I'm a huge fan of the Echo family. I have two Echo's, three Dots and one Tap. No they aren't essential to my life but I love playing music, listening to the news and controlling the Philips Hue smart lights throughout my home. It was a large investment that most of the population won't make - with that being said I am not a huge fan of the way the hockey puck Dots look like. Glossy plastic looks a little cheap to me although it has no effect on the performance of them. Having the Dot cover is a great option and it looks fantastic.
Some reviewers say they look cheap or fit too loose - I'm not sure why people are moving their Dots. Since Dots are made to be stationary, have a loose fitting cover isn't an issue. To me, it fits perfectly. They also aren't made of real fabric, but the important part is that it does look like the fabric in the picture. Not being fabric is a better option considering plastic is much more durable than material and will hold its color better if your Dot happens to get sunlight.
I bought three covers - Blue, Grey and White. They all look good but the grey is my favorite as it doesn't attract more attention than it needs to. With that being said, I like all three colors.
Edit 07/11/2017 - These covers hold up well over time. Mine haven't collected dust or faded. I've kept them on for over half a year and not a single issue (not that I'd expect any besides possible fading).
Echo Dot in my GMC Sierra Denali. At first she was just there with no support. She sat in that hole with no protection. Shifting, jiggling not knowing what can happen. There has to be something I can do. I looked and search and what I found is the "Fabric Case" for Alexa. This is it! A support she will be happy to wear. No more accidental popping out, no more shifting and readjusting, she is finally safe.
This is a great outer body sleeve for the Echo Dot. Very well made, has hardbody lining so it's not flimsy at all. Impressed with how nice this looks! It's perfect for my husbands mancave / office space!
Major fan, didn't buy this because of protection, bought it cause it will blend in to my decor. It is not a skin, so it's not skin tight. Yes it's loose but how often will you grab it and move it. Me maybe once every year.
My wife and I really like the way it looks. As others have said, it isn't a snug fit and is more like a sleeve than a case.

Description
Suit your style—Echo Dot Case is available in leather or fabric, a range of colors, and is designed to complement any room.
I am thoroughly impressed with my Echo Dot and this case takes it to the next level by appearing as a much higher end product; vs. a nerdy plastic computer sitting on your kitchen countertop. The construction is solid and it is slightly lifted to still allow audio access from the bottom of the Echo. This case/cover will give your Echo the needed extra touch allowing it to blend in, but still offer the great functionality of Alexa.
Yes the Echo Dot fits just a tad loose but it doesn't rattle when sitting inside this case. As one reviewer said, how often do you move your Dot anyway (I haven't moved mine for almost 2 years!). I got the gray "fabric" one, which looks like real fabric to me, even from 6 inches away, and it nicely matches my new Gen3 Dot in the other room as well. I thought it dresses up the black puck very nicely, particularly when it is sitting in front of my desk just below my computer monitors.
For $5 I thought it was worth it. I would have passed on it if it was selling for its original price of $15.
I don’t see any real purpose to it but to just make it look a little fancier and to match whatever your surface is.
I think amazon tried to compare it to the google mini which is all fabric. Idk but it’s ok.
I gave it 5 stars cause for the price you just can’t beat it, and for the use I really just can’t find anything bad.
There also leather options I might get one of those for my other Alexa’s.
This is perfect. A lot of people were commenting that the case falls off and it's not portable. That's not the intended use of the case. It is strictly for decorative use. It look great and comes in several color options. Would definitely purchase again.
Very pleased. The leather is real. It is over a durable plastic form that provides openings for the speaker. Sounds is actually better, since the unit is elevated a tiny bit more. I take my Echo Dot with me, and for that I bought a carrying bag and a silicon cover to protect against impact. But at home, this will be its nest. Well worth buying. NB, I keep my Echo Dot on an antique enamel ware saucer. The metal helps boost the sound. With this case on, it's pretty amazing. I'm a classical musician, and am impressed with the range of this small speaker. It has remarkable range.
