Some folks protest that they like the feel of a book and that the Kindle doesn’t have it…with this cover – it does.
I’ve seen and handled several Kindle covers and this one is by far the best.
It’s comfortable and easy to handle. It does not get in the way.
BTW, it looks great!

When I bought my Kindle (6″), I got the standard Amazon cover. It was not long before I was looking for something a bit … nicer.
I bought the Cole Haan Hand-Stained Smooth Leather Kindle Cover and was delighted by the construction. No cheapo corner clips; it attaches on the side with a strong metal clasp!
I bought the cover for the look and feel, but a few months in, I keep the cover on for much much more. I’m so thankful the cover takes all the abuse and not my Kindle! Don’t get me wrong, the cover still looks and feels GREAT, but I am SO GLAD I have the Cole Haan cover protecting my Kindle!
The inside is soft leather with a little pocket for your business card (nice). The Kindle screen could not be more protected. The cover also flips back “behind” the Kindle (if you want) making it disappear when you are reading.
Seriously, if Cole Haan made a cover like this for the 9″ Kindle, I’d buy the Kindle DX in a blink! That’s how much I like this cover!

I bought this at the same time I purchased my Kindle 2 about nine months ago. Similar to other experiences I’ve had with Cole Haan products, the leather cover is understated, high-quality, and gorgeous.
My only complaint is that there is a weird little pocket on the inside of the cover, which looks only big enough to hold something the size of 5-7 business cards. In addition to this being relatively useless from a functional standpoint, it prevents the cover from laying flat. Granted, this is more of a nuisance than a serious problem.
I know it’s leather and it has to probably be broken in over time, but I haven’t had the patience to do that so far. I also have reservations about setting a couple of heavy books on top of an electronic device with a huge e-ink screen just to flatten out the cover.
In conclusion, if you have the time to break this thing in (read: baseball glove), then I think it’s perfect. If you want something functional and much more economical that works right out of the box, I’d recommend the Belkin neoprene case. I bought this one for more recreational outings (read: beach, pool) and it has become my go-to case.

The Cole Haan leather Kindle cover is perfect accessory for my Kindle. Fits easily onto the Kindle and gives the device a luxurious feel and look. The product is a little on the pricey side and although the leather is rich and smooth it scratches easily-mine scratched within days of use simply by throwing it in and out of my leather brief case.

I read all of the nine reviews … and they came in at 4-s and 5-s. I had also read some 1-s on another, similar product by Cole Haan … how the hooks would not fit into the Kindles. So I purchased a cover, thinking that Cole Haan would have fixed any covers that were defective.
I was wrong. The cover I received had hooks that would not even come close to fitting into my Kindle.
I would advise against purchasing this item. Thankfully, Amazon continues to be the reputable company they’ve always been by honoring their guarantees. They refunded me fully. (Thanks, Amazon!)
(I was hoping that the Amazon quality-control folks would have picked up on this issue from previous buyers.)
So, I will save a few bucks and stick with the original Amazon cover (much less expensive and equally durable) that I purchased with my Kindle a year ago. It fit well from day one.
