   It’s about 8 inches long and sturdy. Holds keys well. Cheap and happy with the product.

   I bought one of these 20 yrs. ago and have to buy another now. Cannot recommend it enough. Well made and a very beautiful sound. I just love the tinkling of the bells.

   This bell is sturdy and sweet. It’s very Victorian. I love the tinkling of the bells and it’s welcoming to those who enter. I know right away when my kids go in and out!

   The product is exactly what I was looking for but couldn’t find because I did not know what the correct name was for it. “That bell ‘thingy’ that used to hang on shop doors” just didn’t cut it when searching for the product. Once I knew to look for “shopkeepers bell” it was easy. This product is well made of real brass and is practical as well as beautiful. I only gave it a four star because I had to figure out how to keep the top on as it tends to unscrew as the bells(there are three) rotates. Ended up drilling a very, very small hole in the top and screwing in a brass screw to secure the top. One injured finger later the bell was mounted and delightfully announces whomever uses my back door–much better than the alarm buzzer that comes with the alarm system. If you don’t want the bells to ring just put a piece of tape on the hanging pendulum and silence reigns. Couldn’t be better. This would be great for a busy family trying to keep track of just where the kids are!!!

   Beautiful, well made, sturdy chimes. Love them, and an using them in my office as an alternative to the counter top bell customers ring to alert me.

   Great case, great price (a couple dollars more with “fullfillment” through Amazon, but if you have Prime Shipping works out cheaper and faster). I started with the original Kindle 2 Amazon cover with the hinges but wanted something that zipped & had room for the charger. This is a great solution…my Kindle cover fits right in under the 2 right elastics, the elastics are then not on the Kindle at all so not in the way, and I have no slippage issues. Plus there’s the extra protective surface between my kindle viewing area and the storage pouch. I find myself reading right in the case as it folds back pretty well. Case zips with only a little care around the Kindle cover without stressing the zipper.

   I bought this case a few months ago. It seems to be well made and is just what I wanted. It is small and compact, and it does its job of protecting the Kindle from shocks and contact with hard objects.

   The case is padded on the front and back and around all four sides. The Kindle is well protected from shock. When the case is unzipped, it can be laid flat, or the front cover can be folded behind the back cover (which is the one that holds the Kindle) so that the case can be easily held like a magazine with one hand. The four bands that hold the Kindle in the case do not interfere with any controls except the volume control on the upper right side. The inside of the front cover has a mesh pocket that can hold a few flat objects. I use it to hold the Getting Started manual, a thin Fresnel plastic magnifier about the size of the Kindle screen (sometimes useful for pdf files, which the Kindle cannot magnify), and a replacement screen protector. Having the manual in the pocket also has the advantage of covering the Kindle screen with a stiff piece of cardboard when the case is zipped closed, which helps protect the screen against impact with or pressure from a protruding object.

   I keep my Kindle encased in a silicone skin case gel cover, which protects the Kindle from scratches and greatly increases the grip on it when you are using it outside this CaseCrown case. The gel cover increases the thickness of the Kindle a little, but it still has no trouble fitting under the four tabs of the CaseCrown case that hold the Kindle in the case. Removing the Kindle from the case and putting back in is quick and easy.

   One possible drawback to this case is that there is no pocket for the power cord or for any other accessories, such as a reading light. CaseCrown makes another version of this case with an external pocket. I decided not to buy that version because the outside pocket makes the case much thicker, and I wanted a slim case. Also, the pocket is a smaller rectangle than the case itself, so it sticks out and gives the case an awkward irregular three dimensional shape that interferes with packing compactly among other objects in a briefcase or suitcase. However, if you want a pocket, you may prefer the version that has one.

   I have found that I can carry the power cord in this pocketless version by laying the plug along the top edge of the Kindle and laying the rest of the power cord along the left side of Kindle. When I zip the case closed, the cord is held tightly in position by the pressure of the case, and the case is not much thicker than it would be without the cord. However, the cord will fall out as soon as the case is opened, so my method only works for packing the Kindle for a trip. I have to leave the cord somewhere else when I am using the Kindle.

   One other minor deficiency in my view is that there is no external nylon loop to act as a handle for the case. You can make one and attach it to the zipper pull, though. There are two zipper pulls, so you can leave one at the top of the case and open the case by sliding the other pull around to the bottom, which is the way I always do it anyway. Then the attached loop would remain at the top of the case and out of the way.

   Update: I bought another of these cases for my Viliv X70 ultra mobile PC. This case is lighter, cheaper, and much better padded than the overpriced leather case that Viliv itself makes for the X70. The case’s straps hold the Viliv in the case, though they get in the way of using the Viliv a bit. Also, the Viliv’s weight (1.5 lbs) means that I do not rely on the straps when opening the case like a book and using the Viliv. I make sure to hold onto the Viliv itself, or I just remove it from the case for use.

   This case provides a good light weight alternative for carrying your Kindle2. It is well made of durable materials. The zipper system is particularly robust and the zipper-pull will take a lot of use. Users should not be afraid to use a bit more force to pull it. A lighter system would not be as effective or last as long. The case is very attractive with its map pattern — it will look at home in any library. Reviewers have correctly noted that the kindle tends to slightly shift in the case and slips downward thus making a loose fit. I Have found the solution to this. I cut a 5 inch x 1/4 inch strip from a thin (1/4 inch thick) kitchen sponge. I then wrapped a piece of black felt around the sponge and had my wife sew the ends together and well as sew the seam on the linear edge (it could also be glued with tacky fabric glue). I then cut a 5 inch section of black 2 part velcro tape placing one side on the sponge and one side on the bottom of the inner case (Be sure to place the velcro strip under the two diagonal elastic strips at the bottom of the case. Simply place the covered foam strip over the velcro strip at the bottom of the case. It holds the kindle snuggly in the case and without any direct modification of the case itself. The foam strip also holds down the diagonal elastic ribbons against the case without any stress. Since the covered foam strip and velcro are black, it is almost invisible. Cost: less than $2.00 and took about 5 minutes to fabricate. Note: This remedy does not permanently modify the case. You can always remove the foam strip and the velcro placed in the case . If you are looking for a soft carrying case with an attractive cover, this might be it.

   I JUST received my ‘CaseCrown Double Memory Foam Pouch Case for Kindle2 (Antique Map)’ and I LOVE it!!! I removed the CaseCrown logo…which left little dots where it had been…but I really just wanted it to just be the beautiful antique map design and the dots don’t bother me. I thought the whole case was made out of memory foam, but only the inside, which I was actually really happy to learn because I wanted more support. The outside is a tougher material with a very durable zipper and dual zipper pulls and is perfect! I couldn’t be more happy. I had actually seen the other case just like this one only with the outside pocket as well and fell in love with it but just didn’t want the pocket on the outside CaseCrown Double Memory Foam Pouch Case with Front Pocket For Sony Portable Digital e-Reader System (Antique Map)(reminded me too much of a bible cover…). When I finally found this one after hunting for what seemed like days…but was truly hours, I found this one and am now SO SO SO SO SO happy I bought it! My favorite books are stories from Jane Austen to Harry Potter so this case really represents what you will probably find inside: An all-over-the-world representation of my book taste from past to present. =) Hope you find this review helpful and happy hunting!
