The Kindle cover is finally in stock and mine came today, first impressions are good. The cover is more plastic than leather but I knew that from the reviews, it's still a good quality cover and doesn't add much weight/bulk to the Kindle. You can hold it like a book or fold the cover right back so you can still hold the Kindle in one hand. There's no strap so the cover does open if not lying flat but I don't think this is a major problem and again I was aware of this before I bought the cover. Overall though I'm pleased with it and as for the price, it's simply a case of if you don't like the price don't buy the product. There's plenty of cheaper alternatives that do the job just as well, I still wanted this cover though. It doesn't even come in a box, just a plastic bag.
