I've had my new kindle for a week and am using the m-edge cover which I got free w/purchase of the Kindle 3 at Bestbuy. It's not bad (and a pretty Valentine Red color) but the tongue-style flap closure gets in my way, and it already seems a bit worn where it bends. Also, this case has an extra 1" to the left, then an approximately 3/4" spine as well. That extra 1" to the left is probably for a light to fold down. I don't have a light at the moment, and that inch to the left seems cumbersome.

I'm tempted by the Oberon, as it looks slim-lined and has a wool felt interior. I suspect the tooled leather may be heavy though?
I don't find it terribly heavy, certainly not as a heavy as a book of similar size. I fold the cover all the way back quite often while eating and it gives just enough lift (albeit at an angle) for me to see over a plate when I am reading and eating. it also makes it very easy to use one finger for page turns.
