I agree with kindlekitten here. The leather is nice & thick, and has a plastic sheet inside both sides to keep it stiff. The front cover has felt where it makes contact with the screen, so you're good there.
One thing I worried about before I got mine was impact resistance. So I bought one of the Belkin neoprene cases instead. I dropped my Kindle probably 4 ft. down onto asphault and of course it landed right on the bottom right corner. But I think the Belkin sleeve saved it from major damage. As it is, the aluminum back where the side seam comes together is a little bent now.
In retrospect, I think the Oberon case would have protected it even better, since the double layer of thick leather protrudes out past the edge of the Kindle.
I went with the straps because I also have a skin on my Kindle. If not for that, I would have surely gone with velcro, as it would hold it even more securely. Especially so with a K3, as then there will be no issues with straps overlapping buttons.
There is a video clip on Oberon's website that shows an employee shaking the hell out of one of their strap-in cases with a K2 in it and it holds great.
