Review: Nice Cover - Like the Old Leather Look and Feel

This is a pretty neat cover that actually has the look and feel of an old leather book - I like the subtle etchings on the outside and the way it feels in your hands as you carry it around as well as reading a book.After prior (bad) experiences with previous generations of Kindle with the type of "holder" this one has - a strap on each corner - I was a little apprehensive about this being able to hold my Kindle effectively.  That worry was unfounded as this cover holds the Kindle very secure and I don't have any fears of the Kindle falling out of the cover.One important note is this cover will only fit the versions called Kindle (the $69 version and last year's $79 version) and the Paperwhite.  It will not fit, for example, a Kindle Keyboard or Fire.  If you're looking for a cover for your Paperwhite you should consider this one, but I think a better bet would be the Paperwhite-specific covers as they hold them more securely and have been designed to assist you with putting the Kindle into sleep mode when you close the cover.  However, this one will do great for a Paperwhite and, as I said in the introduction to this review, the old leather look and feel is really nice and if that is what you are looking for toss my Paperwhite comment out the window.Overall, this is a really nice cover - now if they would design one like this with a built-in light!
