Pros :
1. Lightweight
2. Great protection since my kids use the iPad
3. Easier to hold than the iPad itself. Feels nice and warm in hand.
4. Looks nice too.
Cons:
1. Its hard to find the access to the volume control buttons. There are no cut out hole for those, but later I realized the two green bumps actually let you push the volume buttons. Only thing is you can't do the screen lock switch. ( solution: double click home button to show task bar, then swipe right to see volume control and screen lock at the bottom of the screen.)
2. Unlike the magnetic cover, can't turn it to sleep right away. (solution: set auto sleep after 2 min inactivity and just leave it on all the time)
3. Doesn't have a builtin stand to prop up for movie viewing. (solution: it is easy to prop it against something, a pillow, a dictionary, a book stand etc. and it is pretty secure.)
4. Can't fit in small bags any more. Imagin i could accidentally push the button and wake it up in the bag too.
Overall, it fulfills my purpose. My heart no longer skips a beat when my iPad gets dropped. : )Exactly what I hoped for. This stand makes it a pleasure to read while freeing up your hands.
It's super easy to "install" and use just pop the four rubberized, padded corners around each corner of the Kindle, then bend the two protruding back legs into whatever angle you need, and voila, the Kindle is standing on its own. The legs are sturdy, easy to bend, and they stay exactly as you position them. Each leg has a rubber ball at its tip which helps grip the surface you set the stand on. The stand can be used with the Kindle standing vertically or on its side. I've found it pretty stable, even on an uneven surface like a couch or my leg. Its range of adjustment has been more than adequate for my couch/laptop/table/bed reading needs. In the vertical orientation, it will adjust from nearly 90 degrees (Kindle almost completely vertical) back to around 45 degrees.
It seems designed to work with a naked Kindle, and I'm not sure it would be compatible with a cover. My Kindle has just a skin and the stand fits well. It's so unobtrusive I just carry the Kindle around with the stand still attached. You can charge the Kindle in the stand. The stand is lightweight, easy to pick up, and seems to hold the Kindle securely, though I wouldn't be swinging it around or anything. Great product!

I received this today, and have already used it. I'm so happy that I didn't try to buy a cover/stand combination, since I think it would have been a compromise solution. This is terrific. Since it's difficult to figure out from the photos: It's like a very flexible metal piping with rubber feet which can be twisted any way you want to for adjustments. It reminds me of a GUMBY! The flexibility makes it really easy to install and deinstall the corners so that your Kindle can be put back into a case.I often read with meals, and this is a hands free solution (not to mention much easier on my neck! I can sit with my head up, instead of bent down to the Kindle).
(5/1/11) Just a quick update:
I continue to use the stand often, and have found it useful while reading in bed. It props the Kindle up, so you can be more comfortable, and not have to hold it in one place while you read.
Enjoy!

I bought one for my K2 in February 2010. I loved it. The arms allowed me to form a holder for my K2 to place securely on my treadmill and recumbent bike. Reading while exercising makes the time fly by. All you do is turn on the TTS, turn the sound off, change the layout to landscape and enjoy your book. The TTS will automatically turn the pages for you. This cuts down the chances of knocking your Kindle over. Of course you can't do this wiith books that have the TTS disabled but just plan ahead.It came in the mail today and I can't wait to work out tomorrow! It also works great for just hands free reading. If you like to knit, crochet, or other crafts, now you can read while you do this too. I highly recommend this to all K3 owners.
