What were they thinking? November 22, 2008
I got to put my 2 cents in on this lousy cover. Sure it's well constructed but it' performs so poorly that it is obvious to me that it was and after thought. This cover is a huge disappointment and it has driven me crazy from the first time I tried to use it. It sits slightly crooked when engaged and I feel compelled to try to straighten it out every time I look at it. And I guess they never supposed that you may need to get to the on/off switch or whispernet switch when the device is installed in the cover. Plus, isn't the speaker in the back too...also, covered up. Sure you can slip your finger in there after memorizing which switch is which, but then the puny little locking thingy clicks off and it's free in your hands. So stupid! I've come to the conclusion that the only good use for the cover is for storage when not using the device. I just take the thing out when I want to start reading. Weight? Too heavy at 5.9 oz making the device a full pound when equipped with the cover. The strap is as tight as a rabbit snare practically squishing the little scroll wheel down to its max. I'm afraid it's going to damage it by keeping it depressed all the time. Take my advice Amazon, try again, this cover blows.

Reread the instruction manual November 21, 2008
Iam shocked that so many kindle owners have problems with this book cover.I do have to admit I had problems at first but then went back and read the instruction manual.It clearly states to insert the two left sided corners of the kindle into the book cover and push all the way in and then lightly press the two right sided corners of the kindle down. This will lock the Kindle into the cover securely.Just to double check to see if the Kindle is locked I push on the left side ever so slightly to see if it is lose and it never is.I have only had my Kindle for about a month so I cant say if this cover holds up to normal usage fairly,but it can be replaced.Although I do think twenty five dollars is a bit high for a faux leather cover.

Forget the plastic tab November 15, 2008
Don't concern yourself with the plastic tab. And certainly forget all about velcro. Just place the K into the cover as seems intuitive, and then slip the attached elastic band down around the lower right corner. Voila, secure.

Sadly disappointed in this beta test cover November 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

What were they thinking when the designers created the "corner pockets" to hold the K into place in the cover? Moreover, the plastic "clip" onto which the K is supposed to sit is so totally mis-engineered that it is funny. Watching the K fall onto my lap/bed/floor has become an adventure.br /br /Woe is us who have suffered through this book cover experiment. I only hope that Amazon will compensate us with a new cover/kindle when the engineering department admits that it made a mistake and decides to market the K with a newly generated design and cover. br /br /Is there is anyone out there who can effectively turn on the rear mounted on/off switch without "dislodging" the K from it's cover?????br /br /br /Oh yes, the leather has a nice feel and the elastic strap does keep the K tucked away safely when not in use.

It needs to secure better October 28, 2008

I love the size, it looks like a quality product, I like the strap. I like how the cover wraps around like the cover of a book. br /What I do not like is that the Kindle will not stay in the cover and it's so frustrating. I have read that some people use velcro which is what I will have to do.
