I was going to buy another original Amazon case just to switch it up and was looking at them in Best Buy in person and noticed the same thing, they are not all made the same. Some have the flatter grain and some have the easier to grip more pronounced grain. |

At four times the price, I always wonder is the official Amazon cover really four times better than these copies?
Also, those TPU covers linked to, are they just to make your Kindle a bit comfier to hold since they don't seem to provide any protection? |

I would stick a picture of my goodreads book covers in there - they look so pretty all lined up, but that would also be proclaiming to the world what exactly you are reading. |

I wouldn't even look surprised if we found out somehow that Version 3 (+/- €15-20 depending on the seller) is actually manufactured on the same line as the official Amazon cover (€35). Quote:

Difficult to quantify how much better the quality is, but, to me, it definitely is compared to all the covers I have bought (and I did go a bit overboard). I find the amazon one sturdier, but also heavier. And I am not crazy about their color selection, though I love my purple cover.

Not a lot of public transport around here, and what little there is, is very inconvenient, I'm afraid. |

Hello all - since you've all been buying every case known to humanity - can someone tell me if they've found a case with the following:
1. magnetic on/off 2. non-magnetic rear - so when you fold the cover back on itself, the front "on/off" magnet doesn't stick to the rear I'm experimenting with something and the case I have appears to have some paramagnetic material (likely a thin foil of steel) sandwiched in (which kills my experimenting dead in the water) Thanks in advance all ![]() |

Googleprodict Version 1 and 3 do what you want.
Version 1 has no closing magnet, version 3 does. |

The one that I bought would meet your needs. The magnetic doesn't stick at all when the cover is folded open. And I see they have reduced the price even more!
