So my black lighted leather cover for the Kindle touch just arrived, here are some observations:
- The Kindle sits very securely in the molded pocket. Much better than the gold hinges on the K3 cover.
- The swing out light is much better than the K3 version. It fires down over the screen instead of bending on a stem at an awkward angle. When I read the K3 in the dark that light would shoot all over the place.
- The front cover is very thin. I don't mind as I don't expect it to stop a bullet...just protect the screen in my bookbag.
- The leather might as well be fake/plastic. it doesn't really feel like leather at all.
Overall, I prefer this to the K3 version because it gets rid of the hinge system and better positions the light even though the "leather" is not as nice as the K3 version. I prefer function over beauty
