I know the “which cover” question is all about personal preference but some key info isn't available on the web.
I’m looking for a Kindle DXG case cover that can:
1) Easily stay closed when shut;
2) Easily stay open, when folded around so it can be held in one hand;
3) Doesn’t add much weight/bulk to the Kindle; and
4) Offers some protection (more than a naked Kindle).
Still not sure about the latch mechanism. Most cover manufacturers seem to have abandoned the latch for their DX covers. Inside straps seem to work fine provided they don’t cover up the beautiful face of the DXG or cover anything they shouldn’t (like buttons). I don't like the covers the use a form of sleeve to hold the Kindle in place. Good protection but too much cover.
The covers that seem to work best for what I want are:
1) Old DXG Amazon Leather – I think this one has magnets to help keep the Kindle in place and hold the cover open and shut. The lack of redundant straps to prevent cracking has me nervous
.
2) New DXG Amazon Leather (with the outside strap) - Not sure if this one has magnets in it or not. If not, then the outside strap is the only thing that will keep it closed or hold it open. And there’s that cracking risk
.
3) Moleskine - Seems bulky and inside straps seem to have bad placement. I wonder if it would be good if I removed the notepad. Anyone know?
4) M-Edge Go! - No method to keep it closed or open. Otherwise this seems to be the best option. I don't like the long leather strap that the other M-Edge cases use.
Any thoughts? Any other suggestions?
