handcrafted bookcase for kindle

hey, fellow kindle users. about a year ago, I fell with the Kindle. being a bit head for 30 years I have spent years searching for an e-reader I could love- one that I felt really replaced a traditional hardbound book. then came the Kindle.

Immediately, I hated the included case. I have searched high and low. I really did not want a sleeve, or neoprene rubber, I wanted a case that felt like a book. so i decided to make my own. I think I have come up with something pretty different. something i plan on marketing on a custom basis. It is a hidden book design, similar to an examples I have seen elsewhere, possibly somewhere on this forum. I have gone through about 6 prototypes to get to one that works. It looks like a leather bound book, can be held in one hand with one side folded back, or easily removed, being held in with velcro "dots". I have been using one of the prototypes for a couple of weeks now, throwing it in my laptop case, bringing it with me everywhere. very durable. I have attached some pictures. one of the special things about this kind of case, is everyone is unique. tell me what you think. I will be selling this one on ebay. but I really wanted to see what people who own kindles think.

thanks
