It's a pity Amazon itself does only provide this leather case. Made of dead animals... :-(
There are other covers around, but you read stories about how they actually don't fit. So I prefer to buy from Amazon.

This official cover for the Kindle 2 is actually an essential purchase if you want to keep your kindle safe and protected. It looks smart in black leather, if a little drab and fits the product perfectly. You can easily attach and detach the Kindle to it, which is great if you just want to read in bed etc as it can feel a little heavy after prolonged use. One concern I have was whether the two plastic clips that hold the Kindle in place are strong enough, but they haven't broke yet, so we'll see. All in all I think while the price is a premium, my kindle was hardly cheap! so don't be either and protect your investment (just wish it came with the Kindle as standard).

This looks like something my dad would use. Personally, i'd like a pink or an orange cover. It's very functional, easy to use, the padding is nice, and I like the way the leather is starting to mellow a bit and to loosen up. I like the way I can fold the front cover back easily behind the Kindle, since that's how I like to read. It's just not very funky or modern -- it's like an Oldsmobile or something. If you can get a Dell computer in neon green, then why can't you get a more attractive Kindle cover? It looks a bit austere -- like a prayer book or something. Like something a Puritan would carry. Also, I'd like to be able to get it embossed with my name on it, or perhaps a clear sleeve in the front so I could embellish it with pictures and things. It just lacks pizazz and personality. Hey, just because we like to read doesn't make us just a bunk of geeks! Give us some style.

The cover that Amazon sells for the Kindle 2 holds the Kindle by a set of tiny metal hooks that are designed to fit into the side of the device. This is an improvement over the Kindle 1 holder, that does not grip the Kindle securely enough.

The cover keeps your kindle from falling out and on the floor, however, it cracks the plastic casing of the kindle. Once you place the hooks in the Kindle you will not be able to remove them. I have all these cracks on my kindle casing because of the metal hooks of the amazon cover. The cover itself is large and awarkward to hold in your hand. I think the cover is a good idea with a bad design.
