Need help finding a good non-leather Kindle 3 cover

I've been trying to find a good cover for my Kindle 3, with no luck yet. I've tried several from M-Edge. One was too slippery to hold, one would have been perfect if the bottom loops for holding the Kindle had been sewn in properly (the Kindle could fall right out -- I tried that cover twice, with the same defect in both), and one which is supposed to stand upright won't stand upright.

My father has an excellent Kindle cover, from Marware, which would be absolutely perfect, except for one detail: it's made of leather. I'm a vegetarian, so leather is out.

I like the look of the Eco-nique hemp cover, from i-Nique, but I'm concerned about all the snap closures. I don't think the Kindle is sturdy enough for repeated snappings. Also, the snap which holds the Kindle in place makes a visible dent on the front of the cover, which leads me to believe there might be unwanted stress placed on the Kindle at that point.

I love the look of Oberon covers, but they're all leather, and they only do custom orders of fifty or more.

Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I could go with either a book-style or flip cover, as long as it can be folded all the way back (or over) for ease of reading. I wouldn't mind an integral stand, but I'm sure I can prop it up on something if it doesn't have one.
