My Omoton cover arrived today. For the price point ($7.99), I think it is an excellent cover.

The Voyage popped right in, the fit is very snug, just like on my Amazon PW cover. The auto on/off works just fine. The texture is nice, it's easy to grip when opened or closed. I'm very pleased with the map pattern, and the colors are nice and bright.

They also included a small microfiber cleaning cloth, which was very nice, as I wanted to clean it before I put it in the cover and didn't know where any of mine were at the time.

My PW2 with cover weighs 11 7/8 oz -- 338g

My Voyage with this cover weighs 9 3/8oz -- 266g

Hopefully these aren't too big. I'm not really sure what I'm doing. I think I downsized them to 800x600. I know the mods delete images that're too big, but I'm pushing the limits of my technical abilities! If I got this wrong, I'm sorry...

EDIT: Oy! They're enormous! I deleted them! I'll try to make them smaller and then re-edit!

I'll try again!

Thanks for posting the pictures - very nice case (I agree it's a bit large). Does the upper left strap block the light sensor?

You know? I thought the straps would bother me, but they don't. I don't even notice them when I'm reading.

No, the light sensor is set further off into the corner of the device. The straps don't cover it at all.

It's not a minimalist case, but I like it. I wish it was cheaper, but that's always going to be true!

Thanks for the pics to all! Now, both covers are lovely. Just one thought: with the Omoton case, the Voyage ends up being almost as big as the PW in its case, size wise ... I know you guys don't like the Origami one, and I know it's super expensive, but should there be a deal on it (there was one in Germany last week so I ordered a red one for my Voyage plus a pink one for my Fire HD 6 for together 50 EUR which is really not a bad deal), maybe you should give it a try..

Thank you for the pictures, I can see that it is a bit bigger than the device

My ACcase arrived today, I'm very pleased with it. It fits well and covers all the frame except where the USB port is. and is light and thin.

It's on Amazon.co.uk, it's £12.99 and available is five colours.

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

They have more colours in the US store

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...artShell+Case+

Actually the US store is a differnt shape, I've only just noticed that. I thought it was the same case.

It actually is the same on the US site--I have it, and got it from the US site. I think you linked to the wrong one on the US site--this is the link to the one I got http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also got the Fintie case http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I have to say, I think I like it better. The Fintie is definitely smaller, thinner, and lighter than the ACcase one. The magnets on the Fintie seem stronger, as well, which is nice because it stays closed better when it's in my purse, but the stronger magnets can be a pain in everyday use, as it's harder to open the Fintie case. The thinness of the Fintie might also be an issue for some--the front of the cover is so thin and the magnet so strong that I have to either use my fingernail to open it or kind of bend the front cover back slightly at the top and hook my finger beneath it.

The ACcase is definitely more padded, which obviously contributes to the thickness of it, and the inside of the front cover has kind of a spongy feel to it, rather than the suede-like feel of the Fintie. I've used both, trading off to try to see which one I like better, and for now I think the Fintie is winning.

This is also the first Kindle that I am able to comfortably use with no cover--I think it may be the shaped back that makes it feel more stable in my hands, but I'm not sure.

I received my ACcase in purple.
I like it, but it might be going back....it is alot thicker than the Omoton case I have. It is cushy, but thick. And a little cheap feeling/looking. Right now I have the Omoton case on. My Fintie case should be arriving soon-they have the Fintie in orange, so I couldn't resist.

I got my Fintie today, I'm the oppositte I prefer the ACcase, the Fintie feels a bit too thin and like it wouldn't protect much in a drop, plus the top and bottom are completely open, unlike the ACcase. The ACcase is light but cushy like you say, it feels safer than the Fintie especially as it's for my handbag.

My freind posted the Omoton to me yesterday so that's the last one I'm waiting for.
