 Not an engineering marvel June 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I took me less than 24 hours to order a M-Edge leather cover. This cover is definitely not leather. Look at the Amazon Technical Details "Black cover with gray interior". Trust me, if it was leather, amazon would be touting that fact.
Here is why I paid $59 for the other after market cover:
1. My $359 kindle deserves protection and a classy case.
2. Elastic closure is clumsy and poorly designed. Depresses the click wheel.
2. Slips out of the cover too easily for my comfort. I fiddled with the grey plastic clip thing and got it to work better, but at its best it is not secure. I also had the rubber cover detach from the kindle.
3. Needs a place to keep a pen.
4. Needs a place to keep a paper clip or straight pin to perform a reset when on the road.
5. Overall looks cheap.
The difference between the original cover and the aftermarket cover is unbelievable. Anyone who thinks the original cover is so great should take a look at the other options available. The original cover is better than nothing, but not by much.

I can't believe people think this is a leather case! I know Amazon said it was for a long time, but they have now admitted it is NOT leather. The cover is not the best thing ever or the worst. I pretty much figured I'd buy an after market case. I'm waiting on my leather cover from medge. I'll be happy to have the book smell back.
 Works perfect if you know how to use it! June 15, 2008

First things first..the cover works flawlessly to hold the Kindle in place. There is a small gray tab on the inside flap which SNAPS onto the groove on the back of the Kindle. You have to insert the Kindle at a slight angle, and then push it to the left with the tiniest of force and it will snap onto and off the Kindle in a split second. You do not need much force to snap the kindle in place as the proper angle will snap it in place instantly. Once the tab is connected to the Kindle, the Kindle will be held in its place no matter how much you try to shake it. it does NOT fall out when PROPERLY placed in the cover.
You might need to lift the tab up slightly if you haven't been able to get it into place as it probabaly came flattened all the way down when it was shipped to you.
The Kindle does not use much power when it is on, and only consumes power when flipping pages. You do NOT need to turn the Kindle off. There is no burn in, and you can leave it on for days without charging it if you are not using it. The adapter plug fits in the Kindle on the bottom so you can leave it on, and have it charged while in the cover.
Before you get frustrated with the Kindle cover, take the battery cover off the Kindle, and learn how to snap it onto the gray tab. Without the kindle inside, you can get a better look at how it works. Once you get it right, you will laugh at how brilliant the cover works and laugh about all the bad things you said about the cover.
Very Disapointed June 3, 2008

I agree with what all the negative reviews say. I love my kindle, hate the cover.
Overall: You'd be nuts to spend money on this cover but for the price (included with the kindle) how much can I complain... oh look quite a lot ;-)
Negatives:
1. If you are trying to read the kindle falls out of the cover
2. To turn the kindle on and off you have to take it out of the case
3. The small corners don't seem to fit the kindle correctly
4. The quality of the materials is poor... feels very cheap to hold a $400 product.
Positives:
1. When not reading the kindle, it's not bad.
2. Once closed the kindle does feel protected.
3. The elastic band, though cheap looking, does stay nice and tight.
Hopefully someone will come out with something much nicer that this in the future.
It's not rocket science! June 3, 2008

I am amazed at some of the reviews. I use my Kindle with the cover 89.9% (yes exactly) of the time. 100% of the time I am using the Kindle with the cover, it stays perfectly snug in the cover and has never once fallen out even if I hold on the left side of the cover and let the Kindle dangle in the air. It's not rocket science, but it's pretty ingenius I say. And you do not have to "dislodge" the Kindle to reach the switches as someone said. You just reach your finger back there and flip them on or off.
I cannot understand the confusion people are having, or the bad reviews flying around. Perhaps Amazon should create an informational video entitled "Using the Kindle Cover for Dummies".
