I wonder if Amazon has found that selling cases is more profitable than selling Kindles. Like the Coke to go with the burger at McDonalds.

Amazon have said that (I don't know about the Voyage, but certainly the older models) they sell Kindles at cost price; they make money from selling content, so yes, I'm absolutely certain that there's decent profit on the cases!

Update this morning from Square Trade is they have cancelled the warrenties at their end which Amazon Square Trade have cancelled and they will refund us directly into my bank account, bypassing Amazon completely. IF Amazon ever refund us we have agreed in writing to refund Square Trade.

Square Trade themselves couldn't have been more helpful and they have also experienced the appalling level of service from Amazon and apparently they will be raising it higher. (At least that's what I've been told)

Happy that you've got it sorted out. I'm really surprised that you had such trouble from Amazon: customer service is generally something they excel at.

It's only the Square Trade dept within Amazon that's the problem, the lady at Square Trade wondered if it's a training thing as they have an agreement with Amazon that the dept within Amazon do all Warrenty refunds, transfers etc, but when her supervisor talked to them yesterday they refused point blank to do anything. They never realised the Amazon dept was like that.

I ordered the Fintie Voyage case (Map version) which should come tomorrow.

I just received my Voyage yesterday, I was surprised at how well it fit in the original Paperweight leather case.
Of course it is a temp option since it will slide around in there but it sits pretty flush and the magnet keeps the case closed tight.

I hate to say it as right now I'm loath to give Amazon a penny but I've ordered the Orchid Origami case.

My black one might be on the Flea market after Christmas

Now is it worth listing on the Flea market my Fintie and Omoton cases?

Excellent choice (which one is the Orchid though?) I absolutely love my Voyage in its Origami cover - they're simply a perfect fit.

And the moral to my little trip into the world of third party covers is..........Don't!

Always buy the official cover first, even if you don't think you'll like it!

But I thought the reason you disliked the Origami cover was the fact that it wasn't a "book" cover, and so wouldn't give you the privacy you needed when reading. That hasn't changed, has it?

Personally I really, really like the Origami cover.

Nah... the moral is "always listen to aceflor".

I told you so...

From past experience, I've learned to always start at the top ... it's easier to work your way down
