I love almost everything about this cover. The first thing I did when I got it was to spray it with shoe protectant. On occasion, I'm going to be holding it just after washing my hands, and I had be realistic about taking care of it. It's been only a month, but the case still looks brand new.I have the purple one, and it's gorgeous. A deep royal purple. The texture and pattern of the leather are nice and create interest. The stitching around the edges makes it even more attractive. The magnet closure is powerful enough to keep the cover closed when the device is jostled around inside my handbag. On the down side, the front cover seems a tad flimsy, but it's held up so far.The best thing about the cover is that the Kindle turns on when I open it, and turns off when I close it. I thought this feature would be no big deal, but it helps to simulate the expected reading experience. With a paperback book, you don't have to turn it on or off; you just open the cover. And now I can do that with my Kindle. Wonderful!
