Most Customers probably know this (I did)! However, we are also looking for covers that look a little nicer (color, elegance, etc.). I really like the cover that looks like a book, but I do agree in way with you as well, that it does need to be able to hold with one hand & fold back so that you are not dealing with the top cover.

The cover is gorgeous & now that I have read all of the posts, it is very nice that you did make it to where it can be folded all the way back!

Please see top for link connecting my two threads on this cover for the original Kindle and Kindle 2. I'll be preparing and posting a tutorial soon on how to make this cover for Kindle 2. It's much easier than making the Kindle 1 version, so more people may be able to do it.

Artsci doesn't have the time to do this for me unfortunately, which I totally understand, but if there is anyone handy out there who could make this for my Kindle 1, I would pay materials + labor. I'm not crafty enough myself to do it.

Any takers? PM me and we can discuss the details.

Leonardo Kindle Cover
I would like to purchase one of these for my Kindle 2. Can I commission you to make one for me? Let me know the price, and I will pay shipping as well. It is really magnificent and the only way I will really use the new Kindle I got for my birthday.

Thanks!

Gorgeous, Artsci -- and the design might easily be modified to take other devices. You should market these. I'm very happy with a very swish soft leather flip-top cover for my Sony 505 and I'm the first to admit that a good, comfortable cover enhances the e-reading experience no end. And it silences all those cliched complaints about the feel, look and smell of 'real' books. Cheers and good luck. Here's karma to ya. Neil
