This is a very nice looking KPW cover.  It's made out of "synthetic leather" which means it smells kind of funny for a while.  Sort of rubbery-plasticky.  If you've ever bought any "pleather" then you know what it smells like.  This will fade.  The inner material is soft and smooth, but sort of rubbery.  When you fold the cover over to hold it one handed, there's a strap inside where you can put your hand.  This makes it harder to drop on the floor when you fall asleep reading.There are 4 elastic straps to hold the KPW in.  When I first opened the cover, I really thought that the elastic was too close to the center - the KPW won't fit.  Guess what - elastic stretches!  Turns out it fits just fine.There is an elastic strap that fits in a thin groove in the front that is easy to open and close.  I'm not a big fan of white, but I do like the pencil sketch look of the city.  I think that the white would show smudges over time, but since this is rubber/plastic/"pleather" and I think it would be easy to clean.  Besides, the pencil sketch is the same color a smudge would be, so it might end up looking like the city has clouds.Pros: good looking (even though it's white), tight stitching, sturdy, holds the KPW securely.Cons: the hand strap keeps my left thumb too far away to turn forward so I still have to use my right to turn the page; and there's a big patch with the Golla trademark and name of the picture.I'm not listing the smell under the cons because I'm pretty sure it will fade.  It already has in the past couple days that I've been using it - the first day almost gave me a headache, but after 2 or 3 days, it's much less.  But if you want to give this as a gift, get it early and air it out for a week or so.  Really.  Or include a gas mask in the package.
