Customer Review: If you like to read without a cover, this is the one you want
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased a barely used Kindle DX. In the deal, I also ended up with 3 covers:
1. An M-edge one (but in pebbled, not smooth, leather): M-Edge GO! Genuine Leather Kindle DX Jacket (Fits 9.7" Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX), Smooth Black
2. An M-edge knock off in synthetic, scarlet red leather: Amazon Kindle DX Synthetic Leather Opening Case with Interior Compartments (Scarlet Red)
3. ...and this one that I am reviewing, the Octo Faux Leather slip cover.
I really don't plan on keeping them all, but have hung onto them for a few weeks just to see which I preferred the best. I upgraded from a Kindle 1 and even with that unit, I preferred to read without a cover. I was pretty sure I would want to do the same with the DX, given its larger size.
The other two covers appear similar but feel differently in your hand. The synthetic M-edge knock off is surprisingly good, *if* you want a keep-on cover.
After a few weeks of use, I have decided that for my own style of reading, this slip cover is the way to go. Both sides of the cover seem to be reinforced...if you slip your fingers just barely inside you can feel where it becomes slightly thicker over the screen. Since both sides are like this you don't have to fuss about putting the DX in one way or the other. The DX slips in nice and snug, it's not going to fall out in your purse or bag. As one other reviewer mentioned, I do gently depress the 5-way button when inserting it just so it doesn't make contact with the top edge of the cover going in.
This cover feels very protective and yet is slim enough to go in my tote bag without taking up too much space. I've thought of keeping one of the other covers for times when I don't really want someone to see that I am reading from a Kindle, but that would be pretty rare, I think.
If you like to read your kindle in your bare hands, no cover, this is the one you want. The dark brown is a classy color and the material doesn't have a much of a synthetic look as some others (including the other one above).

Description of OCTOVO Faux Leather Slip Cover (Fits 9.7" Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX) - Dark Brown
Aesthetically, this sleeve is very much like that of the Kindle DX itself; clean and simple with an understated elegance. Composed using a rigid, yet flexible shell made from faux leather and a soft padded microfiber interior, this case snugly cushions the Kindle DX allowing for maximum protection. Available in a variety of colours - see link below. The non-slip padded interior is composed using microfiber lining which is a soft suede-like material. Molded to snugly cushion the Kindle DX, this sleeve offers protection against the elements; scratches and impact resistance whilst in your messenger bag/briefcase. The Kindle DX can be stowed in either direction which allows for protection whilst charging. Slim and lightweight by design, this custom fitted sleeve is so flat and bulk free that it stacks well with other books or papers. Quick and easy to remove, via the purpose designed opening, simply pull for smooth retrieval. Slide the Kindle DX into the sleeve to protect it when not in use. This sleeve has been approved by Amazon as a Kindle DX Compatible product. Available in various colors and patterns for the Amazon Kindle DX and the Amazon Kindle 2 - Brown (Plain), White & Yellow (Smooth subtle squared pattern), Metallic Blue and Silver (Hologram effect).
