Ah - thanks for the explanation. I thought they were pics of the front and back of the same cover .

I edited my post above as the one with the button is the back of the official Amazon cover. The Belkin and Incipio covers both have a hole for the button. So far third party cases have no hole at all.

I'll be fine with no hole so long as the kindle slides in on both sides like my third part kobo cover, that way it's easy to slide the device up to get to the power button if it's needed.

If it's a sleep case, though, there really should be no reason to need the power button on a routine basis: just open and close the case.

I often leave mine open on my lap, watch the telly then realise it's turned off, then I use the button but I guess I'll just have to open and close the cover instead!

I've lost track on what's been mentioned, but quite a few more options are now available. I like the ACcase. Slim and has auto wake. It's pictured with the basic kindle, but it's for the voyage.

I've cancelled the Fore Front case in favor of this to tide me over so I have a case when my Voyage arrives. Tbh I really want a permanent case with a hole for the on/off button

I figured for £1.99 and free postage this wasn't a bad deal, plus the shape of the inside of the case allows for a bit of tolerance. At worst I've lost £2 at best I've got a beach case

[QUOTE=pidgeon92;2933814]I mentioned in another thread that I am hoping they make this cover for the Voyage:



Where did see this cover? Is it sold on Amazon?

It's absolutely gorgeous !

Excellent! I'm cancelling my Belkin order and getting this one - Sky Blue. thanks for the heads up!

Good Golly, I just checked their shipping speed and expected shipping date. They're not exactly rushing these out to their customers. Release date Oct 21, expected ship date Nov 10 with standard delivery 17 - 28 business days (AKA day after Christmas). Of course they have an expedited shipping for $8.99 that takes 1 - 3 business days. No complaints, just surprised. It's still less than the Belkin, has auto wake/sleep and is in a color I like.

You're more than welcome! I love the sky blue one too. I'm really considering this case. A shame about the delivery date, although I find often times it will state delivery dates far ahead, but you actually receive the case much, much sooner. Hopefully that will be the case here!

The picture is a link. Click on it. Right now, they are only made for the previous model Kindles.....

Many thanks, i ordered the navy blue.

Seems to be shipping by boat from China, will arrive in december!
I did have one of their cases before for one of my toys, decent PU for the price, didn't take 2-3 months to arrive, so i sent them an email to question their estimates.

I'll be curious what they say. That's a pretty crazy estimate. I recently had an Amazon purchase that said it would take 6 - 8 weeks to arrive and I received it in 4 days. Hopefully it will be more like that.

My daughter has the Fintie Folio for the PW1 and I like it. This AC case seems like a good, inexpensive choice for the Voyage. I'm ordering one in black.

About the AC case: I think they may be waiting to get a device in hand, before manufacturing the case, then shipping it. Some ither cases in the US and in some European Amazon stores have similar shipping date estimates.

You may well be right. I just checked on my order and see the Voyage with an estimated delivery date of Nov. 12th and the AC case with an estimated shipping date of Nov. 10th.

So that's a bit different than what was stated when I initially placed the order a few minutes ago. But different in a better way.
