It be nice if the PW2 is lighter in weight but yeah Amazon will probably make a whole new case for it.

I'm pretty excited! I've never gotten a case or cover for anything before, partly because it annoyed me to spend $100+ on a sleek-looking device and then have to spend another $30-$50 on something that covers it up. But in this case, I really believe that this cover will add beauty to the Kindle as well as protect it. Quote:

Yes, the dimensions will likely be just different enough that it'll need a new case. A shame as I really love this case. Hopefully any new cases will be just as nice.

When - not if - I get the PW2, I will make myself be patient and wait for slim aftermarket cases to come out. They are so much cheaper, and some are even nicer looking than the official case (I'm not crazy about the large silver buckle).

I bought the black cover. Basically, Amazon took a leaf from Sony's book (funny how these expressions survive into new technology - we still "dial" phones...) - the T1 case - and improved it, in terms of looks & functionality. It seems to weigh a little more, though.
I got black because a color border on the KP would irritate me. I hated the cases which held the Kindle in place with straps, and disliked the ones where the device slipped into a case leaving case edgings that were not exactly in alignment. A little OCD of me, I guess. The effect of the standard Amazon case, and the Sony case, is to give the EBR a beveled edge. The on/off feature of the cover is very nice.

I can use the tinfoil to make a hat so Amazon can't tell what I'm reading. |

Gee, sparkle... Way to stomp on my feelings. How do I get to be one of "us"?
Thank YOU for letting me know the cover even existed. It's not perfect, but I like it a lot. Quote:
Part of it is that there are nearly no moving parts. Part of it is that I don't have to play with it for the optimal font setting for the current light. It just works! magic... or magyk, or something. |

Once you enter the mobile read lair and start posting about things like e-reader cases, you ARE one of us. I'm glad you like the case.

The Kindle Paperwhite cover is hands-down the best cover I've ever had. Since it's identical to the Kindle Basic Kindle cover, without the magnetic clasp, I obviously see that clasp as a major improvement. I no long have to hunt for the damned little black button on the black case and know I've found it with the green light comes on. Now, it's just like opening a book and reading.
Oh, mine's black. I've never cared much for pretty on book covers. |

I got the cover! I love it. The color is every bit as gorgeous as I had hoped it would be, and I doubt the color border will bother me at all. It's definitely not as orange as the pictures. It's a beautiful coral color, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
