Here is a leather cover that I've asked my husband to get me for Christmas... http://www.noreveusa.com/product_info.php?products_id=2172Someone posted a link on the Amazon forum but I haven't heard from anyone that actually has one. Amy |

I ordred this one off Amazon, I am more into cute than leather, and thought this one was pretty unique. They had some other patterns and also what looked like leather in black and may another color. The company is called Bobarra... Bobarra accessories on Amazon
 I should get it tomorrow and will report back on the quality. |

I like these ones! Quite possibly because the website says San Tropez... There's a place that's full of danger Not a good place for good girls It's a place that's full of strangers Watching you, wanting you... They do look pretty nice though. |

I too really like the look of the Stylz Cosmo cover but I'm a bit leery of trying it without having read any reviews. My issue with the m-edge cover was largely the bulky spine, so I'm going to take a closer look at the Noreve option too. That said, I really don't have a problem with the stock Kindle cover; I just want to accessorize.
If anyone has a personal review of the Stylz covers, please share!

well mine came today and so did my Kindle!!! Yippee.  I really like the cover overall. The color of the interiror is different from the photo though, but I like it okay. It's well padded, light and the Kindle fits well. It is moderatley easy to get it in and does not move around or seem like it will fall out. It has a magnetized closure which I also like. Drawbacks, no access to on/off & whisper switches and I could do without the pen holder, which just hampers access to the Kindle. I am feeling I will use this mostly to store my Kindle & for when I am out and about with it. I think at home, I prefer reading with no cover... I also have to say, I think it is overpriced (49.99), by at least $10 or even $20 dollars. If there were more choices that I liked, I probably would not have bought this one. |

Thanks for posting the pictures. I was curious about the closure. I think I would like a magnet closure as well, but I'm not sure I like the size of the closing flap. I currently use the m-edge which can be folded backward and the little flap tucks in its slot in reverse. Can you do that? Just wondering. Ann |

Not because it isn't a nice looking cover - but because the Kindle in the photo has red letters on the e-ink page and we all know it is only black The photo was doctored to color the text and that just bothers me. |

It is blue, but I was referring to the photo in the ad, that I posted previously that shows more of a copper background.

No, I don't thinks so, You can kind of fold it back but you have to force it a bit and I do not want to do that... it
is a little annoying but not too bad.

It has a magnetized closure which I also like.
This is something they need to put in the product description. Anything with Velcro is out for me, and it is one of the first things I look for. Upon initially seeing the design on Amazon, I would have bet the closure was Velcro. |

Ha, that is so funny, I had ordered my skin to match the case I already have... and I realized after ordering this green one, it may not go
together... oh well!
Now I have to go find this pink one!

Um, I like the look in general, but does it come in any other color. Green is o.k. but I think I'd prefer something different. Did someone say they found other colors?
As to the magnet close on the original cover referenced, I'm o.k. with that. They're extremely weak, as magnets go, and are not likely to cause any problems. Velcro is o.k., but it wears out. . . .
I'm only sorta looking for a new cover. Am happy with my red not-leather m'edge. . . and can't justify the money right now. But I like to have stuff picked out for when I get a windfall!
