It looks nice. I love the look and feel of the cover (even though I wanted color but the black was $16 off and so I settled for that!) It looks classy and I love the "wake up" feature and the embossed/engraved Kindle on the inside and on the metal. I also love that it fits snugly and won't fall out. With my first Kindle (before I upgraded and my husband took the other over) I got the knock off cover and I loved it until it got loose and fell out ahhh! And I still have to be careful with that one hence the desire to get a nicer and better fit cover! Beware it is tough to get out though once you put it in!!!Now...what I don't love about it is that it does make it heavier...enough to make me wonder if I had to read one handed for a long time if my arm would get fatigued. (I am a "I don't take my cover off ever" type reader.) It also makes it so that I can't hold it comfortably in one hand and reach the page turning areas (I'm a 5' 11" female with normal sized hands but my fingers don't reach comfortably with this on.)So...I'm torn. I think that it's nice, but it definitely does make it heavier and more awkward to hold. In the end I think that the benefits of having a protective hard cover, the sleep-to-wake feature, and the molded-to-perfection fit outweigh the bad.
