I just got the cover.
It's really practical; obviously it doesn't have any fancy design as the Oberon (I love those designs!); but it does its purpose.
Has 2 lower leather straps, and the top ones are elastic. The opening is a magnetic, a little clumsy, but it does that "Click" sound when it closed properly.
The kindle fits really well; not too tight, not too loose. I've read (other reviews) that if you use it with a skin, the kindle still fits in the straps and gets covered; but that its a little tighten.
The straps aren't pressing on any key, so no problem having something misclicked.
As said before; they only "con" could really be on the closing mechanism, as it's located almost over the screen; but I wouldn't worry, as there are 2 leather sheets and 1 faux velvet, between the mechanism and the kindle.
Now, I won't worry ifI want to carry it around the University in my backpack.
The PU leathr, is a synthetic leather, you can feel it when you touch it. It's not real leather, but seems like a good material.
Will see how the fabrics get overtime...my main concern would be the faux velvet thing...
