What cover did you order for the new Kindle Voyage?
Hmm, so if I understand this correctly, it tries to stick to the back side of the cover if flipped open. So if I use that as I use a flip cover, it wouldn't work. It would constantly try to stick itself to the back, when I need to have a finger in there somewhere? The flip part needs to be firm-ish for that to work so I can hold on to the cover at the same time as I am holding on the the front part with the device in it. I am just really bad at explaining how I hold these types of covers. Little finger, next to little and middle finger would be behind the flip part, which would techniclaly be the part where the soft screen protector fabric is. Index fingers is then in between the back flip and the front and the thumb is at the bezel of the device. All fingers gentle press to keep it all together. If the back flip, or front cover back flipped is floppy, that wouldn't work.Ann in Arlington said:The origami covers, if like the ones for the Fires, are NOT stiff when not against the device. BUT they would be stiff when flipped open, because they magnetically stick to the back of the cover. So, I guess, you open it, it's floppy, but then you flip it to the back and it's not floppy. FWIW, they do hold the device VERY securely.
I was reading the Voyage user guide today and it indicated that having it in a cover will affect how sensitive you need to set both the page turn pressure and haptic response on the bezel page turn 'buttons'.
In the US, at least, the 30 days is for anything you buy from Amazon.Linjeakel said:I'm still not convinced by the Amazon cover, even though they have always been so good in the past, if a bit on the expensive side.
I like the look of the Belkin one, it looks a lot thinner than the Incipio one which seems to more than double the thickness of the Kindle, with a very wide spine that wouldn't fold back easily. The one thing I DO like about the Amazon cover is that, unlike all the others I've seen so far, it doesn't have an actual hole in the back cover for the on/off button, but it looks like a thinner covering that still allows you to press the button underneath.
I did order the Amazon cover, but on a separate order to the Voyage, so I can cancel it if I want to, without affecting the Kindle order.
Question: Can I try the cover out for thirty days, or that just for the devices?
Thanks, Ann.Ann in Arlington said:In the US, at least, the 30 days is for anything you buy from Amazon.
Thanks for this--I'm a big fan of Poetic. I'd have liked the black and white swirly pattern to be available for the Voyage, though. Oh, well.....sparklemotion said:Poetic has another one up now. This is the exact same style as the one I have on my Nexus 7 and iPad. It's a very nice, slim case and it does have the auto wake feature.

The one called 'tree'? I like that as well . . . . guess I'll keep waiting.Betsy the Quilter said:Thanks for this--I'm a big fan of Poetic. I'd have liked the black and white swirly pattern to be available for t

I've sent a message to the company asking them if it will be available for the Voyage.Ann in Arlington said:The one called 'tree'? I like that as well . . . . guess I'll keep waiting.
I noticed the patterns weren't available, a shame. I have that swirl one for my Nexus 7, it's nice! It's possible they may add it. I also have 3 of the simple colored ones for my iPad and other devices and the colors are so pretty. I have the lavender, pink, and the sky blue color. The sky blue is my favorite. They are amazingly accurate color wise as to what shows on my monitor and really lovely.Betsy the Quilter said:Thanks for this--I'm a big fan of Poetic.

There's quite a few more choices on Amazon now. If you're looking for a journal/book style, Poetic and ACcase appear to have nice ones for a good price. Both have auto wake/sleep.rlkubi said:Anyone found better covers for Voyage?
I am going to out on a limb here, with some of my theories about Kindle Voyage page turn "squeeze sensors" vs covers. First off, one thing to remember is the back of the Kindle Voyage is not flat like the previous Paperwhite back was. It has the same type of back as a Kindle Fire HDX. Now the official Amazon origami cover has a form fitted back that magnetically attaches to the KV perfectly with no gaps. Remember I said page turn squeeze sensors on the Kindle Voyage, so that means pressure from the front and back to activate the sensor. If a cover has a flat back, there could be some space between the cover and the Kindle Voyage back. That could cause a spongy feel to the page turn sensors. Now here is where i am really going to go out on the limb. I think if you use a book type cover, it could pretty much disable the left side page turn sensors on the Kindle Voyage, if the cover is folded behind. This would be caused by the extra gaps created by the folded cover. Cover design could determine how well the page turn sensors work on the Kindle Voyage.sparklemotion said:One thing I do like about the Amazon official case is it appears the Voyage sits in it so it is raised up a little making it free from the sides of the case. Thus making it so your hand can freely rest on the page turn buttons without the side of the case getting in the way. At least that's how it appears in the pics. I'm hoping other cases might be like that too.
I think this analysis and conclusion has merit. In fact, on the page, it pretty much says that the page turn sensors will feel differently if the device is used in a cover. I think we'll just have to wait and see.CAR said:I am going to out on a limb here with some of my theories about Kindle Voyage page turn "squeeze sensors" vs covers.
