Accessories Nice, the Amazon Stock cover

MsAstoria · 02-26-2009, 03:24 PM

Cool, this arrived two days early! I like the stock Amazon leather cover ($29.99). Snaps into the slots on the left and folds back out of the way for one handed reading. My Mighty bright light kept sliding off the new K2 but now I can clip it on the folded back part of the cover and it stays put! Plus, when the might bright light is attached, it elevates the e-book a nice height when on a table top for easy hands free reading. Notice how the cover just "disappears" when the cover is folded back. Nice!
Now if we could just get a pink one to go with the pink Kindle from Stephen King's book, UR!

I agree. It's a nice cover and the price is good.

bwaldron · 02-26-2009, 04:18 PM

Looks like quite an improvement over the cover supplied with the K1.

Gideon · 02-26-2009, 04:21 PM

Yeah, I'm really happy with it, too. Very simple and sleek and it won't fall out!

Octochick · 02-26-2009, 07:16 PM

I am not crazy about the logo on the front, or the color, or lack there of. However, it does sound like an improvement over the previous cover.

Could someone measure the dimensions of the thing with a K2 installed? I want to compare it with dimensions that I'm going to ask from M-edge's new Prodigy K2 covers (with the hinge...)...

I want a cover...and these are the leading contenders in my head (they're the only ones with the little hinge clips...).

Desertgrandma: do you feel like maybe you'd want a strap to hold the cover closed, or that you wish there were a way to secure the kindle against the back cover of the cover? Those are the main distinguising points in my head between the Amazon and the M-edge covers. The M-edge one has pockets on the inside, but that's not that important to me...just more places for me to stuff stuff that I probably don't need to keep.
:-P

I love the amazon cover. I had pre-purchased the oberon k2 cover but have since canceled it. The k2 is wonderful...

I can add my name to the list of satisfied users. Another nice "bonus" for me is that it makes it look like an appointment book, so I don't get any funny looks when it is sitting around my desk at work ;-)

BobLenx · 03-03-2009, 11:14 AM

Agree. Ordered my Kindle-2 with the stock cover from Amazon and it works fine and dandy. Easy to handle and it covers/proects the Kindle screen. The new locking system keeps it in place - no sliding around.

It looks good but what about the smell? I noticed the smell when I took mine out of the shipping box tonight. I'm letting it lay around awhile before I put my Kindle in it. I usually like the smell of leather, but this is something else entirely......

OK, I just received mine; when I put my nose right too it, yes, the odor is HIGH!! I will just about guarentee this is simply a glue/adhesive odor from manufacture, and that it will dissipate rather quickly once it is left exposed to the atmosphere.

Other than this, I agree---it seems to be a nice $30 cover; I REALLY like the hinge.

YMMV!!

Kathy,

I got my Amazon cover on Saturday. I didn't notice the smell until someone mentioned it

but now, I can only smell it if I stick my nose in the cover.

You're right that it most certainly doesn't smell like leather, but it seems like it should go away in a couple days.

I got the cover with my new K2. It does have a smell... like a new car smell =P

You make a good point, there! Camoflage can be a good thing.

That's why I'm looking forward to getting the Oberon cover. I am also going to get a Journal and Calendar cover for work. Having them together often I am hoping will keep suspicion away.
