Yep. I didn't particularly like the looks of it in photos but I bought it anyway. I do feel it looks better in person and out of the case. Unlike most people, I prefer the naked Kindle (scandalous, I know). I use the case when I'm out but at home, it's live nude Kindle. Though I find the design quite ergonomic I would prefer some other changes to the physical form. The case color does not appeal to me and I think the keyboard could have been integrated in a more stylish manner. However, while I like for objects in my life to be both beautiful and functional, I will always weigh function more heavily than form. I would pay more for a reader than pleased my eyes, but it would still need to have all my high-priority features.
