Digital camera Review: Amazon Kindle DX Cover
Summary: 4 Stars
it's exactly the same as the smaller [9.7"] Kindle cover - well constructed and will do an excellent job - owing to the extra weight of the "DX" I feel it would benefit from an additional fixing on the right hand side of the cover as there is [I suspect] a good chance of breaking/cracking the reader if it is opened carelesslyDigital camera Review: Amazon Kindle DX Cover vs. Amazon Kindle 2 Cover
Summary: 3 Stars
The Amazon cover for the new Kindle DX is clearly an evolution on the previous Kindle 2 cover. It has both advantages and disadvantages.
A new positive is the new magnetic enclosure. Tiny magnets in the front and back help secure the cover to both sides of the Kindle DX. This is especially important on the back side. With the Kindle 2, the back cover can actually move a small distance away from the Kindle 2. This can cause the Kindle 2 to "hang" between the front and back cover along the spine connector, which puts increasing stress on the top latch hook that holds the Kindle 2 to the spine. This can actually pry open the Kindle 2 case, and create stress cracking near the top latch slot. It doesn't seem like the Kindle DX will suffer from this problem, despite the heavier weight.
The downside is that latching mechanism along the spine. The Kindle 2 cover mechanism was always a little tricky; if you didn't get the Kindle 2 all the way flush with the bottom connector, the top latch hook would not engage. With the Kindle DX cover, the connector is even pickier, and the Kindle DX slightly thicker along the edges, making the latch hook not line up properly without a little assistance. It Kindle DX feels very secure once attached, but the cover is more difficult to take on and take off than the Kindle 2.

This cover is one of the best functioning one I have ever seen. It installs easily and firmly. It is magnetized so that it stays either closed or folded back, whichever you desire. I would recommend completely if you purchase the Kindle DX, that you also porchase this cover.Digital camera Review: Amazon Kindle DX Leather Cover

This is a good protector for the Kindle DX and fits very well. The binding snaps seem to fit fine and are relatively easy to get on and off. It is made from a sturdy product so gives the Kindle good protection. The only drawback for me is that it adds extra weight to the Kindle DX which I then find too heavy to hold comfortably for long periods of reading. Lately I have been removing the cover when I am going to read for 10 minutes or more and then reinstall the cover to put the Kindle away.Digital camera Review: Amazon Kindle DX Leather Cover
