 Patagonia Kindle Case March 8, 2010

The only problem I had was when I opened it all the way the Kindle would pop out. Thats why it gets a 3.

The cover protects and makes handling the Kindle easier. I did not have any problems with the zipper shared by other reviewers. I purchased both the cover and the skin and thery work well together. A little bit like a belt and suspenders but feel comfortable that the Kindle will travel and is protected from damage.

I work in a very rugged environment boarding ships from small craft and working within the ships bowels. My Kindle goes everywhere with me. This product has paid for itsself absorbing the bumps and grinds of living in my tool pack. It has been a lifesaver when the Kindle tried to fly and found that gravity is still a law not to be scoffed at.

Just having purchased a new Kindle, the first thing I wanted was a decent cover. After reading the many reviews of the many types, I ultimately ended up choosing this one. The Patagonia has a nice look and feel, a strap I find hangs well on your belt, and two handles for ease of carrying.
This cover is handy in that you can either use the Kindle while still in the cover, or use the other side where it can slip right out.
Addressing some of the complaints: I agree that the zippers are a little difficult to open and close, but it appears to be due to the extra padding around the ends, which I appreciate, knowing that if I dropped it, the Kindle will be much more protected. And in time, I'm guessing it will loosen up. This problem is not really a big deal, and I think most of the people complaining are just wussies! lol. Ok, seriously though, it's nothing to base your decision on.
And as for the elastic on the four corners that are supposed to be poorly designed in such a way that your Kindle will slip out of; I have not had this problem, and it could be they have dealt with the issue. One seems to have to work the Kindle in the cover fairly hard in order to get it to slip out. Perhaps over time, these do loosen up, but I don't really see that happening unless you are stretching out the elastic regularly.
The price does seem rather high, but after you pay the $10 too much, you've got a great cover for your Kindle that will protect it well, so skip a couple of coffees and consider it a better investment.

I wanted the hot pink leather cover for my kindle but for some reason they wouldn't deliver it to the UK so decided on this one. It arrived the same day as my kindle and I was really pleased with the fit and the protective feel of the cover. A bajan friend has the leather cover and I have to say for beach and poolside I prefer the patagonia the zip means it is largely water and sand proof.The size is nice and snug so it takes up no more space than a normal paperback which means it fits comfortably into my handbag.I can now read anywhere and everywhere hoorah!
