I got a similar cover, but I also see 2 that look the same, with slightly different descriptions. One says "fits latest generation kindles", the other days "fits 2nd generation Kindles"...
Wwhat I am wondering as a long time computer tech is HOW a simple basic leather cover could cause anything remotely like what these people are attributing to it? It holds it in place... to me it sounds like there is some other sort of interference causing the problem, and since this is the most popular cover sold and used for Kindles, this is the first and easiest scapegoat for the uneducated. If it is sitting in the backpack and getting jostled around, and various things pushing on the cover which is pushing random buttons, then it is most likely the movement, NOT the case causing these problems.

Personally I see it as people wanting to find an excuse to complain about something, and others jump on the bandwagon.

edit: forgot to mention that I believe a lot of these people may be the types that think they can be a lot more rough with their Kindles thinking the cover will protect it, thus better chance of damaging it, when that is not what these covers are designed for.
