I like it because it covers my Kindle DX but isn’t attached to it. I can take the Kindle DX out, use it and then put it back in. Also important to me, it closes all the way around preventing dust/dirt from getting on the Kindle when toting it around.
My only complaints:
- It’s expensive for what it is. $20-30 would have been a more reasonable price. Granted, I still paid for it so I guess it is the ‘right price’.
- It’s slightly too big. I would have preferred that the Kindle fit more snuggly inside. As it is it seems like it’s about .5-inch too big on both the length and width.
I’d recommend it over the Amazon leather cover because:
- it doesn’t attach (you can read about those problems in reviews for the Amazon version)
- it zips up and keeps dust/dirt from getting on your Kindle

Recently I took this on several plane trips across country in carry-on luggage. This sleeve worked well protecting the DX from bumps, crushing and seat junk left by previous passengers. It’s expensive for what it is, but it is well constructed. The zipper seems very sturdy. It looks very professional.
On the other hand there isn’t a place for the USB cable. If you want to be able to read while the Kindle is in the sleeve then this is not the sleeve for you. Finally the fake leather part does not cover the entire screen so something sharp might be able to puncture it and damage the screen.

This sleeve seems well made, but I would expect it to be so for this price. However I find myself, now that I’ve owned by Kindle for a week, really wanting a extra pocket to hold the USB cable.

This case is very well made and I’m sure it’ll last a long time. I agree with one of the other reviewers that they should have made the “leather” cover the entire screen of the DX, not just 3/4 of the screen. I disagree with another reviewer who said that the case is 1/2 inch too big in length and width- it fits the DX almost perfectly, and the DX does not slide around inside the case.
I put the word ‘leather’ in quotes above because Amazon advertises it as being made of “high-quality leather,” but the manufacturer’s tag says “faux leather.” Amazon should not be charging $45 for a case made with faux leather. I’m keeping it because it protects the DX better than any other case available, but the price Amazon is charging is more than the case is worth.

I feel this case could offer a little more. I carry my Kindle with me almost everywhere I go so I also have my charger with me (and have had to use it on occasion). I have to force the zipper closed when I am ready to take off. Maybe something with a pocket on the outside to hold this would be a good idea.
