I ordered the cover, a gelskin and some screen protectors a while back. The stated delivery time to Canada was 7-14 days after shipping. That turned out a touch optimistic by almost a week. But the package showed up and I'm relatively happy with result. I've not tried the charging equipment and I suspect I might not. But the rest of the stuff is as stated. Inexpensive and useable.

While I don't leave the cave very often, I now feel a little safer taking the K3 with me. I tug on the gelskin and then put it into the cover. It fits to the limit of what safely could be called fitting. I put the sponge liner that came with the packaging in the overleaf side of the cover and that's my total cocoon for the reader. It doesn't quite fit into my fall coat pocket in this form, but it does in my winter jacket. It's about twice the weight of a standalone K3 just measuring by heft. It's less of a one-handed reader with all the encumbrances, but a lap and one-hand works well. And so does two-handed reading.

For 25 bucks Canadian, tax and shipping all in, I have to say I'd make the sale again.

PS: Haven't tried the screen protectors, which most people dislike. Having extras means being able to run several tests. Which still might ultimately result in going without. But not being a neat freak, I have to admit to SOME worry about keeping the Kindle as clean as it deserveres--and needs--to be.
