Customer Review: Everything I hoped for, and a little more than I expected
Rating: 5 Stars
I've had my Mivizu Sleek Kindle Case for a few days now, and I am delighted with it. It is everything I hoped for, and perhaps a little more than I expected, because it is of a higher quality than some reviews suggested.
Those reviewers who thought the Mivizu Sleek Case covering is not leather, probably had in mind the heavy leather of a wallet or brief case, rather than the thin, supple leather of fine driving gloves, which would describe the leather on the Mivizu Sleek.
Mine is a very pretty red that matches the on-line color swath. The leather is smooth and tight with no rumples, defects, or scuff marks, and no gaps at the edges.
When shopping for almost any item at Amazon, I always look at the negative reviews first, and don't waste my time if any seem valid.
Most reviews for any product are from people who simply bought the wrong thing... they buy a bicycle and complain that it doesn't have four wheels, for example.
It was the same with the Sleek. Some actually wanted something different... something larger than the Sleek, or something with more padding, or something with pockets. That's not the Sleek... and it doesn't describe what I wanted.
For one thing, all that extra padding and bulk would eliminate some of the greatest advantages of the Kindle... that I can hold it in one hand, and that it is so unobtrusive that it "disappears" while you are reading. It would also prevent me from putting it in a pocket of my computer case, which is what I'd want to do when traveling.
I didn't buy a case when I ordered my Kindle because all I saw then were too big, and I knew I'd be carrying mine inside my computer case, anyway, so I decided to wait to see if I really needed to buy a special case for the Kindle.
It wasn't long before I realized that I did need a case for every day reading. The Kindle is, as advertised, small and unobtrusive, and it's easy to lose among the papers on my desk on books on a bookshelf. The screen and the keys look very delicate and surely can't stand much in the way of rough handling.
I use the "read to me" feature often, with the Kindle upright on a shelf so I can glance at it once in a while. That was somewhat risky because of the slick surface and light weight of the Kindle. I lost it for a whole day one time when it slipped down between books.
I started looking for a Kindle case, but it was the same problem as before. Most of the cases were simply too big for my purpose, and others required that the Kindle be removed for reading... leaving it with no protection while in use
When I saw the Mivizu Sleek Case in the easel position, it attracted my attention immediately. I looked it up, and to my joy, it was just as lightweight and sleek as the ad had shown... with no heavy padding and no extra pockets to add weight.
I ordered it immediately; it was shipped the next business day; and I received it a few days later.
My biggest concern, about quality, proved groundless, as I was unable to find any manufacturing defect.
The design appears to be sturdy enough to protect the Kindle against such everyday mishaps as a tumble to the carpeted floor of my home or office, and the suede-like interior will protect the face and screen when in a pocket of a bag or computer case.
Because there is no padding, it probably would not protect against a fall to the concrete floor of an airport... but I wouldn't be carrying it in my hand, anyway... it would be in my handbag or computer case.
It's worth noting that some airlines might count a Kindle in a larger case against your "carry-on" luggage allowance, and the extra padding might make it difficult to put inside another bag.
One review complained that the Mivizu Sleek easel feature wouldn't work because there isn't enough separation between the two sides with the snap fastened backwards... but you aren't supposed to fasten the snap backwards... or fasten the snap at all when in the easel position. When set up as shown in the ad, the easel works perfectly.
On the subject of that snap closure... one person mentioned that it was easy to snap without putting too much pressure on the Kindle. I would not have thought to mention that, but agree that it is a good point and a sign of careful design.
It is true that there is no cutout for the USB plug, but it's not necessary to remove the Kindle to charge it. The tip of a finger nail, or the corner of a credit card inserted between the Kindle and the case raises the Kindle enough to allow the USB plug to snap into place.
I like this case a lot. I'm giving it 5 stars because it delivers exactly what it promises.
