My Kindle 2 and cover arrived today.
The cover clips on easily and securely. The Kindle has two small slots on the left side. Two clips on the cover latch into these slots. You can slide the top clip down to unlatch and release the Kindle. All the Kindle controls remain accessible with the cover on. (Unlike Kindle 1, the Kindle 2 on-off switch is on top.) It all seems well designed.
I bought the cover mostly to protect the Kindle when I’m traveling. And indeed, the cover front and back are both tough and well padded, with a soft felt lining, and look like they should provide good protection. The overall appearance is reasonably elegant.
The Kindle+cover total about 0.75″ thickness. So the cover is roughly doubling the Kindle’s natural 0.36″ thickness. But since I want protective padding, this seems like a price I need to pay!
Overall this seems like an enormous improvement over the awkward Kindle 1 cover.

This cover is the basic model for the new Kindle 2. The hooks fit well into the Kindle, and they make it seem secure within the case. Unfortunately, there isn’t a strap of some kind to hold the case closed. The construction of the cover does not seem to be of great quality – it’s almost like they were rushed. I have a original Kindle as well, and the default cover for that seems to be a more secure and safe solution than this basic cover for the Kindle 2.
I’ll use this cover for my Kindle 2 for now because I like to have a cover that makes the Kindle seem like a physical book – I don’t fold it out of the way. However, if they come out with a more substantial cover with a strap that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, I will likely switch to that in the future.
