Customer Review: Just what I needed

Maybe they've re-engineered this cover since some of these reviews were written, because I'm not having any of the problems that people have reported here.



I'm very impressed with the sculpted bed that holds the Kindle. It fits the edges perfectly and even compensates for the sloped angle of the Kindle's back, making the screen sit flat in the cover. This leaves a little cavity behind the Kindle where you can store notes, business cards, etc. The sculpted bed also appears to provide extra protection against impacts (not that I'd want to test it). The screen is a little more exposed than it is with the standard cover. I'm more careful about throwing it in a bag or under stuff in my car when I'm using this cover.



I LOVE the fact that the screen is always visible. This means I don't have to open and close a cover every time I want to read. When I commute by train to work, there are lots of stops and starts when I board the train, transfer to bus, etc. This cover makes it very simple to wake up the Kindle and start reading again.



It's easy to access all of the buttons through the cover. The little hole for the scroll wheel is perfect and doesn't hinder its usage. And contrary to what others have reported here, the cover has made my next/prev page buttons less sensitive and now I'm less likely to accidentally turn the page.



Some reviews complain that there's no access to the power and Whispernet buttons. I rarely turn mine off, so that's not an issue for me. I typically just use sleep mode when I'm not reading. Maybe I'll reboot the Kindle every few weeks because I'm superstitious and periodically reboot most of my electronics.



WHAT I LIKE:



* Never having to open and close the cover. That's perfect for me, because I read whenever I can, even if it's only for a few minutes at a time. I can easily wake up the Kindle and put it back to sleep by pushing the buttons through the cover.



* The perfect contour of the cover.



* Less chance of accidentally pressing buttons.



* More protection than the standard cover.



* Since you don't have to open this cover to read, the Kindle stays cleaner and doesn't end up with rain spots, dust, cigar ash, etc.



WHAT I DON'T LIKE:



* There's no access to the controls on the bottom edge of the device (power, earphones, USB, etc.). This is the biggest flaw in an otherwise awesome product. I'll probably carve a hole in mine so I can access these controls.



* Zipper (minor complaint): The puller on the zipper slide is big and flops around. A smaller puller would tuck into the zipper instead of dangling. It's not a big deal, just a minor annoyance.



* Cleaning: Although not a design flaw, but an inherent problem with a clear cover, this cover creates three surfaces to keep clean: the screen, the inside of the cover, and the outside of the cover. Dust or dirt on any of those surfaces gets in the way of the text.



All in all, I'm very happy with this cover. It's actually a 4 1/2 star item for me, but I'll give them the half a star.
