I'm a hinged guy (although I have been accused of being unhinged, from time to time).
Also, I would not buy a Kindle DX on the basis of 3G browsing. The DX is great as a b&w e-reader, with a larger screen which nicely accommodates many pdfs, and has all the bonuses of Amazon's amazing customer care and bookstore. If what you are looking for is a netbook substitute (emails, web browsing, online chatting), really, go with a netbook or double your investment and consider an iPad.
Kindle is optimised for e-book reading. If that fits your bill, you'll be very pleased with your purchase. For protection, the leather hinged cases are optimal. For he majority of your reading holding the Kindle solo, any of the slip cases are preferable.
Do let us know how things work out once you've enjoyed your Kindle for a week or so.
