Well here goes an attempt to post a picture. I have an Amazon cover which is very good and may provide better protection, but since I got the Marewear I have dropped the Amazon cover. I really like the flip opening. The cover opens easily. It's a neater package. In the opened photo you can see a strap that your hand slids into if you feel it's necessary. This way when you fall asleep the kindle will not fall on the floor.
