I've ordered the one chas mentioned...in blue!

Thanks for mentioning this cover, chas. Mine just arrived and it is really nice! Lots more padding than my other cover. I love the blue, and the design is really nice, especially the fact that the piece that sticks out with the snap on it, is on the FRONT, that was the deciding factor for me. Seems to fold back well for reading. Have to wait and see what 6 months of daily use does to it!

I got this plain but well built case for like 14USD from Amazon. Love it...

yes I see that....as with most of them, the flap attachment sticks out of the back of the cover, which I find very annoying, that's why I was happy to find one that attaches to the front, so that when the cover is folded back behind the kindle, it's hardly noticeable.

Glad you like it. Mine has been worked seriously for 4-6 weeks and looks as new.

great thread

Except it's way too long to read through, and it's not organized.

It's like asking about elephants and being handed an encyclopedia with the pages ripped out and shuffled about. Well, it's slightly better because you have the search function, but it's still not practical.

True. But for the one i have, with the front cover folded back, the clasp is magnetic [quite good] and secures nicely out of the way when i reverse the clasp...<tough to describe, but pretty common practice I am sure..>

EDIT: Like this:
