The Klevercase looks great, but really is a poor option for the Voyage. It isn't a smart case, and doesn't even have a cutout for the power button. The Voyage "sticks" on to the back cover. It's a generic case for a bunch of similar sized devices. Now, if they make a cutout, and make a snap on for the Voyage like the Paperwhite, then you'd have something.

On Klevercases site, they even say that the Klevercase is not a good option for Ereaders with power buttons on the back. I emailed this to gearzap, hoping for clarification, and the silence was deafening.

Hopefully Klevercase will make a Voyage specific case in the future, but the case gearzap is selling as a Voyage case is not recommended as a Voyage case by Klevercase. Whew--that is one ugly sentence.

What do people think of the non-leather Amazon case? My Best Buy didn't have it in stock yet so I couldn't look at it when I bought my Voyage. I have a leather one on order in red. Won't be delivered until the 17th. Wondering if I should cancel my order and go with the non-leather in purple.

I like it a lot. It has a finely stippled texture a bit like leather, but I doubt it would fool anyone into thinking it's leather (then again, I prefer the look of honest plastic over fake leather).

The origami feature is great for hands-free reading while eating. I'm a little worried that constant folding will fatigue the joints, but time will tell.

My biggest complaint is that it doesn't work well with the new placement of the power button on the Voyage. Let's say I have the cover folded back while reading and then set aside the Voyage for a few minutes. The Voyage goes into sleep mode, and I have to pry the cover off the back of the Voyage to get at the power button. A minor annoyance, but one they could have avoided by keeping the Paperwhite's placement of the power button.

I looked at it in Best Buy and thought it was really nice. I think you'd be fine going for it over the leather case. They only had the black in stock though, no colors.

I got at Best Buy. Only available in black. It is not the prettiest thing in the world, as it looks and feels like rubber, but it works great and I like it. I also wonder about whether repeated folding of the origami stand will eventually wear it out, but I suspect that the fake leather would wear out and crack even faster along the folds [don't know that it would; just speculating].

I have the leather one in red (the color is darker than what is pictured on Amazon). It has a pebbled texture which is quite nice. At first I was a bit put off by the flip flop movement of the front cover when opening it, but I have become used to it. The Voyage looks great in this cover

Thank you for your input, everyone. My red cover has shipped and will be arriving soon. That's 2 weeks earlier than they estimated! Hooray!

What's involved to make a return to Amazon if I decide I don't want this Incipio cover anymore? I really don't like the way it folds back. Makes it awkward to hold.

Just go into your Your Account / Your Orders page on Amazon and click the Return or Replace Item button next to the item. You can also call them if you can find the phone number.

Thanks. What I really mean is what happens after that? How do you actually ship the product back?

Does anyone know any cheaper Voyage cases (US) that have an elastic strap on the back (when the case is open) so the fingers can hold it (without thumb). Either a full strap down the back, or partial pocket one?

Like this: http://tuff-luv.com/e-readers/amazon...age-black.html

Preferably very thin and light, not a heavy fat stitched leather one.

Thin examples:

HotCool: http://www.amazon.com/HOTCOOL-Amazon.../dp/B00KD7ZRJ4
VSTN: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-ultra-t.../dp/B00NOLKT6W
ACCase: http://www.amazon.com/-ACcase-SmartS.../dp/B00NSBYPNQ

Also, anyone have reviews of these? Any good?

Amazon sends you an email with a link to a shipping label you can print.

So you supply your own box?

You can just use the original packaging the item came in. Cover up the old labels or tear them off.

The label will be prepaid and you can drop the item off at any UPS drop off center.

If I have something coming UPS then I just give it to the driver and he takes it. I make sure I stay within the return window.
