My thoughts and review on Amazon:



II was looking forward to using this with my Kindle.
Unfortunately it is one of the many items I bought that were not practical.

One major issue that I have with it, is that the skin covers the silver cursor bar. Even though it kinda shines though it, the visibility of it is quite impaired, making use of the silver cursor next to impossible.

I was thinking of using a xacto knife and cut the cursor window in the skin myself, but users of end products like this shouldn't have to go through this process. I can only imagine this to be more pronounced on the pink and black skins. So I am opting for a refund instead.

The skin is thick and though it adds adequate protection to the Kindle, it adds bulk. Also the texture and gripability (is there such a word?) of the Kindle are not as good with it. It feels kinda slippery; not very encouraging for an item protecting your $400 investment.

Perhaps those issues can be fixed with a v.2 product, but as it stands I cannot recommend it... Sorry Kroo, please fix.
