All i want is a soft leather case for the new Kindle touch, NOT PU leather, NOT leather look, NOT like leather just a real leather case.
Would prefer tan/light brown but if its soft and real leather then ive learned i cant be too choosy on color!
Thanks for any help and suggestions.

Welcome to Kindleboards. I have been waiting to order a Touch until I see what covers are going to be available.
Have you checked out Oberon? They have some beautiful leather covers.

I REALLY like the Belkin leather case for my K4. They make one for the Touch too. The only downside for you is that it's either black or purple (at Amazon). Target has the bright salmon color. I think the Amazon brand cover is real leather.

I had seen the Verve cases on Amazon however i also saw on Belkins site that it says "smooth faux leather exterior " on the description! |

Oh wow! You are right!! Amazing... I hadn't even noticed that.  Well, it sure feels like leather to me. It's more pebbled than smooth though. |

Yeah, definitely go the Oberon route. I've had their covers on my iPad and K3 for a year now, and they've aged beautifully and still smell deliciously like leather. I've also dropped both devices a few times, but you would never know it from how well the covers have protected them. Oberon is totally worth the money. Beauty AND function.

The CyberAcoustics covers are real leather (altho some are nylon and real leather but they are advertised as such. The nylon part has the designs). It is nice soft leather and the insides are a super nice chamois-like suede.
They are also very light weight.
If they arent making covers for the new Kindles yet, hopefully they will. It's very possible the K3 covers will fit the Touch.

Have you seen the Octovo Vintage leather cases? Link to K3 version for an example. I have one for my Kindle DX, and they're very nice, soft, real leather. Their items tend to lag a ways behind the device availability (the K3 cover took something like 6-8 months before it was available) but they really are very nice and worth the wait if that's your style. |

I HIGHLY recommend this maker, and I think he has a thread on here somewhere. I have ordered several things, and have been using the kindle cover for over 4 months and it is wonderful. Awesome service, and will customize it to what you want. http://www.etsy.com/shop/hmcurriers |

I've got the bicycle leather leather Kindle cover for my niece - it is a piece of beauty, she loves it. I am on the fence for the River Song diary one for my iPad. Another member here posted a few months back about a custom made leather cover where they used her own designs and made it according to her specifications. |

Hey all Could not help to but to bump into this convo, if you ever have any questions about any of our cases, please feel free to let us know via here and or our email address on our websites. In terms of our cases, they are all made of genuine veg tan leather which we personally hand dyed and age ourselves. In terms of prices, they are set very competitive compared to similar cases / covers out there which to some extent are way over priced. The nice thing about our book cover cases are that they are very light in terms of weight. Also we are one of the few leather cases out there that fully lay completely flat on any surface. In terms of design we have over 50+ designs we can put on the cover which list is continuously growing. We also cater to custom designs and or graphics. If your not into graphics we can also put any kind of quote / message using any font you like. We cater to any kind of eReader unit even those not in our stable, we have our pattern makers on hand to custom built a case for you to your liking. If there is anything else just let us know. Yes, I'm curious, too. I just added them to my favorites on Etsy, but I'd still like to know more before purchasing. TIA. |

Does anyone know if the joevleather and hmcurriers cases fold back completely flat? My Octovo Vintage does while my Oberon Celtic Hounds does not. All of these cases are beautiful.

Thank you, maries. I'm ordering a Kindle Touch soon, and am trying to decide ahead of time on a cover. Like fcat, I want a real leather case, and prefer a slim one that folds flat.

A simular case to the k3, but the flaps are sewn differently to stiffen them so you can use the case as a stand. I've actually got one ready to sew up, and hope to get pics up either tonight or tomorrow. |

I have a question about the joevleather River Song for Kindle case. I wanted to get one for my kindle touch, but I noticed it doesn't seem to have any closure mechanism (unless it's that elastic band sewed to the inside of the front of the cover.... in which case I ask why isn't the elastic band sewed to the outside of the back of the cover). Would it be possible to get a closure mechanism similar to your other cases ( http://www.etsy.com/listing/78614970/designer-leather-covers-for-kindle-nook like this on) and the Oberon closure mechanisms? That's the only thing holding me back from buying it. |

I ordered this cover for my husband for Christmas from hmcurriers (hopefully he doesn't see this posted here!!). I don't have the cover in person yet as I am waiting on two other Kindle Touch covers to be finished and shipped together, but wanted to share the beautiful work he does! I have one cover already that is amazing! Now my parents and husband will have their own. He does incredible work, is awesome to work with, and really customizes each case.

I have a pink leather case that has suede interior with 6 little pockets that are perfect for either a gift card, or similar. I keep my business cards tucked into them.
I got it on ebay for 8 bucks.

Joe, thank you very much for your reply and all that great info. I had no idea. hmcurriers, your items look very nice, too. Either way, will have to wait until after the holidays. Because I'll have to see what Santa leaves under the tree, and I'm supposed to be thinking of others during this time of year...  |
