A few opinions about the ebay cover. As I said it is the same as sold by
amazon.com.
The comments there persuaded me.
Material:
It is cheap synthetic leather and the Kindle looks like a slim personal organizer. The stitches are not perfectly aligned and the fold between the two covers is slightly askew.
But it is really durable and fits the Kindle perfectly. The covers are strengthened by metal plates and do not bend much. So that's great for carrying the Kindle in bags (no cracks on the screen). Also the fastener is not a mechanic button, it is magnetic. It closes almost automatically.
So in my opinion the cover is really protective.
The internal pocket is no thread. After one week I haven't noticed it scratching or even touching the screen.
Most times the Kindle with cover is lying in my left hand just as a book would, so my right hand is free. Flipped to the back you get 2.5-3x the size of the Kindle and the cover overhangs 3cm on the left side. So that's not the prefered way to use it.
Shipping took 13 days to Germany. I ordered it with the Kindle and it arrived one day ahead
