It works pretty well so far. Keeps the screen safe. I like it!

Thats the one my freind is sending me from the US, I've ordered the purple. We can't buy it in the UK.

I already ordered the Omoton case...it should be here tomorrow.
I was considering ordering the Fintie case as well, but waited.
I'm glad I did-they now have the Fintie case in Orange on Amazon!!!

The Omoton case I ordered for my Voyage was delivered today ... except that it was the PaperWhite version (just double-checked my order and the order was for the *Voyage* version).

Tried it with my PaperWhite and it doesn't sleep when the cover is closed, no matter how I adjust it.

If my experience is any indication, I'd avoid this case were I you.

I'll have to take the risk as it's being sent onto me by a freind. I'd guess your case is defective as generally they get excellent reviews.

Does it have the cut-out for the power button?
I just received my Omoton case...but I haven't tried it on yet. It does have the power button cut out so I am guessing it's the right one.

I just received my Omoton case for my Voyage but I haven't put it on yet. I have to say though, what a flimsy feeling case it is.
I also ordered the Fintie Smartshell case so we'll see how that one is.

I keep going back and looking at those gorgeous Oberon cases...but they're SO heavy and bulky. Sort of feel like it would defeat the purpose. But God are they beautiful.

I ordered the Omoton Voyage case (Navy) from Deal Barn/Amazon and it works exactly like it should. They must have goofed on your order-- definitely have it replaced.

It's nice and light (3.1 ounces) and doesn't make the Voyage seem all that much heavier. The case seems reasonably protective, the autowake feature works great & the price ($7 when I got it) seems very fair.

I am still planning on ordering the poetic case. Just timing the order for when I will be back from a trip. Durable and light. In the meantime I am using a padded envelope.

Javadoo - I think Oberon might be making the leather thinner - check out the thread on Kindleboards called Kindle Voyage cases, last page. A post there comments that the case leather is thinner than those she had bought in the past.
This ties in with what CS told me, that they are trying to reduce the weight.
Still worth checking the dimensions tho'.

The ACcase from Amazon is quite nice. It fits well and supports the sleep/wake function. The navy blue is handsome.

Received the purple OMOTON case today for the kindle voyage. I like it so far. It fits very well - opens and closes nicely. Easy to read with. I don't know how long it will last but for $6 one can't worry about that, I guess. My previous case for my KK was a M-edge zippered case that was very protective but cost significantly more.

I now have both the Fintie and the Omoton coming plus this one which I should get first as I needed a case asap and it was the only one I could get on UK Amazon within a few days. (Apart from the Origami)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ilpage_o01_s00

Ironically of all the colours available all my three cases are purple

my favorite colour is actually red but I find purple doesn't jar with the black frame and text screen of the ereader. I have almost identical 'cover the bezel cases' for my H20 and Glo and they are both purple too.

I never settle for one case, I tend to have two or three for each device.

Let me know how you like that Inventcase one. Love the color of the purple one, it looks very much like a deep black-ish plum (my favorite color). But it also looks a bit more bulky than I'd prefer. I found it over on Amazon US so added it to my wishlist until there are more reviews out on it.

Preferably I'd like a real leather case similar to that I have for my Paperwhite, but it seems all the others out now (besides Amazon's own) are fake leather.

I did get the leather Origami in blue and really like the look of it. My Voyage is supposed to be arriving tomorrow, so a few days with the Origami case will tell me if I can get used to the top-flip and the somewhat floppy front cover. Like others have mentioned, I used to slide my thumb in between the back and front cover when flipping it over so holding the origami case while open may take some getting used to, or I may not like it at all.

But yeah... more real leather slim-style covers please! That's my wish.

(though I will settle for non-leather if it's fantastic in all other ways.)

I have Omoton cases for my Voyage as well as the Origami.

I like variety and I try to get the lightest cases possible when I'm going to be carrying an ereader in my purse. The Omoton cases are very light and still seem reasonably protective.

I like the Origami case much better than I thought I would and the magnetic-hold feature has me spoiled -- the Omotons are the usual need-a-crowbar-to-remove-the-Kindle type.

That's the one with what looks like stitching around the edges? It looked nice & I was tempted. I know the cover is "PU leather", but does it appear to be leather-like, or plastic-like, or ...?

It's a soft leather-like cover, a bit cushy, feels really nice. I have the navy blue also.

I just checked the other colors they now offer and noticed that some colors are currently stocked and shipped by Amazon Prime, quite an improvement, I waited several weeks for mine.
