Customer Reviews

TERRIFIC ITEM, but really need INSTRUCTIONS on how to use
I know several reviewers have been negative about this cover, but I'm absolutely convinced it's because there are NO instructions with this item that explain how to properly insert the Kindle, and trying to do it the "intuitive" way doesn't work - the actual use is counter-intuitive. That said, once you figure out how to use it correctly (though you get no help in doing so because there are NO instructions/diagrams, etc) then this is a marvelous cover and a particularly marvelous value. If the company selling these would just include some instructions, they'd save themselves a lot of really unnecessary returns and poor reviews. This IS a 5-star item, but I absolutely understand how some buyers have gotten frustrated with it - see below for directions on how to use it properly.

When I first received this cover I grabbed my Kindle and tried to do what you'd intutively think to do, given the design - slide the Kindle in from the bottom, to secure it in the two side and one top clips. It became clear real quick that doing so could damage the Kindle. So I sat and looked at it for a minute and it finally occurred to me to try the COUNTER-intutive way - and it worked PERFECTLY.

Here's the CORRECT way to use this cover. I tried it last night several times, removing and replacing it, when used this way it's NO PROBLEM at all. You simply start from the top instead of the bottom. Holding the Kindle, insert the BOTTOM of the Kindle into the two side clips - slide the Kindle into those two bottom clips and then slide it just a bit further so the top of your Kindle clears the top clip. Once it's cleared the top clip and is laying flat, just slide it back up a bit so it pops into the top clip. That's IT - it's that simple.

I admit, when I first opened it and tried it the other way (sliding it in from the bottom, all the way up, which SEEMS like the way to do it because there's no bottom clip) I was frustrated. But once I figured out how to do it correctly it became VERY easy to insert or remove if I need to. Like I said, the guys selling this SERIOUSLY need to at least photocopy some instructions and include it when shipping.

Once in properly, I will say I was VERY impressed with how the clips hold the Kindle securely. I tried shaking it out, but it never budged. And inserted correctly there was no possibility of damaging my Kindle. I was concerned, when I first saw it on Amazon, that it wouldn't stay because of the lack of a bottom clip, but that's just not a problem. The lack of the bottom clip is purposeful, so you can slide the bottom of the Kindle in and slide it down a bit further until it clears the top clip. Once in place the clips are very secure.

The packaging on this item made me a bit wary - it comes in a simple plastic sleeve without any real labeling or instructions or anything. But the item itself is NICE! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the back "access panel" that makes the power and whispernet button's easily accessible - that's worth it's weight in gold and if/when Amazon ever does come out with a newer Kindle version they DEFINITELY need to build that feature into their stock covers.

I played with both this cover and my stock cover last night, and I think for regular at home reading I'll continue to use the stock cover only because I prefer the way it sits in my hand, but for those times when I'm out at a restaurant eating or am at home using it while I'm eating, I'll switch it to this cover - the "easel" stand feature is just WONDERFUL, and is actually the primary reason I was interested in this cover. No more propping my Kindle against the salt shaker or whatever at restaurants!! And when I travel with the Kindle it will be in this cover.

The clip on book light that comes with this cover is also a nice feature. I just got mine last night and haven't even inserted batteries in the light yet, but the lamp itself is super - nice long, flexible neck, an unobtrusive light, sturdy clip.

Overall, I'm extremely pleased. I'll return stuff on the drop of a dime if I'm not pleased, but this is staying. It will be invaluable when I need to prop the Kindle up. Once closed and snapped shut it's also just plain ATTRACTIVE.

A better Kindle Case
I just got this package and I am quite pleased. Firstly, the case is an improvement over the one that the Kindle comes with. It has a slimmer profile and a cutout in the back, for the switches. (The original case does not, and I found it was starting to bend, from reaching under it,to turn the device on or off.) It holds the Kindle very securely and I like the snap closure. I am confident that it will stay closed. Also,I am among those who like the fact that this case can stand up, freeing your hands.

Secondly, the light is nice. It takes AAA batteries, which you can get anywhere, cheaply. (Button batteries are more expensive, less available and often harder to put in.) The light can stand on its own or clip to the case. I clip it to the top. If positioned well, it gives off light that is adequately bright, without causing any glare. And, since it has an LED, you will not have to replace a bulb.

I highly recommend this package.

Form follows function
The flip-back format makes my Kindle so easy to use whether standing while I have a bite to eat or simply reading in hand. The cutout on the back makes the buttons accessible and the edge gives a place to grip without accidental page-turns. The design for holding the Kindle in place is very secure, yet still easy to remove intentionally to access the internal bits. Cover has protective stiffness w/o pressing on the face or clicker button.

Am very pleased!
