Poor System for holding the KindleSeptember 27, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the second one of these I have received. The little plastic piece that is to hold the back of the Kindle is glued to leather which becomes too loose to do its job and eventually breaks off.
Book Cover perfect complement to KindleSeptember 24, 2008 I have had my Kindle for approximately 2 months. I was initially concerned when I read the many negative reviews about the book cover. My own experience has been very positive. The Kindle book is securely latched in the cover as long as you understand that you should pick it up with the front up as you would any book. If you are really concerned about the Kindle falling out of the Book Cover, an elastic band is provided for additional security. But having said that, I seldom if ever use it and I am a very frequent traveler and have exposed the Kindle to all of the unexpected issues of travel without any serious incident. The design of the cover is such that it permits the folding of it to the back of the book which permits very easy holding of the Kindle with your left hand and easy access to all of the keys. The book cover has the appearance of soft leather and looks very professional. The Kindle Book Cover is in my opinion very well designed and integrates very well with the Kindle book.
Kindle CoverSeptember 20, 2008 The cover that comes with the Kindle is dreadful. I had problems with the Kindle falling out of the cover. Sometimes it was so difficult to hold that it would cause distractions while reading. I replaced the cover with a much better one and I no longer have a problem.
Worthless piece of junk!September 12, 2008 This book cover is pathetic by design.
OK, I am not a "moron" as one owner called another.
I can get the thing clipped into place.
The problem is keeping it in its place.
If you don't sit in just the proper style the thing comes out of its case.
I also tore the back cover of my Kindle off trying to get it back into its place.
For $25, why should I have to go out and purchase Velcro to justify Amazon's poor design?
This holder is a recipe for disaster and ruining your Kindle.
The elastic strap used for closing the Kindle is destined to wear down and break at some point.
It is not leather, which does not bother me in the least.
It is the shoddy design of this case.
Amazon should be ashamed to sell or even include this junk in conjunction for the Kindle.
Surely, the expensive price of the Kindle merits a quality case.
Cover falling offSeptember 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the Kindle for my wife as a wedding present because she loves to read. We are both very pleased with the product (not so much with the experimental internet browser, but that's not what I bought it for, so I wasn't expecting too much out of it...actually, it froze the first time she tried to use it and so we just avoid using it at all) but not so much with the cover. She's not having the problem everyone else is complaining of...If you bend the plastic tab a little, it holds the Kindle perfectly. The problem she is having is that it constantly making the back cover (where the SD card and battery are, not the back cover to the case) come off when she opens the Kindle cover or closes it. She doesn't have a problem when she is reading usually, but the back cover to the Kindle is constantly coming off. So the little tab is causing her a different kind of problem that you should also think about before buying this case. I would say just store it in the case and take the Kindle out to read. We love the Kindle, but they should have put more time into designing a much better case for it.
