 A good basic base September 4, 2010
Linh Nguyen (Maryland)
My first reaction to ordering this was "$35? Really?" Upon searching historical cases for the Kindle 2 to gauge how it might be for the 3, it seems not all that off. I'm sure it'll drop in price a little, but the price to pay for being impatient. But I don't see this (or anything similar) being less than $25 anytime soon.
With that said, the weight of this nearly doubles the whole package. I debated whether to use it or not because the Kindle is so nice and light. But it does let you get a decent grip on it and feel more secure.
I do wish the corners were tucked in on the right edge. It doesn't NEED anything, but it would have been a nice touch.
The band is great conceptually. Some report it is only glued in, but I'm not trying to test that. Some complain "it's a hair tie" but what do you want? It's an elastic band on a $35 product... even other moleskin notebooks I've seen have a thinner "hair tie." I think it's fine, just wish the tab for it was an inch lower.
Overall, more a 3.5 star than a 4 star rating. But I'll give amazon an edge. I'm not sure what you could really do to make it lighter w/o compromising the purpose of protecting it in a bag. And long term durability and quality.. I'll come back to this in a year.
 Highest quality, great protection, sleek look September 4, 2010

What happened? The tracking status has been saying this item is in transit for almost a week. Is it lost?

I am very pleased with this cover. It is very protective, a nice shade of blue and very compact. It does fold over. I know some people don't realize this. The leather is stiff at first but it will fold over and soften after a few days. I had the official cover for kindle 2 and they have made some improvements. The leather is a better quality, they now offer a choice of colors and the spine doesn't feel like it will fall apart. Overall having the elastic is nice as well as it makes it more secure. I like that it makes the kindle feel more like a book and the hinge system is really nice. I like the clean look and won't be buying any cover that puts corner straps on the device. My one con is it weighs 5.7 ounces and while that is not heavy it really could be more like 4 ounces as they probably make the cover heavier than it really needs to be and still be protective.
Finally a cover with a great reading light September 3, 2010

I am very pleased with my new Kindle cover. The third generation Kindle is very sleek and has very little area outside of the screen itself. This is great from a form factor perspective, but it makes mounting a standard clip on book light a challenge. This cover with a built in light is a great solution. The new light is ideal for reading in bed after your wife/husband/etc falls asleep since the angle of the light allows it to focus on the screen and not cast light where you do not want it. The light provides good coverage of the entire reading screen. If you are traveling, there is no need to worry about batteries since it runs off the charge on your Kindle. The cover seems substantial and well made -- built to last. Definitely worth the investment.
