Marware Eco-Flip Kindle Flip Case (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Black

I just ordered the Marware Eco-Flip Kindle Flip Case (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Black, from Amazon.

It has no metal hooks and uses a different method to retain the Kindle.

Since I only have problems when my Kindle WiFi is being carried in my wife's purse when we are travelling, I suspect those metal hooks are shorting the unit and going into a Radio Shack store with background electrical noise may have aggravated the situation.

If I go one month without any problem with the new cover, then my theory will be proven. We shall see. Its worth a shot since when I google the problem just too many seem to have it. It appears only the WiFi version is affected and not the 3G version.

It also appears that firmware 3.0.1 nullified the hook problem since I had no problems then for 2 months. All the other versions from 3.0.0, 3.0.2 and now 3.0.3 have had the problems.

In any event Amazon CS is just researching this problem now. They took my data but offered no solutions.
