A few days ago I reviewed my Kindle 2, and now I want to offer up a short review on the Kindle 2 Leather Case offered by Amazon. The case is not very bulky, and just barely larger than the dimensions of the Kindle. It is a nice looking case, and is durable (so far). With the Kindle 1 the case was free, now it is $30.
The Kindle 2 has built-in mount points for a case (or anything else for that matter) on the left edge of the device. It should be noted that other companies are building cases that work with the Kindle 2.
The mount points are utilized by the Amazon Leather Case. The bottom mount point is like a hook that rotates into the Kindle.
The second clip on the case is spring-loaded. It slides up to click into the Kindle, then slides down to hold the Kindle firmly in the case.
The whole package feels like a book. It is certainly lighter than a typical book, and holds more information! The case holds the Kindle well. I have full confidence when holding the case that the Kindle will stay in place.
As you can see, it is thin and very portable.
If you are going to buy a Kindle you better buy the case as well. Sure its $30, but it is well worth it. It was built for the Kindle and works well. It seems to be built with quality.
