Colour Name:Royal Purple|Amazon Verified Purchase
This cover provides neat, close-fitting protection for your Kindle. The Kindle slots into a moulded plastic tray at the back of the case, with nothing intruding onto the device itself. A section at the bottom of the Kindle is left exposed to allow permanent access to the micro USB port. The front cover is thin and lacks additional padding, but 12 months of carrying a baby Kindle around in a case with a similar-style cover has resulted in no harm, so I'm reasonably confident in the protection this will provide.
The leather is textured and has been applied as a surface covering to both the front section of the cover and the plastic tray at the rear. The leather doesn't have the lovely, soft tactile sensation that went with Amazon's Kindle Keyboard covers but doesn't seem to mark as easily as the Amazon leather covers for the baby Kindle/Kindle Touch models (a fingernail is enough to leave a permanent scrape on those). The purple colourway I ordered is disappointing - much darker than product photos suggest.
The cover bends back easily enough for one handed reading, but the 'spine' section on the latest version of the Amazon brand cover does seem to have been reinforced, so that it doesn't flop awkwardly backwards if you prefer to hold the cover two-handed. The microfibre lining of the interior is very shallow-piled and resembles black denim.
The biggest problem I had with the last generation of Amazon cases - the lack of closing mechanism - has been addressed here, courtesy of a lightweight magnet. This works simply, engaging when you shut the cover, and requires no extra fiddling.
The cover isn't cheap, but is comparable in price to cases currently offered by Verso and Marware.... Read more ›

The new cover seems to add as little bulk as possible to the Kindle, whilst protecting it and looking smart. The Paperwhite lighting means the bulk needed for a light in previous covers (eg the Sony) is no longer impeding easy use.

Colour Name:Ink Blue|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've had a few Kindles and have always bought the official cover, despite the fact that cheaper alternatives are always available, mainly because Amazon have unerringly supplied me with quality products and the official covers have usually had some form of extra functionality.
In previous covers this has been provided by the built-in lights in the cover, but this time, as the Paperwhite has its own light, the cover automatically sleeps and wakes the Kindle as you close and open the case. And I have to admit that, while it's not exactly difficult or time-consuming simply pressing the button on the Kindle, it's a little touch that adds just a little bit more joy to using the Kindle.
The cover itself is very slim, fits the Kindle perfectly and looks neat and smart sat on your desk or bedside table. The front is ever so slightly padded and the brushed metal accent of the magnetic clasp adds to the appeal and seems to keep the cover reasonably securely closed, as long as you don't wave your Kindle in the air. The texture of the leather reminds me somewhat of some old leathery library books that sat on the shelves at my school and evokes feelings of quality and learnedness.
At the end of the day it's a cover, so there's nothing to lose any sleep over, but what it does it does well and it's certainly a quality product.
Marked down by one star as it's probably a tenner too expensive.

Colour Name:Persimmon|Amazon Verified Purchase
Both my partner and I bought this case for our new kindles. The open and close mechanism worked fine initially, that is, when we opened the case the kindle switched on and switched off when the case was closed. However, we both had the same problem when carrying the kindle around with use - the kindle battery completely drained even though the case was either shut properly or when the kindle had never been opened in the first place. The case must open, even just a bit, when in a bag, and seems to need a more secure fastener. We have now requested a refund for the item and will choose an alternative, which is a shame because it's a nice case.

Colour Name:Persimmon|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have the persimmon cover for my new Kindle and I must say that I like the colour immensely. It is less orangy that it appears in the picture and even has a slight tinge of pink. Almost impossible to describe. It is really nice to have a cover that it is an unusual colour and not just bog standard red, black or blue.
The kindle slots in easily enough to a sort of rubberised frame and is gripped really well. It's certainly not going to fall out in a hurry but you don't need to worry about clips like you do with the keyboard covers. The closed cover is small and neat with rounded corners which I like as my KK cover has discoloured significantly with dirt at each end of the spine. Compared with the KK in a cover it is about an inch smaller in length, the same width, but much thinner. It just feels more compact.
There is no elastic bungee closing but a magnetic clip which reinforces the simple lines. I am trusting that the clip will stay magnetised as if it ever failed the whole thing would flap open (I have no reason to believe that it would fail and to be fair, I worried about the elastic on the KK cover and it has lasted intact for 18 months). I can't see that it will come open accidentally unless you have it in a bag with other objects which might jostle it - you wouldn't really want that to happen and I am not sure how likely it is.
Somehow, every time you open and close the case it activates the Kindle so you never see the screensavers unless you turn it off manually. It's a gimmick, clever but probably unnecessary except that the on/off button on this kindle is fiddly and if you have problems with your fingers this is probably more satisfactory.... Read more ›

Nice cover
The cover itself I liked, but the price is too high. There are no other options if you want to protect your Kindle, which is bad.

Nice cover, and will stand up straight but not at an angle, so if sunbathing say it has to lie flat on ground.
