Review: Looks nice, lightweight, but not sure it will hold up

I am not really a cover person.  I like the idea of having a cover for my kindles, but after a while I usually end up giving them away and using them without the cover.  So that being said, I like the way this looks.  I like like a book that is trying to look old (note, I am saying that it looks like it is trying to look old, not that it actually looks old.)But the gold trim looks like it will wear or scratch of quickly.  It hasn't so far, but it doesn't look like it will last.I am surprises how light the case is.  I have had several cases and they were all much heavier than this one.  If feels like it is a hard foam (not bendable but because it is so light.)I agree with some other reviews that it is a bit big for the kindle.  I wish it was a little closer to the kindle size (width).For $39 I think it is a fairly good deal.  It it were $20 I would give it 4 or 5 stars.  But for $39 it seems like the cover design should look better up close.__________After a couple of weeks I still am using the cover.  I am not sure I have used any cover this long without at least taking it off for a while.  It is holding up.  I have not noticed any scratches or cracks in the foam.  This is better than I thought it would be.  I am moving my rating up a star.  Would give it five stars if it were cheaper.
