I got my KindleDX from the NYT offer that came with the NYT KDX cover. That cover was a bit bulky, and had the ‘buckle’ on the side which made it feel like it took up a lot of room (It looks very similar to the other ones by M-Edge that have the same ‘buckle’ look). I ordered this cover because I liked how my co-worker’s cover fit her Kindle2: the cover folded back so she could read it like a book, wheras the NYTcover couldn’t fold back, anything I was reading would have to be ‘open book’: i thought this ‘fold back’ approach would be better/more comfortable. Because there was no buckle, It was more sleek than the NYTcover and I wanted something in that didn’t look quite so ’shiny’.
Some thoughts:
1- I suppose in my wanting it to be sleek, the protection it offers is sacrificed. On the smaller Kindle2 I hadn’t noticed how flimsy the cover actually is; but because I consider the KindleDX heavier and more of a financial investment, I think they could have padded out the cover on this size a bit more.
2- there are no pockets on the inside cover. not everyone would care about this, but I did find it convenient for the ‘just in case’. Otherwise I enjoy my KDX for the use of non-paper, but i think the pockets did add a little convenience factor on the NYT KDX cover.
3-the ‘pebbled’ look on this is great – i wish they made all the colors available in the ‘pebbled’ (and marbled) looks! The pebbled makes it look more like real leather, again, not so ’shiny’; it almost doesn’t even look like a Kindle cover…it looks like a really nice agenda/planner.
4- How come the KindleDXs don’t have any covers with the ‘hinge mechanism’??? My co-worker has the K2, and her cover that looks like this one (with no buckle) from M-edge had the hinge-mechanism, but then I couldn’t find one for KDX? Isn’t the KDX heavier and larger, and theoretically, might need the strength of the hinges even more?
Overall I’m a little dissappointed with the cover. While it looks great — I honestly just wish it had more padding/offered more support on the front flap for more screen protection while closed. If I’m putting it in my purse or in my bookbag amongst other heavy objects like other books I’d like to know that my KDXscreen is protected — with this I’m not 100% sure that it is. I may end up trying to find something to add to the front to create more protection – I might have to create my own sleeve just for the front flap to add more padding & a stronger reinforcement. I’ll have to figure something out…protection-wise this just doesn’t cut it.
