Improvement over previous-generation case (updated)

Major improvement over the old Paperwhite case. Magnets keep the cover folded back during reading, and because the Voyage is also help in place by magnets, it is very easy to remove it from the case for reading the Kindle case-free. When closed the cover is secure and provides excellent protection. The origami stand-up feature is more of a novelty to me. I might use it for a movie-watching device, but for reading, it just doesn't come in very handy IMHO. Also, the Voyage's base is slick, so the Voyage tends to slide and can fall flat on its back it you use the origami stand feature on a slick table. As for with, the case has a little heft to it and I would like to see Amazon come out with a minimalist case, but I expect other vendors will fill that niche. For the protection it affords, this is a great case for a great reader. UPDATE: After a few weeks of use, this is a great cover. I almost never use it as a stand, but I love the way the cover fold back and stays, and I REALLY like that the Kindle pops out when you want it to so you can read it without the cover attached. It pops back in just as easily (all magnetic). Five + stars

I wish didn't like this case so much

I wish didn't like this case so much. There is other ones out there far cheaper. But after I considered the cost of the Voyage, I canceled my order for a much cheaper one t and ordered this one. This case is very, very strong feeling. The blue is almost indigo and it is a deep grape purple inside of it. It flips from the top instead of a side open so if you don't like that it might not be for you. This is the first one I have ever had that used the top flip option. I have a good origami case on my old Kindle Fire HD and it is a side open and it does not stand as well as this design does. This one really stands up even on a bed. So a a Kindle Krack addict I have to admits I love this almost purple case that is very usable.

Works very well for me

Very nice cover. I ordered red because it was going to be back in stock sooner than black, and because an earlier reviewer complained that it is actually burgundy, which I prefer to a bright red. I'm relatively new to e-readers, so having no experience with other covers, I don't mind the flip over the top, as opposed to the type that opens like a book cover, to the side. I do not find this to be flimsy, I very much like the feature that allows the flipped over cover to act as a book stand, even though I'm reading sitting in a recliner with the reader in my lap. I can't say that everyone will agree with my assessment, but this cover exceeded my expectations and I'm very happy with the purchase.

I love it!

I highly recommend this cover, it's a little expensive, but totally worth it!!

The right choice.

I'm very happy I purchased this over the paper white. My first kindle, although used plenty of older models as my whole family has them. The design is perfect, honestly. The smooth glass is remarkable, and I couldn't ask for more when reading outside in sunshine. The buttons with the buzz haptic feedback are a great addition and I'm using them primarily and never touch screen to move pages anymore....keeps screen clean. Battery life with airplane mode has been couple weeks for me. I did buy the black origami case...however I didn't buy it for the purpose of using it as a stand. I wanted the case that was made for it, and liked the leather aspect. So the case is sweet and fits it snugly, and the magnetic hold that it has with the kindle is wonderful...very impressed with that. But was I've come to be shocked with is actually just how much I now use the stand aspect! We are all used to reading books magazines in our hands, but honestly, sitting at a table and having the ability to just prop it up, has been delightful and quick a nice pleasant surprise to me. I'm not very happy I got this origami case, as it just provides a completely other mode of reading with the stand as compared to just holding it....nice to have the option. If I'm holding it in my hand, I would say that for longer periods of time reading, I pop the kindle of the case, as there is an extra weight aspect, however it's not by any means necessary. I've read few books so far, and no complaints, except for the fact that I have noticed over and over that the software doesn't seem to pick up on paragraphs/spacing in the text where there is an obvious plot story change. Instead, It just reads like the next sentence and I've found myself confused on a number of occasions that it's no longer talking about the same plot line again, and has shifted to another story line....I'm sure its just a software thing, or perhaps with the bookerly font, but it's my only negative point. I've already read a 10-15 medical journal publications on it, as I work in medicine and am using it as a pdf reader (as I've found that reading documents on iPad is to straining on my eyes). Very easy to get pdf's onto device, just email the pdf from your computer to an email address assigned your kindle and voila, it's on your device....easy. The document is more responsive than I was expecting actually. I researched this aspect a lot, and saw videos of people looking at pdf's, however the software or hardware must have been updated, because quite responsive now. All in all, I'm very happy with this. I was unsure given the extra price, but now that I've had it for a month, read a few books, many medical pdf's, and I would definitely recommend this.

I really like it.

I am a die hard Kindle user and I referred this cover despite all the negative reviews. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like this cover. It is very light; the Magnets do a terrific job of keeping it secure in the cover yet it's easy to remove. I like that it folds back steno notebook style; I use it with one hand by holding onto the back and draping the cover flat over my hand. The best feature is the built in stand. It holds my Kindle at just the right angle for reading while sitting at a table. The leather is nice and the color is a dark rich red but not a burgundy purple red. All in all I think it's a great case for my Voyage and I am sure it will last a long time.

Love the Origami Cover

I wasn't sure I would prefer the Origami cover to the traditional Amazon cover used on my Paperwhite, but I do. It is substantial, well made, does not add much weight to the Kindle and is easy to put on and remove. The fit is perfect. I love the feel and smell of the leather and the red color. I have no problem with folding the cover back to read by hand and the stand, which is easy to set up, is great for reading at the table. I think it is well worth the price and expect that it will hold up as well as my Amazon Paperwhite cover. The only con in my opinion is that when the cover is folded back the on/off button is difficult to access.

A very attractive and high quality cover for the new Kindle Voyage (but expensive)

UPDATE 12/25/17: Even though I have since purchased the new Oasis model Kindles (both of them, go figure), I still continue to use my Voyage for reading when I'm eating alone in a restaurant and want to prop up the Kindle for reading at the table. This leather origami case is my favorite Kindle case, and it makes my Voyage the Kindle I still prefer to use for reading while sitting at a table. The leather origami case has worn very well and shows few signs of age or wear even though I've now used it for over 3 years at this point. SUMMARY: ------------ ► Pros: - high quality materials and appearance - built-in 'origami' stand provides very solid support when reading - easy to install and remove Kindle from the cover - activates the Kindle 'auto-on' or 'auto-off' when opened or closed - slim - does not add significant bulk to the Voyage ► Cons: - expensive - some users may prefer the 'book' style cover rather than the top-hinged origami design - because the charger plugs into the Kindle at the bottom, the cover cannot be used to support the Kindle for reading at the same time it is plugged in to be recharged, a minor inconvenience ► Overall: For my usage, I consider this to be a terrific cover, attractive and I expect it to be durable, and very cleverly designed to hold the Kindle while still easily removable. The 'origami' stand is easy to use and works very well ADDED COMMENT 2/17/15: After using this cover for several months, I like it a lot. I'm used to the folding feature and like how it props up the device, and I don't miss the style of my previous PaperWhite cover that opened book-like. I will say this, though - the Voyage is held in the cover by magnets, and it will slip from the cover fairly easily. I've dropped it a few times (with the cover open) and had the cover come completely off. It is a very sharp looking cover, the quality is very high, and I think it provides very good protection when closed. I'm completely satisfied with it. I would purchase it again. DETAILED REVIEW: ---------------------- ► Appearance To begin with, this is a very different design in a couple of ways from any other case I've owned previously. First, unlike many cases for Kindle readers and other tablet-like devices, the base of this 'origami' cover does not fit so snugly that once installed it is difficult to remove. This cover is not like that. Simply place the Kindle Voyage into the base of the cover, and it immediately locks into place magnetically. It is held very well, but if you want to remove it from the case, it can be pulled out very easily. Nice! And as I said, very different from any case I've used before. Second, this cover hinges at the top, and you can either fold it backwards, flat against the reader, or you can use the 'origami' folding feature to fold it so that a stand is created. It takes a couple of practice folds in order to become familiar with this 'origami' style fold, but after a minimal amount of effort you learn how it is done, and it works perfectly. It is all held together with magnets and the result is a very sturdy and solid stand. I am impressed by how well it all works. I was a bit hesitant in ordering this 'origami' style cover, because I've always been used to covers that open like a book cover, and I really didn't know if I would like this. What I should have realized is this - with my Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, when I use my Paperwhite while eating or at a desk, I would always end up propping it up with something in order to put it at a comfortable angle for reading. With this cover design, that is already provided for. It's a better design for my needs, in other words. The stand can also be used to support the Kindle Voyage in either Portrait or Landscape position. Both of those aspects of this cover have become more appealing to me after using it for a few days (this comment added in later edit to the review). ► Materials and Quality I like the quality of the materials used. The exterior of the cover, both front and rear, is a textured leather, and it is very well made and looks great. No stitching is used, the leather is attached to the frame of the case and there are no detectable gaps or seams. The inner surface is microfiber (this is the surface that sets on the screen of the Kindle when the case is closed), and it is also very well done. The Amazon logo is embossed in the case, both in the rear leather of the case, visible when closed, and in the microfiber inner surface which is also visible when the case is opened and either folded into the stand position, or folded back. The case also incorporates a button that is placed directly over the 'on-off' switch of the Kindle, so that you can power-up or power-down the device with the case installed. The cover also activates the auto power-on or power-off when the case is opened or closed. I have the red color, and it is darker and less of a 'fire engine' red than the pictures here make it appear. I like it, but some might find it disappointing if they had wanted the brighter red as shown on Amazon. Long term durability will take time to be known, but I can say this about Amazon covers. I have used the Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover with my Kindle Paperwhite (first generation) for a full two years, and it still looks great and is in perfect shape. That was an expensive cover as well, but I've never regretted the purchase. I don't beat up my devices, and I don't carry them around in backpacks or purses, but I do use my Kindle outside of the home quite often, and so the cover is put to use constantly. And since that earlier Amazon cover has given me good service, I have the same expectation for this one and was willing to spend the money on it from the beginning. I also was influenced by the fact that because the Kindle Voyage is a more expensive device, and I didn't want to take chances with any drops or other mishaps, I was willing to spend the money for this more expensive cover. ► Weight added to the Kindle This cover does add bulk and weight to the Voyage, and for some users that may be significant, but I found it to be minimal. With respect to weight - the Voyage itself weighs 6.3 oz, and the cover adds another 4.8 oz. That would seem to be a pretty significant addition, nearly doubling the weight of the Kindle, but after all the Kindle is pretty doggone light to begin with, and the device with cover attached is still pretty light weight. I can easily hold it in one hand and read for a long time without discomfort. I will also mention that I've tried lighter covers on my Paperwhite, and have always returned to the Amazon cover because it does provide greater protection (the Amazon cover for the Paperwhite is bulkier than this Voyage cover, too). With respect to bulk - after living with this cover for a couple of weeks (I write this as an edit to my review, writing on 10/30/14), I've come to realize that the cover is very slim and nice, and I like it even more after using it for a period of time. I have not ever felt that it made the Voyage too heavy or bulky. CONCLUSION: ---------------- I've been debating whether or not this cover deserved a 5-star rating, or should be given a 4-star, not because of any quality or design deficiency, but because it is admittedly pretty doggone expensive. It's a judgement call, and many people will think that this case is simply too expensive, but on balance I've decided that given the quality of construction and materials, how well it fits and works, that it is a good value even at the price Amazon charges and it deserves a 5-star rating. I realize that not all customers will feel it is worth the money, but for me I'm satisfied. So, I like it, but there is no denying that this cover is expensive. The Voyage has just been released, but there are already a good variety of other covers available, in all kinds of styles and colors. I can't claim that everyone will agree that this cover is worth the extra ten or twenty bucks (or more) compared to other covers. I can just say that it looks great, and I'm happy with it myself. And Amazon does offer the same design cover, but made from polyurethane rather than leather, at a lower price (see Amazon Protective Cover for Kindle Voyage. The color selection is a bit different from the colors offered for the leather cover as well. I don't have that lower priced cover and haven't seen it, so I would recommend reading the reviews on Amazon if considering it).

Totally amazing.

This is an amazing case! I think I could call it the best case for any mobile device I have purchased. It's quite expensive, but worth every penny. The origami on it is gorgeous. I love how it's made of leather and doesn't scratch. A great protection against scratches and blows but it doesn't seem like it would protect so well from dropping it. It also folds into a stand very easily. The stand does not fall over, it is very secure, but at the same time it is easy to flip back out of the stand. That is just fabulous. I've had it for THREE YEARS and it still looks great. I can even smell the leather! I love how it feels as well. I can't even imagine a Kindle Voyage without this case anymore. I would give it 100 stars, but since I can't, a well deserved 5! Summary: if you're thinking about purchasing this (too expensive, might fall apart, etc.) then stop thinking about it and BUY IT! You won't regret it.
