Now how do I reset this so it doesn't contain all my personal stuff?
Home>Menu>Settings>Deregister

I believe that will wipe your Kindle.

Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Reset to Factory Defaults

You can also deregister the device while in Settings.

did you try squeezing it together? I carry mine in my coat pocket & the case opens up (often much worse than that) once or twice a week.

I didn't want to try. Knowing me, I'll break another piece off.

NO! That's a sleeve. It's not a case. It won't help at all if the Kindle is not in the sleeve when it's dropped. Waste of money too as it won't fit a Kindle with a case. So if you actually want some protection when you are using the Kindle, a sleeve isn't it. I just don't get why so many people feel a sleeve is OK when it's really not.

Because they're not you?
Or because they've carefully weighed their options between protection and preference/comfort and made a conscious informed decision—that incidentally isn't life or death—about what might work best for them?
Or maybe they just like living on the edge.

Do you have to challenge everything? gosh! ...

fyi, I dropped my Kindle (about 5 feet maybe) two times with Kindle inside and nothing happened! Great protection! It has a lot of cushion inside, bubbles, which helps absorbing the energy while falling! I actually believe is better than other cases without this same design which are more expensive too.

Not everything is black and white Jon ...
