Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cole Haan Hand-Woven Leather Kindle Cover with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle), Light BronzeCustomer Review: Gorgeous and Well Made Summary: 5 Stars
There's not much else to expect from Cole Haan, I've used their products for years now. So, when I saw this beautiful Kindle cover, I bought it! It's a goldish-bronze, not a reddish at all. In person it's is a bit lighter in color than it appears on my laptop monitor. It looks like it's made by a manufacturer of fine leather goods. The logo isn't too obvious, I am not into 'conspicuous consumption'. I avoid buying things that have a logo one can't miss, just not for me. You have to LOOK at the cover to see the logo, which I think is perfect.
It is well-padded and the hinges are easy to insert and remove, which is important to me because it's not a lightweight cover by any means. I take it off when I'm reading in bed so that I can balance the Kindle in my left palm and reach the page keys with the same hand. There is a small pocket on the inside cover that I have found handy for boarding pass stubs and other small bits of paper. A credit card would fit into it sideways easily.
I don't use it that much at home. I put it back into the cover when I take it out or when I travel. It fits nicely in my handbag (a mid-sized handbag).
I think it's truly worth the extra expense (this was posted when the cover was over $100 dollars, now it's a steal!). Several people have stopped me in airports to ask about the cover, it's that striking.
Update 8/20/10:
I've seen a lot of people comment in the forums about cases that atttach using the hinges can crack their Kindles. I've been using this cover for about 9 months now and have had no problems at all. I think people must be referring to a different brand of cover. I can open the Cole Haan cover from the back by mistake and I've never seen any indication of stress to the Kindle. It may be the way this cover is made that makes the difference.
I've flown with my Kindle about 5 times now and carry it with me quite often in my purse and the cover still looks brand new. I see no sign of wear on it at all, it's definitely of very good quality.
Grab this while it's so inexpensive. With the K3 coming out, this will probably be discontinued.
