I was pleasantly surprised when I received my case earlier this week. Having read some of the reviews I thought it might be bulky – but not so. I like the way it folds back on itself to enable you to zip it up again making it so easy to handle when reading (no need to take it out of case to read) and no problem accessing the on off switch too, so another bonus. The strap at the back makes it feel secure in your hand whilst reading. I also managed to put the usb cable in the zipped pouch at the front – perfect, stops me from losing it! The prime reason for buying this version was because it closed securely and stops anything in your bag getting between the Kindle and the cover and damaging it (this seems to be a problem with the leather version without a clasp). It appears to be very well made and can only think that a previous reviewer had a dodgy one and suggests he returns it for an exchange! All in all a good buy, great colour and I would recommend it.

I bought this cover for my daughter’s new Kindle and it is perfect. The corner holders hold the Kindle snugly in place, the inside is soft and easy on the screen whilst the outside feels sturdy. The internal pocket is big enough to hold the USB cable that is supplied with the Kindle, which is useful for stopping it going astray. It is also just the right shade of pink for a 9 year old girl! All in all it complements the Kindle perfectly.

To be fair, the product in itself looks very nice, is well conceived, and its overall quality is good. To me, the main problem is that it is overpriced. It also has small imperfections (e.g., it makes the on/off switch of the kindle difficult to activate; the four elastic threads that holds the kindle are not very good and depending on how they are adjusted they sometimes obscure the corners of the screen; the outside pocket is tiny and more aesthetic than functional). Another, more surprising thing that disappointed me is that the product I received was VERY SMELLY. It smelt some kind of glue, acrylic paint, or something like this. It smelt so much that it made me sneeze. To reiterate, this is a good product that in itself would deserve 5 stars, but its price, and surprisingly its smell, make that for me it is not worth more than 3 stars.
