 "It's inexpensive compared to most--but it shows it" 2009-08-30
By gram parsons (Tuscaloosa, AL USA)
I like the way it holds the kindle. I think it will offer fine protection. I like reading the kindle WITHOUT a case.



Still, I expected it to be a little nicer.



I'd probably buy it again.

 "Sturdy Convenient Protection for DX" 2009-08-17
By Roy Lynn Godkin (Beaumont, Texas United States)
I purchased the OCTO Faux Leather Slip for my new DX and I am as happy as can be. The DX fit is snug enough to be protective and still allow easy access. I am not interested in attracting a lot of attention to this expensive device and this cover looks like a lot of other leather holders. I have enjoyed being able to sit my DX on top of the cover when at a fast food restaurant which protects it from moisture and food. I leave the keyboard side to the opening allowing me to charge the DX and/or link it to my computer without removing it from the OCTO. Some have complained about an odor. Yep, it takes a few hours for the odor to go away, but don't let that small issue derail your consideration of this cover. Any new belting leather (which this isn't) or regular finish leather (which this might be) can have a similar odor. It is study, it is convenient, it protects the DX and the price is about right.

 "Surprisingly impressed" 2009-08-06
By LYos (OC, CA)
This cover didn't have a horrible smell like others have. My kindle is snug inside and doesn't slide out on its own yet smoothly pulls out. It's slim and doesn't add much to the size so I can slip it into my purse or tote with ease. It looks good too. I half expected it to look like cheap "pleather" but was pleasantly surprised. it doesn't protect my kindle as i read it since i have to remove the cover completely as i read but for storage when it's not in use it's great.

 "Very good at what it does" 2009-08-02
By Jason M. Hendon (Florida)
This case isn't as advance as the book cover looking ones. It doesn't attach to the kindle in anyways, its simply something to slide it into for basic protection. If thats what you want, then this is perfect. It feels solid and I am pretty sure it would help protect your kindle if you dropped it while in the slip, though I had no interest in testing this. The color is pretty decent, its not bad to look at and it doesn't look cheap like some others do. The logo from the company is hard to see to so its not to bad.



Its a cheap, and effective cover for your kindle. If you just want a simple cover and dont mind touching your kindle then this is a pretty good option for you.

 "Amazing case; should have shipped with the Kindle DX" 2009-07-16
By Doug201 (New York City, NY)
This case is spectacularly good. It is very sturdy, and holds the Kindle DX firmly so that it does not slide out accidentally, yet it is lined with a very soft material that looks to be padded where the screen touches it. The case is not much larger than the Kindle and it does not add any appreciable bulk. I don't go anywhere without this case since receiving it.



I think the case was worth its price, in peace of mind. I still think the price, however, is giving the manufacturer an enormous margin, though, and could stand to be reduced.



Others have remarked that the case smelled. While I noticed this the first day I had the case, within a day or two there was no more odor. It had something of the "new car smell" to it, and I did not find it unpleasant. I would not avoid purchasing this wonderful case for fear of any odor.



My only complaint is that I would have preferred a black version, instead of a brown one.

 "kindel dx leather cover" 2009-11-11
By P. Sheeran
This cover is easy to connect to the dx and seems to protect the face of the kindle well.

Ir is smart looking and easy to handle but I wonder how long it's center binding will hold.

A pocket on the left hand side to hold other papers would have been useful.

I also feel it is a bit costly.

 "Nice looking but--Design flawed" 2009-11-11
By K. Porter (C'ville, VA USA)
I pre-ordered the DX last spring with this cover. The cover is well built but has a design flaw--it cracks the DX housing if you inadvertently open the wrong side. I went through (2) Kindle's (cracked housings) before Amazon refunded my money for the cover, as well as replacing the Kindle. They were very upfront with replacements & quick to respond, kudos to Amazon. I suggest you consider another cover for your DX and save yourself some aggravation, and money. I'm now on my 3rd Kindle using the OCTO Faux Leather Slip Cover--it works beautifully & costs $30. I highly recommend that cover.

 "A Well Designed and Made Cover" 2009-11-09
By Dave Avis (Beautiful East Texas)
This cover has served me very well. I'm glad I bought it. It is well constructed and the hidden fasteners just slip easily into the Kindle. I like the magnets which keep the over from flopping open. When my wife buys her Kindle, I'm going to recommend she get one to protect hers too!

 "Do not buy - almost broke my kindle" 2009-11-06
By A. Ford
As soon as I attached my kindle, I noticed that the upper left prong did not fit properly, and was causing the case on my brand new kindle to bulge!!!!



Do not buy this product. There have been many reports of this cover causing the kindle to break.

 "Be Afraid...Be Very Afraid" 2009-11-06
By Marc G. Snyder (Baltimore, Maryland)
I ordered this cover with my Kindle DX and they both arrived at the same time. I put my new Kindle in the cover, and for a few weeks, loved everything about it. I have since purchased five other covers (all what would be considered nice ($30-$50) and yet I like the Amazon cover the best - with one major exception.



When I received one of my "alternate" covers, I went to take trhe Kindle out of the Amazon cvover and that is when the problem began. I won't go into specifics but suffice it to say that the Amazon cover cracks the Kindle. I'm not sure why this has not been corrected yet. My guess is that there are alot of people who are happily using the cover and have no idea that when and if they ever want to take their Kindle out, things will go downhill fast. As each person gets to this point, more and more complaints will surely surface.



The shame is that I really like this cover. I have a few covers from M-Edge. They have nice leather covers and a pocket and pen holder. Yet, they are so much bigger than the Amazon. The Amazon cover is the smallest yet by far and fits so much better in all of my bags. It's magnetic latch makes opening and closing much better than having to keep sliding a leather thing into place every time.



Still, the Amazon does not provide a place to hook up a light, and as mentioned, no place for any pockets or pens. Even so, if the thing didn't break my Kindle, I would have stayed with it.



So, Amazon: Please fix this problem. The Kindle is a great product and now with more and more competition, it is not the time to have such a serious and growing problem. Anyone who has not yet found their Amazon cover to be causing these problems, only have a matter of time before they fall victim.



Bottom line: The cover is the best I have used in terms of size, materials, and operation. BUT IT CRACKS THE KINDLE!



So, please do not buy this cover until Amazon fixes this problem. And if you are currently using this cover and have not noticed a problem, try to remove your Kindle. If it starts to crack yours as well, please come back and submit a review. Hopefully Amazon will finally correct things.

 "Kindle DX" 2009-11-11
By P. Sheeran
I have had the DX for 30+ days now and completed one book. I like the way I was able to set the font size to suit my likes. I find this way I read faster. I did notice some slight errors in the scanning of the book and also on the book I am now reading. Errors of words missing or words repeated and some inapproprate spacing within words. Barring this slight transcription problem, I really like the DX due to it's size and ease of handling.

 "My Magical Tablet" 2009-11-11
By J. Aubry Goins (Oklahoma)
I adore this product. It's everything I had hoped it would be and more. No more hunting through the house for the book I want to read. No more dog earing pages because I don't have enough bookmarks. No more waiting days to get to the bookstore to buy a book I want to read.



It's like having a magical tablet.

 "Kindle's my new BFF" 2009-11-10
By Pamela Malone (LEONIA, NJ)
I am ultra happy with my new Kindle DX. I'm reading all the time now, which is TV's loss. I notice I read faster, probably because page turning is just a click. Downloading is a second. It's great to read the NEW YORK TIMES, especially the Entertaimaint section without having to wade through pages of ads. The telephone help-line has helped me the 3 times I couldn't figure something out myself(the Kindle User's Guide has a lot of flaws!)Reading is fun again!

 "Kindle DX "Read on"." 2009-11-10
By Dennis Lockhart aka B.G. George Crook (In the sticks North of Phoenix, AZ)
I originally purchased the first edition Kindle; it was great but the small screen and my not so good eyes didn't get along. I upgraded to the DX and love it. It travels in my brief case or my backpack wherever I go. I am in the process of retiring and will live in and travel by RV. It does not have a lot of room for my extensive book collection. Luckily, many of my favorite books are available in the Kindle version so they can conveniently travel with me.

The DX is a little heavy for bed time reading but is a great laptop and tabletop reader.

 "Great, but still a Work In Progress." 2009-11-10
By Josiah Ethington (Everett, WA)
I purchased the amazon kindle DX as soon as it came out, and I have been very happy with it. I currently have over 100 novels on it (most of which I got for free!) and have enjoyed it immensly. The battery life is super(up to 2 wks with the wireless off). The screen is easy to read, its light and very portable, quite durable (I've been rather hard on it, and no problems yet).



but to the cons - My major complaint is that there isnt much of a way to sort the titles you have on the kindle - you can't organize them however you want, you can only sort by title, author, or which ones you've read or added most recently.



As far as the expiramental features - the web browser is neat, but its quite slow at loading pages, and drains the battery at a tremendous rate (only a couple of hours will deplete it entirely). Mostly usefull for looking stuff up on wikipedia (which i think is an awesome feature).



The MP3 player - Good speakers, adequate volume, but not having any control whatsoever over what plays, except for a skip track function that you have to push 2 buttons at the same time for? Might as well have just left that out, almost...you can't even see what music you have loaded on your kindle unless its plugged into a comp via usb port.



The TTS system (text to speech) - Is not supported by many authors, and has some problems with pauses, like, it doesnt pause as much between paragraphs as it does between sentences (or even as much as other words sometimes).



Other than those, I really love my kindle, and once those are fixed (which I personally think should be possible via a firmware update...but that may be too much to hope for) I'd give it 5 starts, but for now, 4 is all it gets.

 "Cover Looks Good but Be Careful" 2009-11-04
By Chazy Man (Chazy, NY USA)
Protecting the Kindle screen is very important and this does the job. After opening, the cover can be folded completely back so that it is easy to hold and the felt lining inside is comfortable to hold when open.

The biggest problem is that if you are not careful and accidentally open from the backside you can very easily break the metal clip at the top "binding" that attaches the cover to the Kindle. Then you have a complete loss for a pretty expensive (really pretty overpriced) item. The front cover has an Amazon label at the bottom right and you have to train yourself to look for that before you open it or be sensitive to the slight feel of resistance if you try to open from the back.

 "DX Cover" 2009-11-01
By Douglas E. Wood (Kings, IL)
I like the cover. It appears to provide protection on the Kindle screen. With cover folded it also acts as support so that you need not hold the Kindle. The only draw back lack of a storage place for the charger cable and ear buds. But would recommend it for the protection that it offers.
