Here are pictures of the T1 in the case, and with my preferred book light. The Kindle Touch is a bit wider, but the friction of the case lining keeps the T1 secure - no wiggling. And the corner pieces don't obscure the buttons like most of the other Kindle cases. |
I ordered a black case for my red T1 and it just came in today. Very nice, fits well, and I can hook the stylus on the inner seam so it's available for use. Ditto re no movement of the reader when in the case. The cover folds completely back for reading. I have had no problem using either the touch screen or the buttons, and the cover does not block the inputs and the on/off button on the bottom of the T1. I'd say it probably almost doubles the weight of the T1, but since I'm used to the weight of the PRS-350 with its metal case and the T1 is lighter than that, it isn't an issue for me. A two-handed hold is comfortable, as is a left-handed hold to use the buttons to turn the pages. The elastic band that holds the case closed fits into that notch that goes down the length of the front cover, so it's not likely to get pushed out of place when carried in a purse or knapsack. Quality seems okay, no stitching flaws.
Can't beat the price, too, especially if you're a Vine member and get the free shipping.
