5.0 out of 5 starsDon't pay extra for fake leather
Reviewed in Australia on 1 November 2021
Excellent, very happy with the purchase. I went with the fabric case because I saw the "leather" covers in store and I would bet money there is no real leather in them at all, they felt like hard plastic that had been pressed to create marks that look like leather. So naturally I went with the fabric case as it's cheaper and does the same thing.

Feels good in the hand, feels strong and of good quality and easy to hold when open and folded back on the Kindle.

3.0 out of 5 starsWorks well enough, but doesn't look, feel or smell like leather.
Reviewed in Australia on 14 November 2021
Fits my new Paperwhite well and does everything it needs to do with efficiency. It seems tough and should last. But i expected something softer, grippier, and more natural feeling. This cover looks and feels like hard plastic and fails to deliver the sort of feel I've always enjoyed with the various Kindles I've owned over the past many years, since the earliest versions. That makes it expensive for what it is, and I would have looked for something else if I'd known what I now know about its feel. I suggest you check it out before you buy, to avoid disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Plastic not leather.
Reviewed in Australia on 7 January 2022
Color: BlackStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
Decided to upgrade my wife's well used kindle for a new gen. The leather case we had for the original unit was really well made and beautiful to touch.

Ordered this cover without much thought figuring it would be the same quality. How wrong we were.

I'm not sure whether it should be described as pleather or just plastic. Horrible to touch, hard cover, honestly not sure how it can be described as a leather cover as I don't think there is a piece of leather on the whole case.

Very disappointing and a huge step backwards from the cases previously supplied for Kindles.

Purchase something else if you have a choice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terribly cheap feeling
Reviewed in Australia on 19 March 2022
Color: MerlotStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
Just upgraded to the new Kindle from my old Paperwhite and replaced my leather cover too. I was so disappointed in this cover, I thought they'd sent the wrong one at first, but they don't have a plastic version so it might be right. I can't believe how much the quality has dropped - doesn't look or feel anything like leather. It's cheap and nasty, despite the price. Returned.

For the cost and brand, all I can say is I'm disappointed.

I'd get a refund if I could, but they don't allow it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly Cheap
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2021
Color: BlackStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
When Amazon announced the new Kindle Paperwhite, having had my previous model for around eight years, I decided to upgrade. As with my last purchase, I bought the official Amazon leather case.

The Kindle is a premium device and my previous leather case added to that premium feel. The new case has clearly been made with far less care. The shell on my old version was a rubber-coated plastic. On the new case, the shell is just plastic. This thin plastic does not feel anywhere near as nice to hold and feels as though it may crack or smash if dropped.

On my old case, the leather was stitched and had a slightly tactile spriginess. On the new case, the leather is glued onto more plastic. Again, it just feels rubbish.

The only minor improvement with the new case is the microfibre cloth on the inner cover. (Though in fairness, I never had any issues with the fabric cover on my previous version).

It disappoints me that Amazon's own leather case now seems to have declined in quality, to such a degree that a third-party case or sleeve is likely to be my prefered option. I will be returning this case after submitting this review.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bin enttäuscht
Reviewed in Germany on 31 October 2021
Color: BlackStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
Diese Original Amazon Lederhülle hat mit der alten Lederhülle nichts mehr gemeinsam. Die Vorgängerhülle machte einen wertigen Eindruck, hatte eine Gummierte Umrandung und passte zu dem wertigen Design des Gerätes.
Die Hülle des für den neue Kindle ist einfach eine Plastikschale, in die der Reader wunderbar hineinpasst und das war es auch. Der schmale Rand der Hülle stört beim Halten und der Deckel wirkt wie dünne Plastik. Kein, überhaupt kein Vergleich zur Wertigkeit des Vorgänger Modelles.

Schade für das Geld
