I just got one of the new DXG Kindles, which I dearly love because of the vastly improved screen, and I like the screen size, too - I had had a K1 since April, 2008. Wow - what a change!

I'm having trouble finding the 'perfect' cover - if it even exists. I got an M-Edge Platform that's ok - although I wish the inside were all suede feeling and not the harder leather on part of it. It's very protective. I used an M-Edge Executive on my K1 for 2 1/2 years. I didn't think I'd like the wider Executive that they're making now to accomodate the light, so I tried the Platform instead. Love the feel of the leather on the outside of the case, but I like to read with the case folded flat back, and the feel on the inside isn't as nice as my Executive cover for the K1.

So I then bought a used Oberon. It's beautiful, a real work of art. I think it protects the Kindle well; however, I'm slightly allergic to wool, as well as just plain not liking the feel of wool, and when I open it, fold it back to read, I find the feel of the wool on the inside of the cover to be distracting and irritating. If I didn't have an Oberon, I'd still want one, because they're so lovely - but I'm sure glad I got it used and didn't pay full price!

I think what I'd really like is a Noreve, altho I'm about spent out as far as cases are concerned. Can anyone tell me what the Noreve cases feel like on the inside, folded flat? And - does anyone know of something that's a lot like the Noreve, but not quite so expensive?

I read from my new Kindle for a couple of days with no cover when it first came - silly me, I'd actually thought I might send it back if I didn't like it, but I love it. I was scared to death I'd drop the naked Kindle, and feel better when it's in a cover. As soon as I realized it was for sure a keeper (took about 2 seconds to figure that out), I started looking for that elusive perfect cover . . .
