I’m glad that Amazon updated their original Kindle 2 cover. The color, I choose Burgandy Red, is vibrant and not tacky. The addition of the strap is great! I like that it helps keep the cover closed when I’m not using it, and helps to keep stuff from getting caught in between the cover and the Kindle. The cover still folds back nicely for ease in reading and the strap will actually assist in this, making it even more stable. I like that Amazon kept the hinge over the corner elastic tabs. I’ve always been careful when opening the cover, so I’ve never experienced the cracking described by others. The one change I might make would be to make the cover suitable for the numerous types of lights that are available for the Kindle. It would be nice to have a light that could be tucked into this cover when traveling or just when you are carrying it around.
