Several reviewers have already noted the absence of the reinforcment for the spine, the floppy leather cover, and the fact that the cover is too large for the K3. Overall, it does not work well as a cover.
The leather itself is of very good quality, as is the stitching, but I will be returning it.

I bought this along with the Amazon cover. Though the leather feels wonderful, it doesn’t seem very substantial. The size is also larger by about 1/4″ all the way around. Like the other reviewer stated I think the extra leather binding added structurally to the feel. My wife has the Kindle 2 and I bought this cover for her. Made me really want one. This one just doesn’t seem as well thought out, and the hooks didn’t seem as tight as Amazons. It made a clicking noise on the top hook, after making sure it was fully hooked.
I would also like some sort of closure in the future.
I’m sticking with Amazon’s cover and sending this back. It seems much better designed and although the leather isn’t as soft it definitely feels more protective.

I had been lusting after the Cole Haan cover for the Kindle2 for a long time and when they went on sale this spring I bought one and I love it. When I pre-ordered my Kindle 3 I anxiously awaited the Cole Haan release for the new K3. Well it arrived today and I’m disappointed with it. My K2 case has an extra piece of leather sewn on the spine of the cover. The new one doesn’t. At first it seems like a minor styling detail difference though I personally think the cover looks much sharper, classic, with the added leather. It also stiffens the spine which helps center the cover over the front of the Kindle. Without it it is much more floppy. It doesn’t feel as good in the hand either when holding closed package. The added leather on the spine of the K2 cover did not affect the ability of the cover to fold back for one handed reading so I don’t know why this was eliminated other than to save cost or to rush these to market. In fairness the photos on Amazon clearly shows this spine is missing I just did not notice it until I had if in my hand. Not sure I’ll keep it.
Update: I am returning the cover.
