Color:

I’ve received Noreve’s new Kindle DX case in black from the Perpetual Selection which is smooth, soft black leather. Though there are a variety of colors/texture options to choose from (19 colors, 3 textures), I think the black is nice because it’s elegant and sleek. It does, however, seem to have a sort of business feel (which you may or may not agree with) so if you’re interested in something fun or casual, I’d recommend another color from the Perpetual Selection or a different color/texture from the Ambition or Exceptional Selection.

Fit and Design:

I love the fit and design of this case because it’s so exact to the Kindle DX that it fits like a shoe. As with most Noreve products, this case securely holds the Kindle in place with its rail system which fits the Kindle to a tee. To fit the Kindle into the rail system, simply shift the device from the left portion of the open case to the right so that it will slide directly into the rails, hugging the Kindle from all ends. On the left interior of the case, Noreve has offered a complete travel wallet which includes three credit card slots, pockets for travel information and passports, and a clear (plastic) pouch for an ID or business card. This not only makes traveling information more accessible and organized, but it also eliminates the need for a separate travel pouch. On a lesser scale, if you’re headed to a local coffee shop to spend some time on your Kindle, you don’t need to bring a separate wallet or purse or backpack as you can keep your money and ID with you inside the Noreve case.

Another nifty aspect of this Kindle DX case is the fact that Noreve has eliminated the magnetic strap closure and replaced it with a hidden magnetic system within the interior of the case. What’s nice about this is that you don’t have to waste time strapping your Kindle in, or attempting to find a tiny snap at the back of the case; instead, you simply close the case and the magnetic system will keep the case shut and hold the Kindle in securely. While we’re on the subject of efficiency, Noreve has allowed openings in the leather on the top, bottom, and side of the case for access to all basic functions of the Amazon Kindle DX. This includes the volume controls, power switch, headphone jack, speakers, and charging port. When the case is open, there is complete access to the screen and keypad, as shown in the attached pictures.

Finally, a nice addition to the new Noreve Kindle case is the inclusion of two stainless loops on either end of the spine to allow for the option of a hand or shoulder strap. If you know you’ll never be using this feature, the loops can be folded against the case so they won’t be distracting or take away from the appeal of the case.

Protection:

Due to the high quality of the hand-crafted leather along with additional padding, this Noreve case offers top protection for such an expensive device. Everything that needs to be protected is, and there aren’t any unnecessary openings in the leather. The majority of the device is covered by the leather. The only area I may even question as potentially being unnecessarily exposed are the two right (top and bottom) corners of the Kindle. I worry that if dropped on either corner, it may be scuffed, though I doubt there would be actual damage to the device. That said, every other aspect of this case is protective with utmost quality.

Quality of materials:

This device is fairly large, so it’s no real surprise that the Noreve case weighs about 13½ ounces… which is still very light for being as protective as it is. The leather is hand-crafted; it’s beautiful, and hard to find a flaw in its seemingly perfect façade. The stitching is symmetrical and also virtually flawless, and the tiny Noreve logo on the bottom front corner of the case proves elegant like the rest of the case. The rail system is extremely sturdy, the magnetic system is strong, and the leather is durable to protect the Kindle DX against harm.

Conclusion:

I wouldn’t recommend this case unless I actually believed it to be a good pick for the Kindle DX. Reason being, the Kindle is an extremely expensive reading device which needs something of quality to protect it from harm. I genuinely believe this Noreve case to be a good fit for the Kindle DX because it’s made with top quality leather, the tight stitching will ensure durability, and the design of the case has the Kindle’s (and customer’s) interest at heart. I’m actually surprised this Noreve case isn’t more expensive. With an option of nineteen different colors and three different textures, this Noreve case will undoubtedly fulfill the wishes of any Kindle DX customer.
