Review: Well-made but well-overpriced

This is a good protector while transporting your Kindle DX.  It is not something you can keep on it while reading it, though.  The zipper opens this sleeve 50 percent and can be kept on the device while it is charging.The biggest negative about this product is the price.  I bought this sleeve for my Kindle DX when Amazon featured it as a lightning deal for under twenty bucks.  But even at that price this is overpriced because Belkin makes a sleeve just like this for Apple iPads for under ten bucks.  Why the gross price increase for this one when both are so similar in size?All that aside, this is well-made and fits my DX nicely with very little wiggle room.  It provides good padding and grip, as all Belkin laptop sleeves do, and is ideal for carry-on travel or as protection for the Kindle DX while in a backpack or portfolio case.  But there's not much more room for anything inside this sleeve as there are no other pockets, so placing the recharging cord requires a tight roll.The gross overprice takes a star off an otherwise very good product.Edit 28 May 2011:  I see the price dropped from a ridiculous $44 to a more reasonable $29, but this is still almost $20 more than the just-a-tad smaller iPad cover of the same design.
