User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Perfect!
When the Belkin neoprene case was backordered, I bought the $25 version of the Octo sleeve, instead. I’m glad I did. I’ve had it a week, now, and believe it to be better than the Belkin: no zippers to fool with; more protection from the rigid sleeve; a nice, firm grip; and it’s *very* nice looking. The $89 version must be elegant, indeed!
Unlike the previous reviewer, I’ve had no difficulties sticking my kindle into the sleeve any old way and then easily getting it back out again. I have found it a bit easier to pull back out, though, if I stick it in head first. That also leaves the USB port exposed for recharging.
5 Stars Great Product…slow delivery
The OCTO Kindle 2 Sleeve is wonderful. Lovely black leather. Kindle fits very nicely. Slides in and out easily (when it’s in the right direction). I wasn’t happy that it took 10 days to be delivered, but I was glad that it arrived 5 days earlier than the estimated delivery date. It arrived before Memorial Day Weekend travel which suited me just fine. A beautiful product.
5 Stars Simple, yet elegant protection
I have had the Octo cover since April. It is a lovely, well made accessory, which provides superb protection for the Kindle. I wanted a hard sided case, which would provide protection for the screen, in tightly packed luggage. It does that. I wanted a great looking cover to compliment the Kindle, which was a birthday gift, from my wife and children. It surely does that!
I rate this product outstanding. Simple! Elegant! Functional! 5 stars!
5 Stars Like to read your Kindle 2 naked? Get this sleeve.
I prefer to read my Kindle 2 naked (Kindle 2 with no cover, me with clothes on). The Kindle 2 is really nice and slim and I do not like the extra bulk and weight of a cover while I am reading nor when carrying the K2 in my purse. This sleeve is exactly what I wanted. It looks really nice and protects the K2.
You do need to realize that the sleeve does have a front and a back. Notice this sentence in the description: “It is important to note that the seamless sleeve is custom designed to snugly fit the Kindle 2 and therefore the Kindle will only slide into the sleeve in one direction”. The front of the K2 is slightly wider than the back of the K2. If you force the K2 into the sleeve incorrectly, it is extremely hard to get it out. I did it once and had to have my husband remove the K2 from the sleeve because I could not get it out. The difference in the shape (front to back) of the sleeve is so small that it is hard to know the difference just by looking at the end of the sleeve. I now know what the front texture/pattern looks like on mine compared to the pattern on the back and that is how I know I am putting my K2 into the sleeve correctly. Also, it does take a little more force when putting it in the sleeve incorrectly. If the K2 does not seem to be going in easily, flip it over because you are probably put it in the sleeve incorrectly.
I love mine and will probably also buy the Navy one soon. I would love one in a true red color instead of the wine.
5 Stars slip sliding away
The octo leather slip cover is truly beautiful as well as practical.
I did have some trouble getting used to the fit. Now that I have read the instructions and had customer service from Octo email me, I now insert it in the slip cover correctly. (the back of the K2 slids in against the Octo logo)
Now that I know the fit when done incorrectly is tight, I insert my K2 (in the wrong way) and use the case as a holder when reading.
The K2 in that position is very user friendly. When you have lemons … make leomon aid.
