The only way you can damage it with this cover is to open it up on the wrong side forcefully when you find it won't open very far from the back.<br /><br /> It's easy to do, once. After that it would be very hard to forget. <br /><br /> Amazon's current DX covers are not $79 without a built-in light. Don't know what you mean by $20 more. Since you didn't link the cover, I'm assuming this is a good cover you bought and liked, which is good information so am adding your comment to the area. I found later a good sleeve for $20 and it's not necessary to to pay $100 for a good cover. HOWEVER, I did once pay $80 for a beautiful cover out of pure self-indulgence (we deserve it). I've loved the hinged cover though and use it whenever I want best security for the Kindle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-46701304628739279442012-03-28T19:51:57.373-07:002012-03-28T19:51:57.373-07:00I love my Kindle DX.

You didn't say what kind of ...Bloody Annoyed,<br /> You didn't say what kind of cover you have. <br /><br /> First, if a cover that's designed by Amazon (as the ones with slot inputs are) causes damage to the Kindle, they will replace the Kindle, but you have to call them -- if in the US, call Kindle support (preferably on weekdays but 24/7 nevertheless), at 866-321-8851.<br /><br /> I don't know what 'POS' stands for (outside of point-of-sale), but if your cover is one that has the hooks in it (and I don't know if those were even made for the DX -- I use a simple sleeve), see <a href="http://kindleworld.blogspot.com/2009/03/kindle-cover-and-its-hinged-protection.html" rel="nofollow">Using the Hinged Cover</a>. <br /><br /> The disintegrating USB leads in that power cable have definitely been a problem - call them about that too.

A very approachable guy, he might be reachable at <a href="http://urlwww1--medgestore--com.rtrk.com/about/contact/" rel="nofollow">their contact page</a>. <br /><br /> His hinged covers are described as Amazon Kindle *compatible* so I suspect you can't just get the Amazon ones.

It seems it's a combo of leather and a layer of neoprene as well.<br /><br /> Mine was unbearable for a few days but I left it by a window where it was aired by good and it's been fine since then.<br /><br /> I'll probably do an entry about it yesterday due to the email advisory received in the email today (after a settlement).
