UPDATE to an earlier review
358591
This product is as advertised. I was most suprised at how easy and flawless this item was to install onto my phones display, simply follow the manufactures installation instructions and you can't go wrong. I would personally HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product to any potential buyer out there. One caveat, be prepared to wait for receipt of your order. For some strange reason it took my order 3 weeks to arrive to me. As stated by the merchant this item ships from China, and for reasons unknown it takes a long time to arrive to the USA,US Customs getting in the way perhaps, just a thought.

This is an update to my earlier review.  Until I find out whether the issue happens again, I will upgrade from one star to 3.  While I still think it is not the best Kindle of the bunch, I did like it enough to hang onto it, especially for watching movies (that IMO was its best feature...  better than the ipad or 8.9 (too big - for me) but enough bigger to make it better than smaller fires).  On a whim, before returning it, I tried once more to see if it would boot up and it did.  So I will hang onto it for a while and see if it happens again.

I have had every Kindle since the first one.  As we speak we have several working in the family and I myself switch between a Fire 6", HDX 7 and Voyage depending on my mood.  So I am an Amazon Kindle fan.  I thought this looked like a nice device and loved the colors.  I received it on Sept 30th and (as always) set up was easy.  The device is thin and the color (I ordered Tangerine) is great.

The Good:
The sound was phenomenal and the quality of videos was good.  I didn't like it for reading books (I hoped I would) but it was a bit too tall for comfortable book reading.  That said, it was good for reading magazines.  I liked the removable SD card...  especially as I could watch my Hero4 movies on the device.  Nice.

The Bad:
A couple of things I didn't like. Its a bit "narrow" and I found in landscape once the keyboard was up, there was almost no screen in view.  I also (like some other reviewers) found it VERY slow.

The REALLY Bad:
After only 5 days, it simply died.  I just finished watching a video and started to download another one.  It just died and is now dead as a doornail, after only 5 days of use.  ***New update.  I suspect that even though it had enough battery at the start of the download, the download ran it out... and FAST.  As I am not a total idiot, I did try and plug it in when it died but nothing happened.  I suspect that was because it had run so low it needed a minute to even start recharging.  The battery life is not good, even for normal use, so (assuming my guess is correct) its probably advisable to plug it in when downloading large amounts (like HD movies).

The Good (Again):
I am returning it to Amazon - no fuss, no muss - for a full refund.  Thank you Amazon!

I didn't like it well enough to replace it....  I will wait and see what the next new Kindle looks like. I would pass this one, if I were you.  If you are looking for a reasonable priced tablet, get the HDX 8.9 which is altogether a better device in all but looks.

Hoping you've rec'd the pb copy which was mistakenly shipped and for getting the hb copy, in slipcover to us. Greatly appreciated. You took what could have been a very uncomfortable situation and turned it round to a win win.

An update to my original review below: I was contacted by CatEye customer service, and they said they had problems with some early production models. We had originally purchased two. One worked fine and other didn't. The one that worked had a much higher serial number. They sent one replacement that didn't work either, and then sent another that worked fine. We have about 1000 miles on the two good ones now, and they work just fine.

Have logged 250 miles with my Cateye Stealth 50, and the actual unit works pretty well overall. Instructions, as noted in other reviews, are a bit of a mess, but it fairly easily paired with my speed and cadence sensor.
The problem, for Mac users in particular, lies in CateyeSync, the app used to download rides to your computer. Among other things, it won't remember things like your location, I'm in the Chicago time zone, not London, and your miles/kilometer preferences.
Then, when I upload a ride and look at it in a web browser using Cateye Atlas, it shows the ride correctly, along with the other data, but always shows either one or two mystery side trips, from Central Illinois straight to Central China. I was able to get it to stop once by deleting the preferences files, but it went right back to its old ways. Reinstalling the app didn't help either. Oh, and no reply from customer service about the issue. I should say that I have an older, simpler Cateye computer on my hybrid, and it's been great, which is in part why I chose to try this one

Agreeing with Allen's September '13 response to a comment here regarding the price. It is unnecessarily inflated. I attempted to post this before, but I was told it could not be posted because it somehow violated the feedback policy even though they explicitly said, and I quote, "We welcome your honest opinion about products - positive or negative. We do not remove reviews because they are critical. We believe all helpful information can inform our customers buying decisions". I hope they meant it this time, because people should be aware there are much less expensive options. Enjoy.

sorry about the late review, when i went to review it before it did not give me the option, but now that i can, i must say it was a pleasure doing business and would be glad to in the future. :-)

I posted a previous review that was not so good and was sent a new pair of headphones. So far I've been really happy. Perhaps I got the lemon of the batch the first time. I've used them a handful of times in long runs and they are working great. I've very happy with the new product I received.

9/11/15-Updated review: I still am using this cover and as I said in my first review it suits my purposes but wanted to let others who are considering purchasing one that everything seems to be backwards and upside down on this cover. The handle is inside the cover instead of outside, the cut outs for the power button and the volume are on the wrong ends; I should state I like to use this vertical instead of horizontal, so if you do not use your Kindle vertically the button cutouts may not be an issue, it also is sometimes hard to get to the side swipe while on the internet, and the interior pockets, which I do use, are not as sturdy as I would like. I have used my Kindle while in this cover to take pictures and have not had any problems. ORIGINAL REVIEW:  Not as sturdy as I thought it was going to be (hence the 4 stars) but for my purposes it is good.

Earlier I posted a negative review.  After further contact with the manufacturer I would like to say that I am satisfied with the product.  There was confusion, but it was due to a new person on the phone.  After talking with another person everything was taken care of in a very professional way, and the part that was broken has been promised to be shipped to me in two days.

I wrote a product review thinking that there was something wrong with the stepper. Now, I can't remove my bad review (sorry). I would actually like to contact the manufacturer before I return the it. Hopefully, I will be able to keep the product. If so, I will update my review.

EDITED 11/25/2]16:
The seller has reached out to me and I would grade their customer service as a 5/5 but the product would still stay a 2/5.  I've bumped up the ranting here as Amazon doesnt disnguish between seller and product reviews.

I was told that the noise cancellation has supposadly been improved.  I opted however tfor a partial refund as my primary complaint (cheap plastic) has not been fixed.

----------
These are good headphones (the noise cancellation not so much but the sound quality is fairly high)..  I had seen a few other reviews in which the reviewer had stated that they had broken so that the head phone piece was no longer had rigidity and had chalked it up to user abuse.

I've been careful with them but sure enough - mine have suffered the same fate - although lasting a bit longer than the review I had read.

This is a revised review of the Kindle.  Thanks to all the people who commented, particularly those with helpful suggestions.  Here is why I changed my mind and went from a 1-star to 5-star rating.  I cannot seem to make that change above where the stars are located.  So, assume it says "5 stars".

First of all, I DID have it wrong. There was a plastic strip inside the cover and it does hold the book in place.  The problem was in the instructions on just how to get it to work  I still do not like the design of this method, but it does function.  And yes, it was finally someone really helpful in customer service who explained in detail how to make the plastic thingie work.  (I believe this is an art and a skill).

This makes reading a pleasure as the pages mostly stay in place and do not slip.  Further, I have developed a habit of frequently book-marking the pages so that if I get lost, I can find the page I was reading without too much difficulty.  I devised this strategy while reading a 500+ page book and inadvertently losing my place.  It took hours to find it again.

I still think Kindle could improve the lighting, and also the method for tracking one's progress and pages.  I look forward to a later version.  I have to say I LOVE the Kindle now that it works properly.  Have read over 30 books on it so far, and my favorite thing is that when I travel, I can carry a library with me, and not the weight of loads of books.  It is convenient and has brought me much joy.

I am leaving my original comments below, and do read the comments others posted to it.  I am forever baffled why people react so hostilely to negative reviews.  I post reviews when products cause me to react.  I appreciate those who let others know that there are problems with something so that they do not make a purchasing mistake.  However, it seems that others react  strongly to a negative review, maligning the writer, superimposing their judgments on why the person has written a negative review (the reviewer must be a social misfit, hates society etc.) Give me a break!  Reviewers post negative reviews often to warn others, not to express, at least in my cheery optimistic case, a vendetta against the world.

OLD REVIEW POSTED ABOUT 6-7 MONTHS EARLIER

I waited 6 weeks to get this device and am deeply disappointed for several reasons.  It is so poorly designed that the slightest movement sends the pages scrolling forwards or back, and it is easy to lose one's place. The back screen on which the print appears is uncomfortable--you cannot change it to make it lighter or darker, so you are stuck with a dark background and the print is not easy to read,especially in artificial light. There are only 6 font sizes, you cannot change how dark or light the print itself appears.  It hurts my eyes.

The Kindle is supposed to sit and be used in a carrying case.  It constantly falls out.  Nothing grips it.  Also, it feels heavier than most paperback books. It is not that light to hold.

Customer service is awful.  They seem, by and large, untrained, surly, and unsure and have no idea what causes problems.  For example.  I ordered 2 books and it took 10 hours, 10 HOURS, not seconds,as they promise, before they showed up on my Kindle. When I called to ask why, customer service said they had no idea and had no help or apology. They then hung up on me.  Not at all like Amazon's great customer service in other areas.

The Kindle concept is superb, but the execution is poor.  Maybe the next generation will eliminate the flaws, but I am going to return this piece of junk.

I wanted to update my previous review, but can't find my original posting on this product.

The reason for my update is the manufacturer contacted me yesterday, to inform me that they produced a batch of baskets that seemed to have welding issues. They were contacting all those verified purchasers that they were going to be sending out replacements, free of charge, and just needed to verify the address. Wonderful!!! No need to return the original basket.

Wow! When was the last time you had a company do that?!?

I have to apologize for the bad review . I am sorry for jumping to soon . The Tech found he made a mistake and corrected it . Everything is good and working . Hope it will detour a intended thief.

Thank you

Updated review: Anker was kind enough to send me an updated replacement case which is MUCH better quality. It has a better and more snug fit and the over all quality is nice because it is slim but still offers good protection. I am much happier with the improvements in this case.

Update!!!
The companys customer service is simply amazing.  They have been an absolute pleasures to work with.  The informed me that I had an older version style.  It matched the picture of the product on amazon.  However they gave me a new one to try that was an updated version.  The new one was a completely different charger. It feels and looks much higher quality. Been using it now for about a week and it had been great, no heating up. No issues at all.  My only complaint I can think of is that the light is bright at night if you leave it in your room. It doesnt fade/turn off.  But I use it at work now and it has been great.  Had to loose a star for the older product though... that one was garbage.

Old review:
  Not a qi Charger, cheap made in China.  Tried with my iPhone 8 and had multiple issues.

1) it was heating up pretty bad
2) it randomly disconnects and re connects
3) using with a computer caused my other usb devices to stop working, and it didn't include the power adapter to plug into a wall.
