I Tuff-Luv It!

(5 out of 5) by Lori Reeser on Apr 27, 2009
Super price on a great, soft leather case. Straight, even stitching. Sturdy design with light padding to protect from bumps. Kindle 2 slides down into top pocket and fits snug, so it's not sliding around. Well thought out design -- no controls are blocked by case. Can be charged with cover snapped closed. Headphone jack and volume controls are accessible with cover closed as well. Small, circular openings are on back to allow for sound to come through. The top flips back easily and rests flat against the back of the case, or you can use the stand for hands-free reading.

Prior to the purchase of this case, I had been using the Belkin Neoprene sleeve. I had originally planned to use the Kindle 2 without any cover at all, but after a few weeks I decided the K2 deserves some protection. I decided on this case because I didn't like the hinging systems of many other cases, or the contrasting stitching others had. I also didn't want a case I had to hold like a book. I liked everything about the design of this case--simple, clean, and classic.

And bonus--another thing I like is that this Tuff-Luv case will ***just barely*** fit inside the zipped Belkin sleeve. Because the sides of the case are open, I like that I can still tuck it inside the sleeve and protect it during travel from any loose items that could slide in between the cover and the K2. If I had to choose between the case and the Belkin sleeve, I would choose the Tuff-Luv case. Having both, though, is even better.

The best cover I found

(5 out of 5) by S. Leach on Jul 8, 2009
After using my new Kindle 2 for a week, I knew I needed a cover, but I couldn't find a cover that worked for my reading style - Until I found the I-nique Tuff-luf cover. This cover looks great, and has ever greater functionality. It holds your Kindle 2 securley, gives unobstructed access to all buttons, keyboard, headphone jack, and even small perforations over the speaker on the back to let sound through. However, all that is not what sets the Tuff-luv cover apart from the others. What I find most useful is that it has a stand that can flip out like the stand on a picture frame. This allows you to set your kindle 2 on a table, and read hands free with your kindle 2 at a comfortable reading angle. The stand snaps securely against the back of the cover when not in use. The stand is thick enough to be sturdy, but thin enough not to be a hinderance when you just want to flip the cover all the way over, and hold the Kindle 2 in your hand when you read. I'm glad spent some time looking to see what covers were available instead of just buying the stock cover from amazon. This cover is worth the money, and you won't be dissapointed.

Just about perfect

(5 out of 5) by notechgenius on Jun 30, 2009 (California)
I bought this cover in black. It looks and feels like high-quality leather. The Kindle fits very securely and it seems sturdy when you stand it up to read. It didn't slide around when I stood it up on a glass table, and it stayed in place nicely when I pressed the page buttons. I looked at almost every cover available for the Kindle 2 and this one fit my needs perfectly for looks, function, and price. Great product!

Great cover for Kindle 2

(5 out of 5) by M. Mckenzie on Jun 11, 2009 (Colorado)
This is my second cover from Tuff Luv and it is far superior to the first one made for Kindle 1. This cover for Kindle 2 holds the Kindle very safely and the buttons are easy to get to. I love this cover. I hope they make one for the DX.

Light, Stylish Cover

(4 out of 5) by W. Wong on Sep 9, 2009
My previous Kindle 2 cover was the Amazon leather cover. Unfortunately it cracked my Kindle, so I've been searching very carefully this time around for the right cover. The reasons why I chose Tuff-Luv Napa leather case was because it doesn't have any hinges to hold the Kindle and the design is very nice.
I received the cover today and my first reaction was that the cover is rather soft. Maybe it's because of its name "Tuff-Luv" that I expected it to be something more solid and hard. But I really don't have much to complain so far except that my Kindle doesn't fit as snugly as I had hoped. If I give it a light shake, the Kindle will slide out fairly easily. So I have to be very careful with it. And... don't leave the cover on top of dusty tables, it picks up the dust very efficiently.
Other than that it's very stylish and light.
