OCTO Faux Leather Slip Cover for Amazon Kindle DX Reviews
Sturdy Convenient Protection for Amazon Kindle DX I purchased the OCTO Faux Leather Slip for my new DX and I am as happy as can be. The DX fit is snug enough to be protective and still allow easy access. I am not interested in attracting a lot of attention to this expensive device and this cover looks like a lot of other leather holders. I have enjoyed being able to sit my DX on top of the cover when at a fast food restaurant which protects it from moisture and food. I leave the keyboard side to the opening allowing me to charge the DX and/or link it to my computer without removing it from the OCTO. Some have complained about an odor. Yep, it takes a few hours for the odor to go away, but don’t let that small issue derail your consideration of this cover. Any new belting leather (which this isn’t) or regular finish leather (which this might be) can have a similar odor. It is study, it is convenient, it protects the DX and the price is about right.
Amazing case; should have shipped with the Kindle DX This case is spectacularly good. It is very sturdy, and holds the Kindle DX firmly so that it does not slide out accidentally, yet it is lined with a very soft material that looks to be padded where the screen touches it. The case is not much larger than the Kindle and it does not add any appreciable bulk. I don’t go anywhere without this case since receiving it.
I think the case was worth its price, in peace of mind. I still think the price, however, is giving the manufacturer an enormous margin, though, and could stand to be reduced.
Others have remarked that the case smelled. While I noticed this the first day I had the case, within a day or two there was no more odor. It had something of the “new car smell” to it, and I did not find it unpleasant. I would not avoid purchasing this wonderful case for fear of any odor.
My only complaint is that I would have preferred a black version, instead of a brown one.
