I own this case in the plum color and I love it.  The color is great since I have a K2 in a black case and my K3 in the plum -- can tell at a glance which one is which.I like to read the Kindle outside of a case so keep that in mind as you read the following.1) Overall quality appears to be excellent.  The zipper moves easily without sticking (this was an issue with the case I bought for my Kindle 2).2) A good amount of padding, particularly on the side where the screen rests.  Feels very protected.3) Easy to get the Kindle in and out.4) I LOVE the fact there is a zippered compartment in which to carry the charger.  I absolutely refuse to travel without the charger since I don't want to be stuck with a dead battery and no way to charge it.  While reading, I try to keep the Whispernet connection off, but it is easy to accidentally leave it on and run the battery down.  When I went on vacation the last time with my Kindle 2, there was no where to put the cord and I had to tuck it loose into my suitcase.5) Like the fact the Kindle fits very snuggly and that it is totally enclosed when in my purse or tote. I'm concerned about some of the cases where three of the four edges are unprotected  -  probably all right, but I am a worry wart.I do like the idea of a case where the light is included and seriously considered that option.  I decided to go this route since I don't often read where I need a reading light and I like this one better for the outlined reasons.No matter which cover/case/sleeve you buy, I just strongly recommend you buy something to keep your Kindle protected!
