I bought the Vintage Leather cover from OCTOVO for my Kindle DX and have had it for almost a week now.  This is a quality Kindle jacket and I’m quite happy with it.

My cover is a bit darker than the photos at Amazon or OCTOVO would indicate, but each one of these covers will be somewhat unique and will also age uniquely.

The craftsmanship seems quite good.  The color of the stitching complements the color of the leather and is very precise and neat.  The interior is lined with black microfiber that seems to be of a much higherOCTOVO-Vintage-Leather-Kindle-DX-Cover-front        quality than that on other covers that I’ve seen.

The front cover does not have a stiffener, but the leather is quite thick and stiff enough that I’m satisfied that it will adequately protect the screen of my ereader.  This cover utilizes the Kindle hinge system.  To secure the DX to the back panel of the cover there is an elastic band on the lower right corner.

The front folds back flat and none of the controls or ports are covered.

Besides looking really good, the Vintage Leather cover feels really nice in your Kindle-hinge     hands – it is quite book-like.

Not everyone is a fan of the rustic vintage leather style, but if you are I think you will be happy with this.  If Indiana Jones had a Kindle, this would be his official Kindle cover.

OCTOVO makes the Vintage Leather cover in sizes to fit the Kindle 2 ($74.99) and the Kindle DX ($85.00).

UPDATE:  Currently only the Vintage Leather cover for the Kindle 3 is still available.
