Review by Michel Salim for Kindle Leather Cover, Hot Pink (Fits 6″ Display, Latest Generation Kindle)

On the first day of use, after only using the securing band a couple of times, the band suddenly snapped from the top of the cover. It turns out that it was only flimsily glued to a slot on the top edge. Some superglue fixed this, but it really should not have been necessary.
The cover holds the Kindle snugly, however, it’s a bit misaligned: the lower right side of the Kindle is more exposed than the upper right side.
All in all, I’d still have purchased it (though perhaps in a different color — black was the only one available when the pre-order process began), but had third party covers been updated for the 3rd generation Kindle (e.g. the Moleskine) this product would probably have been priced more affordably.

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.

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.

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

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.
