IMO a bit over priced
Just recieved it today. The leather finish is quite nice. However, the little leather holder on the inside keeps the cover from closing nicely. I'm not sure what it's for, business cards??? I'm OCD and like my toys to be perfect. The crease of the cover seems off as well. Although the leather quality is nice, I rate this ok. But not enough to return for a refund. I should have waited for another brand/model, but I wanted something now to protect my K2. Hope this helps.
Best wishes.

Update: the little pocket on the inside started to really bug me. So I removed it carefully. The cover closes nicely. Now I'm a happy camper. Looks great.
Nice leather, but poor Kindle case
I received my K2 on the day of release, and decided the next day I needed a cover. I read the various reviews, and decided to take a chance on this $99.99 black leather Cole Haan cover.
Pros: (1) The leather is beautiful.
Cons: (1) The top doesn't fold back neatly around to the back, like the cover on the K1 did. So that makes it a bit more awkward to read (though comparable to a book).
(2) The inside material on the leather leaves tiny bits of black fuzz on the K2, which show up against its stark white case;
(3) The elastic straps don't seem super secure -- for the price, Cole Haan should have taken advantage of the two mounting holes on the left side of the K2.
Great Quality Cover
Having made an investment in a Kindle, I wanted something of decent quality to cover it. I have to say, this cover really doesn't disappoint at all. It's lightweight and very well stitched together. My Kindle also fits snuggly into it without feeling like it's going to fall out at any time. The only thing that I really didn't need was the business card holder which slightly bothered me at first because it makes the cover stick up just a bit when I lay it down. However, I really can't complain that much; it would be useful to those who need it. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
