I'll keep the nicest purple and pass on the other one. I'll have only 2 PW but 3 covers. Bad bad aceflor. But bad bad bad xendula too
two have arrived : the orange one, an almost exact copy of the kindle original cover including the pattern on the front, and the purple from my last link (xendula's last too).

The orange only difference to the original one, judged from amazon pics since I don't have an original one at all, is that the plastic back is black, not orange, but it is covered with this orange semi-leather (whatever it is). The color is lovely to me. The cover weighs 112g. The wakeup function works perfectly well.

The purple one is splendid too, weighs 75g, and the structure of the front is different than the exact copy one and than amazon. It is basically the same pattern, but much finer. It is very light, and thin, but I am not sure it would protect the kindle really well because it is so thin it feels like a big envelope rather than a cover (do I make sens ?). The wakeup function works here too.

Edit: I put a drop of water on both. The Orange one, which seems to be coated, does not mark at all, the purple does, and takes some time to dry. But is as good as new once it is dry. I would not use it while eating a subs though, so I think I'll use the orange on the old PW (which will be in my bag) and the purple on the new one.

Here some pics for you guys : first both covers, then the inside of the purple one and finally the inside of the orange one.
