I like the Kindle Book cover

[Cowgirl]

Am I the only one who doesn't mind the cover the kindle comes with?  It clicks into place and I haven't had any problem with it falling out.  Are the other covers out there that much better?

[Sandpiper]

It is OK.  I'm in no rush to buy another -- if I do.

I didn't like it at all. I put a velcro dot on the corner and that kept the Kindle in the case (sort of) but I just thought the cover was sort of meh.

Over in the photo gallery thread I posted pictures of my red M-edge cover, inside and out, if you want to see what it looks like.

I don't need a pretty cover. My original cover works fabulously...I still feel like I could ^j_u^gl_g^e my Kindle and it would stay put. As I've said on Amazon...I don't know how to juggle; maybe I'll teach myself so I can test this theory. Is there a good Kindle book on juggling? One with fabulous greyscale illustrations?

I'm surprised Teninx hasn't mentioned his thumbs

I haven't taken mine out of the packaging yet... just in case Friday gets here and I really have to wrap it up for Christmas     I went ahead and orders a cover based on the opinions of many that they didn't like the original one. I plan to give it a try and who knows, I may like it... I can always save the one I have ordered to use later on. I am holding off on buying too many accessories, as I would rather spend that money on books!

I like the cover. I flip the front of it to the back when I'm reading. And when I have it closed with the elastic band, it seems secure enough for me. I will be getting something for when I take the Kindle with me places out of the home. I've bookmarked a few that I have seen links for on this forum. One with a strap will be nice.

I had no problem with the Kindle staying in the original cover.  But I really hate stretched out elastic and it was stretched out in just a few weeks.  So I got an M-edge.  No more floppy elastic.

Oh, I was wondering if that elastic would stretch out. I'm quite rough with it. If it does, then I'll get one of those M Edge saddle covers.

What would REALLY be great is a cover that would also hold my iPod comfortably.

Yes, I would like one that would hold my iPhone and Kindle.

My daughter is thinking of getting iPhone. There's a rumor that iPhone's connection is not so good. Is it true?

Yeah!  and my wallet and keys and 'girl stuff'.  Oh, wait.  I guess I have one of those.  It's a purse!  :-)

Actually I have several, though I have recently retired some because they aren't big enough for the Kindle.  Why is it that when you shop for purses on line, they almost never have pictures of the insides??

It's like any other wireless device, the closer you are to the source, the better the service.

If AT&T has a lot of towers in your area, and 3G in your area, the service is excellent, like it is here around Chicago. I have had no problems with dropped calls or interference.

I have no problem with the cover since I read my kindle naked.  That said I have the Waterfield bags for protection when I travel.

[Cowgirl]

All great comments.  I never thought about that elastic stretching out too much...I'll see how it goes...Thanks

Initially I had no issues with it but the elastic is stretching and occasionally my Kindle will "unhook" from the cover or the battery cover will just slip out. Luckily I caught it when it did that! Also, I want something pretty :-)

Great idea of a cover that would hold the Kindle and iPod...two of my favorite things.

How about a way to connect the kindle and iPod? So we can use the kindle's speakers and control what we listen to.

As for the kindle cover...I myself haven't problems with it, considering I have read about the kindle's tendency to slip out. The people that have had problems with my cover are the ones that don't know about the possibility of it slipping. My friend and my bro almost dropped it.

[LuckyRainbow]

I really haven't had any problem with the OEM cover. However, I hold my K as if it is made of glass. But, I am also very intrigued by those Oberon covers.

[Buttercup]

I'm fine with the cover my Kindle came with too.  So far I've not had any problems with it falling out.  That said I will be eyeing the Oberons when they come out.

[ClockworkDragonfly]

Seems like mileage may vary on the stock covers.
I've never liked mine. My kindle sits in it at a slight angle that leaves the bottom right corner sticking out and it's constantly slipping loose from the plastic tab just from carrying it (once causing a drop from a second story balcony that gave me a heart attack... fortunately the Kindle came away with only a rough scrape in the plastic and a dislodged SD card despite striking the sidewalk. I buffed the scratches out and put the SD card back in and it's fine, but I wouldn't like to try my luck a second time). I do like the padded microfiber lining though, and my elastic hasn't stretched yet which is weird cause I'm constantly toying with it absentmindedly while I read.

Being a leatherworker though, I plan to make my own custom cover eventually. I'm just in the process of figuring out what the best way to hold it in place will be and what I want to tool on the cover.

[Tris]

The original covers okay just be careful when you read in bed.  I totally forgot that it was a Kindle and not really a natural book...so when I was in bed reading my kindle above my head.  *Flop!  Bam!*  Kindle right smack on my face.   Learned my lesson.

Currently the original cover works well for me.  Though later on, I just might change it...thus far I don't really have any issues with it to make it a priority.

[LuckyRainbow]

I think we have all done that, Tris. Although, last night as I was reading in bed, I was laying on my back with my K propped on my chest. I woke up when it hit my nose, it had not fallen out of the cover, it just tilted forward.
