I absolutely love the look and feel of this cover. One downside is the interior is like a felt cloth and black in color, which is already showing stains and collecting dust. I can only imagine what this sucker will look like a year from now. The leather does make the Kindle look like an ordinary book and until opened, you would likely never know a Kindle was enclosed. This might help prevent theft in case I accidentally leave the unit on a car seat or public table by accident. The second downside of a cover like this is it does not protect against sand or duct in anyway. I would like to see a combo unit which does both, but looks and feels this good. Overall, I am pleased with this cover after 2 previously failed attempts and returns.Get more detail about OCTO Vintage Leather Kindle DX Book Cover with Hinge (Fits 9.7" Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX).
