made a cover like this for the 9" Kindle, I'd buy the Kindle DX in a blink! That's how much I like this cover!
