I ordered the Kindle cover last night. I plan on using it until all the reviews come in on the other covers and I can't take it anymore. Roll Eyes
She needs a cover now.
I have a Oberon for my Kindle one with the corners and the corners were to tight and would change the pages. I should have called them, but I did not.
I'm still tempted to order a Oberon since there is no way it could interfer with the buttons this time.  Tongue
I'm going to wait a while though.

I'm having the same issue, I love the Amazon stock cover and have no problem with the hinges.  I have ordered the red River Garden with corners from Oberon; I have been going back and forth on cancelling Oberon because I think I can dress my Kindle with a skin.  I love the Oberon cover I had on my Kindle 1 (red Sky Dragon) and have not been able to talk myself into cancelling my order for the Kindle 2.  I decided not to go with velcro this time because I LOVE the back of my DecalGirl skin and that's one of the reasons I like the hinge so much!  I like the back of the skin way more then the front.

...the Oberon makes it feel like a leather bound book. I love my Kindle and the only thing I miss about DTB's are the covers. This provides me with the opportunity to switch it up...

You know, Linda, you've made an incredibly obvious point that, I'm embarrassed to admit, I hadn't stopped to consider.  Yes - I'll keep the Amazon hinged K2 cover.  Yes - I'll keep the Oberon Roof of Heaven cover in Saddle.  From time-to-time, I'll switch 'em out, just to keep the experience new.  And, I'll probably put the Hokusai Wave or the Bold Celtic Knot (or other outstanding new cover design) on my wish list too.

Now, if they'd only add folders...I'm up to nine (9) pages of stuff on my home page.  It's starting to get pretty crowded.

Feel free to call on me anytime you need an enabler, I am very good at justification of all Kindle accessories.   Wink

FYI on Amazon returns... if you use their mailing label, they will deduct the cost of the postage from your refund amount and that cost is usually higher than if you just shipped it yourself from the post office.  I didn't realize that and returned something that would have cost me $2 in postage, and they charged me 9.99 for the "Prepaid Return Label Deduction".  Also, I used super saver to buy it, and they deducted 2.61 for the super saver shipping that it cost them to send it to me.  BUYER (RETURNER) BEWARE.
