Noreve Case for Kindle 2 - pic heavy

[cheerio]

Thanks for the follow up

One thing I'm wondering about - the rail system holds the Kindle in place on three sides, with the left side, the one in the middle of the case, unsecured.  If you fold back the case while reading, like I know I would do, is there any danger of the Kindle sliding out thru that unsecured side while reading if you were to turn the Kindle so that the 'open' side was down (gravity is, I guess, what I'm wondering about).  I'm looking for a case for one of the new DXG models, but I think the Noreve for the K2 is made the same.

If the Kindle is held securely by the rail system and I wouldn't need to worry about it accidentally slipping out while holding it with the cover folded back, I think I'm going to give in to temptation and order one.  So far, I've an Oberon that I love to look at, but don't so much like to hold to read since I hate the feel of the wool, and an M-Edge Platform that just doesn't feel quite right, although I know it protects the DXG very well.  I don't think there's another cover out there that I'd be as happy with as I'd be with a Noreve, but I'm just looking for some reassurance that I'd not need to worry about it slipping out that unsecured side . . .

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I don't want to make another mistake, and I'm really ready to find a cover that I'd be unquestionably happy to have.

I fold my noreve cover back and there is no way it would fall out.  I actually ripped my thumb nail a couple of weeks ago when trying to get the kindle out of its noreve! It is very very secure.  And gorgeous to boot!

Thanks, Pushka.

I fold mine back, and it would never fall out. I love it!

I ordered an ocean blue Noreve for my DXG last night.

Recently, after a post on whether the rails loosen over time, I decided to give mine a try.  Holding it by the tab, I shook it.  Lo and behold, the Kindle slipped down about an inch.  Thank goodness I had the foresight to do this over the bed and as well as the fact that it didn't fall completely out.  So I took the Kindle out, pushed in on the rails, both top and bottom and put the Kindle back in.  Had to do that a couple of times because I didn't want to push in too much.  Now the Noreve is good as new.  It think it does loosen over time and with use although I rarely remove my Kindle from the case. 

Anyone with a Noreve might want to do this quick check-up from time to time.  You know... better safe than sorry.

Vicki, how long have you had your case for?

Since the end of March, looks like.    But as someone said, the rails are just pieces of metal covered with leather.  Easily bent to snug things up again.
