Hi!

Do you think it's a good idea to buy a K3 cover from ebay?
I mean they can't say for sure that it fits the K3 especially since it has rounded corners..

I wouldn't personally buy one yet.  In my opinion, if Javoedge, Oberon and M-edge do not have access to the actual K3, I would be surprised if anyone else did.

If anyone is selling K3 covers already, all they've done is look at the measurements and made a case to roughly match. You don't need a cover till you've got your K3 so my advice would be to wait and buy something from a reputable seller. What might seem like a bargain will probably turn out to be a false economy.

It depends on what you're looking for.  If you like reading a nekkid Kindle and just want something to keep it in when you aren't reading, some of the zippered covers or neoprene sleeves that fit the K1 would probably work.  But if you want a cover to keep it in all the time even when reading, I'd wait.  It will be difficult to get a good fit on that type of cover until manufacturers can see where all the controls, etc, are.

True.. although the current covers on eBay just have corner straps, so I don't think any of the buttons on the bottom would be covered.

It says right in the description that it's "synthetic leather", AKA vinyl.

Nah... if you read the description, it says faux leather. The auction title says leather though.

Ha!!! "Jinx, owe me a Coke!"  We used to ALWAYS say that.  My hubby and I have just reduced it to "Jinx" since we always seem to be doing this.  Wink
