I have had that particular Tuff-luv cover + the official Kindle cover without light. I'm waiting for my new M-Edge Trip Kindle Jacket.

The Tuff-luv cover is quite nice, but I didn't like the velcro solution. Magnets would have been a better solution in my opinion. The quality is other than that really good, but the *real* leather is only a fraction of a mm thick. The padding is good, front and back and gives good protection, no doubt. This is partly because the padding can hold some air inside which in turn gives a really good shock absorption.

I brought it because I wanted to read in bed with the built-in stand, but in my experience it was actually more of a hassle because it's more bulky and because I use my legs as natural stands instead.

If you really need a cover with a stand than I would buy this one insteed:

It's only 11 quid and *real* leather, probably only a thin layer, though.

The stand is most likely only valid as a thing to use in bed if you like to have your legs streched out falt. I personally find that really uncomfetable and unnatural; besides who uses a book stand for normal paperbacks books? So why should you need a stand for your Kindle? Just how I look at it, mate.

Cheers
