Customer Reviews

I purchased this in advance of the release of the Kindle Fire because it appeared to be simple and relatively inexpensive. Well, it is both of those, plus the purple color is far more muted than in the picture presented and it makes it look rather impressive. It feels wonderful (like leather) and doesn't add to the bulk of the Kindle at all. A great purchase. I would highly recommend this to family and friends, or purchase it for my brother as an inexpensive Christmas gift.

This cover is probably as basic as it gets. The first thought I had was "wow, this was $30"? Looking at it, it seems like it should cost half that. It does seem like it will do a good enough job protecting the outside from things like minor scratches, but the 3 outer sides of the kindle are pretty exposed- at least the straps do a pretty good job of keeping the kindle in place, but here is no kind of padding at all. It is help closed my a magnetic strap that seems to function adequately. I don't think this cover would do any good if you dropped the kindle, but I don't think it was designed for that. A big minus for me is that this case does NOT function as a stand.
So overall, extremely basic, low to average quality, but will probably do a good enough job if you never take your kindle outside the house...but at $30 it seems really overpriced. I have to say I like the "Splash Signature Folio" cover much better- it's the same price, provides better protection, and functions as a stand.
