What only partly be seen in the product picture: The cover is bright shiny black like a patent leather shoe ... or lacquer fetish clothing. Whether this high-gloss appearance after a few weeks with obligatory use fingerprints and scratches possibly (eventually infected the Kindle DX is not for nothing in a _Schutz_hülle) is still present, you have to wait.
The amplified inlay in the front of the bag, which helps distribute the selective pressure on the display when the handle shell, is a good approach. What I lack only for my happiness, is a closing flap. My Kindle DX is ajar upright on my bedside table, from above so inevitably trickles into dust especially in the headphone jack.
