Thanks for this tip, sleepy. Best Buy, justifying my trust in their return policy, just let me bring in my receipt for my two-week-old K3, and rang me up with the free cover. Yea! They were out of most colors so I got purple.

Now, as I have no need for a purple MEdge executive jacket, I'm going to sell it, and recoup the sales tax I paid to get my K3 locally.
They have a buy and sell section for accessories, here, right?

yep, the flea market

I purchased a cover from ebay. I went really cheap as I just wanted something to protect the Kindle without great expense.

You are welcome. I'm actually thinking of getting a purple cover myself. I want the Executive with the molded holder. What are your thoughts of the cover material itself? Is it leather? I'm going to try to get to Best Buy tomorrow.

It feels very nice, and a bit 'leather-like' but I don't think its leather. I'm sure the website would have mentioned it if it was.
Considering that the cover is large enough to conceal one of the medge lights, and it has some extra material for the pockets, it feels very light. It's packaged on a card and otherwise exposed, so you'll be able to handle it in the store.

Yes I am. I lived in fear of spilling something on my Kindle. It's strange how you want to read more on the Kindle.

I want only to protect the kindle with a kind of sleeve (just like the one that comes with the PRS-600). Which do you guys recommend?

Well, I'm glad I trotted down to Best Buy to see the Executive Jacket in person. "Leather Like" is a good description. I really want a real leather cover, so I guess I will pass on it. The Go Jacket wasn't too bad. I wish M-Edge made a high quality leather case so I can use my free light with it. I should be content with my Amazon lighted cover, I suppose.

Thanks, ApK. Still not what I had in mind. I'll keep looking. I'm way too picky, I know!

Good evening...recently purchased the basic kindle and was looking for a thick silicone slip on cover for it...I had read earlier about an individual who bought what he thought was a thick silicone cover and ended up with something like mactack...Anyone know of a good place to buy such a cover

you mean a cover that can technically (however difficultly) be taken on and off, not a skin? I had one for my K1, I got it from Amazon. I don't remember who made it, but would suggest doing a search there with silicone cover + K3

welcome to the forums!

Finally bought a Kindle today. I can't wait until Friday!

After much debate I decided to go with a homemade cover from http://www.etsy.com/shop/vintagecovers?ref=seller_info. He basically takes apart old books and turns the covers into ereader covers. I purchased one of the Hardy Boys novel, very excited to get it. Will post again when I get the cover and my Kindle and let you guys know what I think.
