i like this cover so much i’m buying another for the upgraded off on flap. its not waterproof but water resistant enough to take in my hot tub or out on my boat. i wear pants with a large side pocket and my kindle fits perfect with this cover and doesnt collect debris. best cover yet until someone comes along with a built in light that makes the plastic glow like the wedge.

I am a customer that lives in Italy and was extremely excited when the Kindle international was released. But to my surprise I found that Amazon had not planned ahead properely and it was impossible to order almost any of the cases and covers for my Kindle. I have several of the Octo products already for other electronics and have found them to be of the highest quality. So when I could not order from Amazon the covers that I wanted I contacted Octo and this wonderful lady named Ellen is going out of her way to help me get the products that I want.
Not only are the products great but the customer service is beyond compare. Highly reccomended!!!!!

This cover is very nice. Made of a good material that does not look cheap. Functions as described in the product description. It fits my kindle perfectly and I have not problems with the 5-way button. I’m very happy with this purchase.

I love this case! Kudos to OCTO for actually listening to their customers and incorporating all earlier feedback into this new and improved 2nd gen case. I have both versions of the case, and the gen 2 improvements definitely make it much easier to use the on/off switch and joystick, and also allows you to easily charge the Kindle without having to remove the cover. It looks great and fits perfectly, without adding unnecessary bulk.
Equally impressive was the outstanding customer service I received from Ellen at OCTO. When I experienced a very small glitch with my gen 1 case, she went well above and beyond to make certain that I was a satisfied customer. It worked!

I was impressed when the product came in the mail. The company packages the case in a professional-looking cardboard packaging made from recycled materials. And when I put the Kindle into the ‘splash proof’ case, I couldn’t believe how easy it was, not only to put it in the case but also to get at the on/off switch and charging port. It fits like a glove. The buttons were pretty easy to use through the case, but I had a little trouble with the joystick at first until I got the cover situated over it a bit better. The Kindle looks so nice in this case, it’s not bulky, and best of all, it was one of the least expensive cases for Kindle available! I bought a second one to give to my dad for Christmas so he can read his Kindle on the beach and not worry about water/sand–and I won’t have to wrap it because the packaging looks nice on its own!
