Here's a question: The clear hard (or soft) plastic grips that hold the corners of the Kindle look as though they might scratch it. Obviously, you've thought about that already, so reassure us -- what features of those grips prevent any scratches from occurring?

I got a few questions as well.
1. Is the leather real/genuine leather, or a PU leather or synthetic that many other case user use?
2. How much does this case weigh?
3. Is this case going to be available on Amazon anytime soon?
4. Are there any other cases in the making, maybe a more common book style?
Thanks,
JD

Thanks for the questions…
The leather material we use is named “split leather” which is the 2nd layer of cow leather. The case weighs 6 oz. and has an unique mounting system that consist of 4 soft but durable silicon corners that protect the kindle rather than scratch it. In fact those of you that have a skin on your Kindle our mounting system will not damage it. There are no plans to make a book style case at this time.
We hope to have it up on Amazon soon.

I love the look of the ipad covers on your site-- the bright covers look like notebook covers. Please, please make a book-style kindle cover. |

great looking case. I can see it being popular with people who like to read handsfree. Nice for those that dine alone and don't want to hold their kindle while they read and eat.

I too prefer book-style cover.
Regarding placement of elastic band for holding Kindle in cover while reading -- being right handed, I hold Kindle in my left hand. I'd guess that's probably true of most right handed readers. And most of the world is right handed. (Sorry, lefties.) Therefore elastic band would be better located more to the other side.

Sandpiper...Good Point.... but the nice thing about our case is that you can easily mount your Kindle to have the strap either on the left or right. Just 3 seconds is all you need.... CyberSteve |

Hi CyberSteve...I'm a new convert...love the case I bought. For anyone that missed it, I did a review of a Cyber Acoustic flip-top case last week. It's similar to the new Maroo line...I think in every way?....except for cover designs/material. Review: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,75923.0.html |

They are soft, yet structured, and malleable, like silicone. They wont scratch anything and grip nicely, yet it's easy to get the K in and out because they flex. Edit: typo |

Just a quick update: the Grant Technology Simple Light that works off of the Kindle battery fits just fine in the flip-top case...open, closed, and even secured.

kb9680 - Sorry about not posting but someone vandalized our mailbox early Wednesday morning so I have not received the cover yet!  I will stop by the PO later today to pick up the held mail and hopefully it will be in that pile. Now to go put up a new mailbox in 100 degree heat - that should max me out on the fun meter for today (dripping sarcasm!)! LOL! Kathy in NC |

Is this available on Amazon? It comes up but states ipad/kindle. Pictured with the kindle 3 but description confuses the issue even more.
You make book style ipad ones. Any chance you will make book style kindle covers too?

I have to apologize for not responding to your inquiry in a timely manner. The Kindle 3 cases are only available on our site www.cyberacoustics.com or on our designer site www.maroo.com . We are working hard to get these into the retail stores. At the present time we are not planning to introduce a book style cover. Thanks for asking CyberSteve |
