I originally bought one of the covers that hooks into the slots on the side of the Kindle. I read about the disasters people were experiencing and took a close look at my Kindle hooked to that cover. It seemed that the machine was being stressed in a way to make the seam open up a little bit. I decided then to get another cover.
This cover is fine as far as I am concerned. The comments about it being made of inferior material, and about the edge bindings that hold the Kindle in place seem wrong to me. Maybe I am just not that sensitive. I like the leather material; it looks great, looks rugged, smells great, and the Kindle fits perfectly within it-- and all the buttons can be used. Bottom line is that I like it so well that I bought a similar one for my old K1 whose cover was beginning to look a bit tired.
I have a physical disability that makes it difficult to transport objects from one room to another if it doesn't have a handle, like on a briefcase. This cover would be absolutely perfect for me if there was a leather strap attached where the cover folds around the Kindle. I considered trying to make this modification, but decided I didn't want to mutilate the beautiful material. Instead, I bought a simple canvas briefcase from BucketBoss which has a handle and shoulder strap. This item is very good quality, very reasonably priced, and available for Prime shipping here in Amazon.

I purchased this at the same time I purchased my Kindle DX, both with the idea of protecting the large investment I had in my DX, and to make it easier to carry around. After using it for almost 2 months now, it is definitely making it easier to carry it around, and also to use - I never take it out of it. I read with it still in the jacket. As far as protection, it certainly protects the screen from being scratched and scuffed, and if it were dropped, I'm also sure that it would help to cushion the blow.
As much as this Jacket costs, I think it is still a small price to pay to help protect the high cost Kindle DX that we all love so much!! I will try to update this after about a year and see how this Jacket holds up. For now though, I do highly recommend it.

Materials are OK. Leather is nice and the suede interior is OK. The closing latch is the pits and could be much better. I presume after some use the leather flap used to insert into the cover is going to be to soft to push in. It is already difficult after just 2 weeks. A magnet closure like cell phone holsters would be much better. Even Velcro would be better.
Interior pockets are useless for an electronic book - can't think of what I would ever use it for. After reviewing other covers that are available I am not sure what I would buy in it's place? Probably just go for inexpensive. My wife has a great cover for her Kindle 1, but it is not available for the DX

The product wasn't clearly thought out and looks like a knock off.
- This cover uses lower quality materials and construction.
- The kindle retention mechanism is the old style elastic which has bits of leather sewn on it to try to cover the mismatched appearance, instead of the DX style hooks on the spine.
- The cover latch is not efficient and unnecessary and the interior pockets are missized to be useful.
- The interior material looks cheap and the exterior has either low grade or fake leather.
I had previously purchased a Cole Haan cover for my Kindle 2 and was very pleased with the appearance and quality. Returned this dud within 30 seconds of opening the package. Will wait for another vendor to release a better product.

got mine by FEDEX today and i am very happy. The leather is thick and rich feeling, and the inside is very well tailored and completed. The regular black Amazon Kindle cover, which i have for my kindle 2, is not nearly as good. However, they are really two different covers. For those that just want a thinner cover, no frills and to keep the screen from scratching, you can go with the Amazon cover. It is lighter and thinner and no extra conveniences, but the leather doesnt even feel like leather. This cover is more convenienced, and can be used to take to a meeting to view files that you may have sent from your computer. It also has a flap for business cards, a few pieces of paper and a pen holder. The one caveat, this Kindle DX is larger and heavier and the accompanying covers are larger and heavier. for those that bought a Kindle just because they are thin and light, this new Kindle DX with a cover may start to mildly irritate you due to weight.
