 Great cover for my first kindle August 26, 2010

I ended up going with the black leather cover to match the Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite - Latest Generation that I bought. The cover itself feels like it's made out of decent leather and gives me the impression that it will protect my Kindle while it's in my backpack or being casually tossed around the house.
The cover itself is easy to install. It took under a minute and once it was on, it wasn't really noticeable, more so than a hardcover bookcover is noticeable after a while when you read a book. It folds over fine behind the Kindle.
I'm happy with this cover. Sure, I could have bought a cheaper neoprene one but I wanted something that made me feel good about an e-reader. It may sound weird, but I like it from an aesthetics standpoint. It makes me feel like I've got a proper book in my hands instead of a toy or a gadget.
Well designed, provides good protective padding August 27, 2010

My Kindle 3 and cover arrived today. The cover is fairly similar to the Kindle 2 cover design, but with an elastic strap that can be used to hold the cover closed, or to hold the cover behind the Kindle when you are reading.
I bought the cover mostly to protect my Kindle when I'm traveling. The cover front and back are both tough and well padded, with a soft felt lining and look like they should provide good protection. The overall appearance is reasonably elegant.
The cover clips on easily and securely. The Kindle 3 has two small slots on the left side and two clips on the cover latch into these slots. You can slide the top clip down to unlatch and release the Kindle.
I have somewhat mixed feelings about the elastic strap. I know some people like to be able to securely close the cover, but for me it's mostly an unnecessary extra step. I will try it for a while: it looks easy enough to snip off if it becomes a nuisance.
The Kindle 3 + cover total around 0.7" thickness. So the cover is roughly doubling the Kindle's natural 0.335" thickness. But since I want protective padding, this seems like a price I need to pay!
Overall, I'm very happy with the cover.
Cover Band August 28, 2010

I have to hand it to the designers at Amazon. If nothing else, they listen to our comments and react.
The cover is fabulous. It's a piece of nice leather lined with quality padding and soft felt. It folds all the way back without any difficulty, making reading with one hand a breeze. The band helps to show which way the Kindle inside is facing, and keeps the reader from opening the cover the wrong way, which damaged many K2's. The corners are softly rounded, adding to the comfort and ease of use.
The patent-pending hinge is a work of genius. None of the Kindle is obstructed by bands or elastic straps. It securely locks the Kindle in place, leaving the whole device exposed.
I have to remark on the quality leather. Even my wife, who over-criticizes almost everyting, was very impressed with the fine-grade pebble-grain leather and actually had nice things to say after opening and inspecting it. If you knew my wife, you would know the value of this comment.
Unlike some other readers out there, Kindle makes available a custom-designed cover that works in concert with the device. I'm satisfied with the cover (and the Kindle3) and give it my highest recommendation.
Objective info that may be helpful - light or not, colors September 5, 2010

Have a good scale and have now seen all cover colors, so here's data to help you pick. VERY well made cover.
Weights are for the cover only, not including the Kindle:
Cover without light -- 170 grams or 6 ounces
Cover WITH light -- 240 grams or 8-1/2 ounces
Only you know whether the 2-1/2 ounce difference in weight is worth carrying all the time to have a light always at hand.
The most accurate depiction of the cover colors is the photograph at the bottom of the sales page.
Burnt Orange -- same shade as a basketball
Burgundy Red -- closer to a vibrant brick red as it has no purple overtone
Steel Blue -- pure grey blue which shows well on web page
Hot Pink -- deeper shade than it appears anywhere but photograph
Green -- picture a Granny Smith apple
Brown -- very deep brown, not a chocolate color
Glad I went ahead and got it.... September 4, 2010

After reading the reviews I was concerned that the light might be an issue since several folks commented that it doesn't shine evenly on the page. But I wanted something that would allow me to read in bed without disturbing my husband and the clip on lights are a pain to fuss with and are way too bright I think. Anyway, the light on the cover is just fine. Yes, it is a little dimmer at the bottom of the page but still quite readable. It is not one of those intensely bright lights that you have to kind of avert your gaze from. And it will not disturb anyone else trying to sleep.It kind of reminds me of my childhood days of reading a book under the covers with a flashlight except that you don't feel like you're going to suffocate.
The second thing that some people didn't like was the added weight of this cover. The added weight is what I really like. The Kindle itself is so thin and light....for me TOO light. It feels so fragile and un-book-like. The cover gives it that little bit of heft that turns it into a book. I especially like to bend the cover all the way back and hold it either in both hands or in my left hand while I eat popcorn and drink champagne cocktails with my right.
This is just one woman's opinion but I think can assure you that the light is adequate and very handy. And the weight is not a burden and may make it more of a normal reading experience for you as it does for me. Hope this helps if you are on the fence.
