I really like this case for my Scribe. I bought a Kindle Scribe during the Prime Day sale, and I knew I needed a case for it. I have the Kindle case for my Paperwhite made of the same material and color, so I thought I'd give it a go. I was a little apprehensive about the flip-cover nature of the case and the pen loop being located where it is, but it turns out to make the most sense for a device of this size and type. Since the auto rotate of the screen is locked into either portrait or landscape, then switching handles while reading and the case is open is very comfortable. and since it's a flip case, the magnet on the premium pen locks on the side for easy access whether the case is open or not.
Also, another thing to note: the Scribe is attached to the case via magnets. I read other reviews saying the magnets weren't strong enough and there was worry about the Scribe falling out of the case too easily. But honestly, that sucker is in there fairly tight. I have no concerns with it accidentally falling out.
Also, there were some other reviewers showing the material on the case fraying quickly. I haven't had the folio case long enough to really weigh in on my experience with the Scribe, but I have the Kindle Paperwhite case of the same material and it's been solid for a while (more than seven months). I also have a fabric case for my Kindle 10th Edition that's years old that is still appearing almost like new. So I'm happy with my purchase.
Overall, I'm very happy with my choice. The cost is a bit more than I'd like to spend, but based on cases of the same material from years past, I'm happy with it.

Looks beautiful, but wears out quickly even with heat-sealed edge
I'm not a heavy user. I mainly use the Kindle Scribe to take notes and read occasionally when I don't have my Kindle Paperwhite with me. Still, the case wore out in less than 10 months. The case looks great and is convenient to use, but it's not durable enough for the money.

I purchased this cover because it came with a bundle. That being said, it would've been my go-to as I was having trouble finding any other magnetic cover. Most were clip on devices and I wanted to be able to take the case off when reading in bed due to weight. I enjoy the cover as it let's me prob the device at an angle for writing or for reading. My only gripe with the angle for writing is it is a bit severe of an angle for me. The vertical orientation for reading is great. The stylus holder has not loosened yet so that's good. I do find the cover opens sometimes in my bag but that's mostly because I put the tablet stylus holder up so I don't crush the stylus. The stylus weight then opens the cover in my bag. Overall a good cover. Love the fabric and eas of removal.
Good cover for the Kindle Scribe but wearing quickly.

Quality improved on the latest stock! Edges are heat-sealed to prevent loose threads.
I bought the Scribe essentials pack in November, with the blue denim Folio. The price for the folio by itself seems steep, but it's very reasonable if you wait for Amazon Day/Black Friday/Boxing Day pricing along with the bundle discount.steve_rolfecaQuality improved on the latest stock!

The more I used it, the more I realized what a good overall design it is:
- Multiple kickstand angles make it useful in a variety of situations. It's very stable when standing up.
- Surprisingly, the fabric didn't seem to soak up fluids, or get stained from handling.
- Protruding edges and strong magnetic attachment make it surprisingly protective for an open-sided case, and help to keep the pen in place if you leave it magnetically attached to the Scribe.
- Still, I found that the pen could get bumped off too easily when picking the tablet up, or walking around with it. That's when the pen loop is invaluable. It has just the right tension to hold the pen, yet it's easy to retrieve when you're ready to write.
- The fabric is grippy, and makes it easier to hang on to the device when reading.
- I wasn't sure about a top-hinged cover at first, but it turned out to be very accommodating when seated, writing on a table, lying on my back or on my side while reading in bed, etc.
- BIG feature for left-handed users: you can flip your Scribe 180 degrees in the case, so the "grip side" of the Scribe is on the right, and the cover still works perfectly- not just as a cover, but as a kickstand. Access to the power button is just as good for right-hand or left-hand use. This is a major plus- seem my comment below about trying an Onyx Boox tablet with a side-hinged folio cover!
My only complaint about the fabric folio, was the way it was finished- the edges felt almost uncomfortably sharp, and as other people have reported, regular handling over a couple of weeks was enough to cause the edges to start fraying. I actually had to trim little threads off the cover with my nail scissors.
My reason for posting this review, is that I returned my Scribe before Christmas in order to try out a competing tablet from Boox. That experience further reinforced what a good little folio this is. The placement of the magnets on the Note Air3 C folio wasn't symmetrical- it was cumbersome, but stood firm in right-handed use. But when I flipped the tablet, the magnets were now in the wrong place- it wouldn't stand up at all!
I ended up returning the NA3C, and ordering another Scribe. Imagine how pleased I was when I unboxed the Folio (I got the blue denim again), and discovered that it has neatly rolled and heat-sealed edges! Picture attached...
The new edge treatment makes it feel more comfortable in the hand, and pulled threads shouldn't be a problem this time around.
