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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great.
Reviewed in the United States on 13 November 2021
Color: Deep Sea BlueStyle Name: FabricVerified Purchase
I recently upgraded to the new Kindle in hopes that the amber light would help my sleeping issues. While I like the larger screen size, smoother surface, and the amber light, Amazon’s new case options are super disappointing. My older Kindle of six years had a lovely leather case. It was padded and felt luxurious and all the edges were softened. These new cases are harder, thinner, and have sharper edges. The cork case, which I expected great things from was the most disappointing. It feels cheap and like it won’t take much to rip. What’s more, the inside liner has no absorbency at all — after reading for a few minutes, my fingers were sweating and the case felt sticky and slippery. Yuck. Not to mention, when it’s opened, the sharp edge sticks out on the right side and isn’t pleasant for right hand holding. This is not a keeper. The fabric case is the same basic construction, but it does feel sturdier and the outside fabric is nicer to the touch. It has a microfiber inside liner that’s much more pleasant for holding while reading and doesn’t feel sweaty after reading for more than a half hour. The right edge goes back further when closed as well, so it’s less abrasive to hold with my right hand. What I don’t like about either version is the sharp line between the plastic case wrap and Kindle on the right side — my old one had, again, a much softer edge that curved further around the device and didn’t feel sharp on my thumb while holding. Bottom line: I am only moderately pleased with the fabric case but it’s considerably better than the $50 cork case, so I’m keeping the fabric case. Amazon, does no one test these products out as compared to your previous versions? How is it you’ve let your quality suffer so?

3.0 out of 5 stars Une grosse régression
Reviewed in France on 13 April 2022
Color: MerlotStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
J'ai eu entre les mains pendant des années une Kindle 4, et son étui en cuir. Ce dernier avait de belles finitions, et avait ce rendu premium tout en protégeant la liseuse (sur tout le bord, contrairement à celle de la paperwhite 11).

J'ai vu bon nombres de mauvais commentaires, mais je me suis décidé tout de même à la commander, pour me faire ma propre opinion. Et en effet, c'est une très grosse régression par rapport à l'étui que j'ai pu avoir entre les mains sur la génération de la Kindle 4.

En soi, je n'irais pas jusqu'à dire qu'elle fait vraiment bas de gamme : elle est aux bonnes dimension, le rendu à la lumière est correct et le rabat de l'étui est bien rigide.
Mais elle n'est certainement pas au niveau de finition d'un produit à ce prix, et surtout officiel, surtout comparativement à ce qui a déjà était fait sur les générations précédentes.

Espérons qu'Amazon en prenne compte.

Les plus : (Il y en a peu)
- Belle couleur
- Le rabat est bien rigide, et aimanté. (Allume ou met en veille la liseuse automatiquement)

Les moins :
- Le toucher et le rendu visuel du cuir fait synthétique (mais c'est pourtant bel et bien du vrai cuir)
- Le plastique fait assez bas de gamme.
- Le contour de l'étui ne fait pas le tour complet de la liseuse. Autrement dit, si elle tombe, elle n'est pas protégée sur les tranches.
- Le prix

3.0 out of 5 stars not the best,
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2022
Color: Deep Sea BlueStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
As a previous owner of the case for the kindle voyage origami case, which this is far from equal to that great design
Feels plastic more than leather, having to hold the hinge isnt as comfortable.
Should in no way be 35 pounds, maybe a tenner.
Seems like the case was an after thought rather than a design to compliment the kindle

3.0 out of 5 stars Does the job
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2022
Color: MerlotStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
Bought this when I had to upgrade my original kindle. Best case I could find but it’s nowhere near as good as the original leather one I’ve had since buying the first kindle available years ago. Feels cheap but it does the job and I think it will protect the reader perfectly well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Leather cover?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2021
Color: Deep Sea BlueStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
Like the screen and also the waterproof facility. Easy to set up and easy to buy books. Bought 'The Big Sleep' which for me is a good read, but was spoiled by quite a few typos which when encountered, put you of your stride. Also bought the recommended case, described as leather, but is plastic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Standardowe etui, nic wymyślnego
Reviewed in Poland on 25 November 2021
Color: Lavender HazeStyle Name: FabricVerified Purchase
Splot materiału jest gęsty, magnes dobrze trzyma, plecki dobrze wykonane. Spodziewałam się jednak, że brzegi będą wyższe, a góra i dół urządzenia również będą zakryte. Etui jest różowe, nie wiem gdzie trzeba mieć oczy żeby opisać je jako fioletowe. Napis kindle mógłby być w innym, wyróżniającym się kolorze, teraz jest ledwo widoczny. Jako zestaw z nowiutkim sprzętem polecam, chociaż po obejrzeniu na żywo uważam, że nie jest warte swojej ceny. Szkoda, że nie ma większego wyboru okładek.

Good fit, but the case isn't comfortable to hold. The inside edges are rigid and dig into your hand. Cheap feeling, despite the cost. I wish I had paid attention to previous reviews and bought an alternative!

It looks and feels still nice, but inner side looks and feels cheap. Also a bit strange to see lack of rubber frame on top and bottom.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quite nice but overpriced
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2022

I bought the leather version, though it just looks and feels like plastic to me. It also feels a little flimsy. In summary, OK, but certainly not worth the money.

Product looks good and when I first used it my kindle would switch on automatically but that has not stopped. Cannot find any instructions as to why
