My Marware Eco Vue cover (comes in black only) just showed up yesterday. So far I like it with my white K3. I promised I'd post pictures; I'll try to get to that this weekend.
This is my first Kindle cover to hold the device with an all-around pocket with cutouts for the display, ports, buttons and keys. I had a case like that for my Dell Axim a few years ago and liked it, so this feels familiar. I like the protection it offers, because my K3 rides on its side in my messenger bag.
The cover has a slot for very thin objects -- no room for a notebook (some folks care about this). My thought on seeing the slot in photos: "hotel room key." In the summer, perhaps "bus pass." This has borne out. Very thin objects only.
I like the hand-strap a lot. It's one of my reasons for choosing this cover, and is really comfortable and feels secure. Now that I actually have the cover, though, I am as concerned about the durability of its elastic closure as I was when I ordered it. Amazon definitely got that right with its bungee. My Amazon K2 cover is still going strong.
On the whole, I think I prefer the Amazon cover, but didn't want to pay $60 for the lighted one and didn't want to risk messing up my device with the unlighted one. I have two covers for my K2, which I am now giving to my sister -- with the K2 -- after less than 2 years. For such a short period of owning a device I don't want to spend a lot on a cover.
