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 Decent fabric case, cut outs on holder tray are rather large
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2021
Color: BlackStyle Name: FabricVerified Purchase
This cover is fabric-coated at the front, and has a plastic tray that acts as a holder for the device at the back. The fabric coating is continued into an inset panel in the reverse of the tray.

The tray fits the Kindle snuggly. The device holder has cut outs running right the way along the top and bottom edges of the device. This means that the power button and charging port on the bottom edge of the device are always accessible – but the extent of the cut-outs leaves quite a lot of the device exposed. The tray could have covered a lot more of the device and offered better protection.

The fabric is quite a thick-feeling, textured canvas-style fabric. It’s black, but not uniform in colour and has a slight sheen to it. The texturing does help to make this anti-slip. Around the edges of the front cover the fabric is sealed with a sort of rubbery coating – and if this behaves like the seal on previous generations of Kindle cases I have owned, over time will start to peel off.

The cover folds over easily for one-handed reading, if this is how you like to hold your device, but doesn’t feel floppy if you prefer to hold this opened outwards book-like. The front cover isn’t padded, but has a soft-textured, light grey microfibre lining to help protect the device's screen. Auto wake works as it should.

For me, this seems a little on the expensive side for the build quality and level of protection offered.

I have tried two third party cases but both very poor quality and returned. The Amazon one is massively overpriced for what it is. Of average quality but perhaps the unworthy winner of best Kindle case 2021.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good features but over priced.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2022
Color: MerlotStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
My previous Kindle was bought in 2010, so I've no experience of how the covers have changed. I was, therefore, disappointed with this purchase.

There are good points:

It is very lightweight and adds little to the weight of the already light Kindle;

The magnet keeps the cover secure both closed, and opened fully;

The wake feature, where opening the cover starts the Kindle is good;

The microfiber interior ensures additional protection, without adding to the weight;

The colour is good. I chose Merlot;

The plastic casing hold the Kindle in position well.

There are also bad points:

The microfiber interior attracts dust, crumbs, etc, and requires regular brushing during use, and needs to be checked before closing;

The plastic parts, despite doing their job well, do not feel particularly strong;

The plastic parts look flimsy and cheap;

The front of the cover feels cheap, it makes a sound like cardboard if you accidentally hit it when open;

It is supposed to be leather, but neither smells, nor feels like it (my old leather Kindle cover still has a leather smell after more than 11 years), and it is unbelievably thin.

Despite the many positive features of this case, my overwhelming feeling is one of disappointment. It feels as if I have been cheated because, in my opinion, nothing justifies the price being charged.

I have given a 3* rating because of the positives. Had it cost £15, then it would have been a fairer price for the quality. As it is, it is not good value for money.

 Lovely colour, to be honest it doesn’t feel very leathery to me, on the inside is soft touch, and the kindle attachment is plastic. Not sure if the quality justify the price …

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but expensive

I thought it was expensive at the time of purchasing it, but I liked it and wasn't keen the alternatives. So I guess it's my fault for spending the money.
However, I like it and think it looks great and looks a bit different from other covers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Horrible texture, a step back in quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2021
Color: BlackStyle Name: FabricVerified Purchase
Obviously it fits really well, as it's an original product. However the fabric cover is very rough, almost like sandpaper, sending shivers down your back when touching.
The finishing around the edges was also very poor, and in places quite uneven and sharp, the shame was that this was where your hands naturally held it.
It was very obvious that the corners have been cut, and it was built to a lower standard than previous kindle cases.
I returned it immediately and ordered a non original one, which was cheaper, and very similar to previous cases.
Very poor show Amazon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Open and Shut Case
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2022
Color: MerlotStyle Name: LeatherVerified Purchase
Kindle looks great with the case and adds little bulk. Also nice feature that it awakens your Kindle when opening. However, it is difficult to justify the cost of a thin piece of plastic with an even thinner piece of leather. Maybe £10 cheaper would be reasonable and would certainly up my rating. Would I buy again? Probably yes as I do like the official case but would press the button with gritted teeth.
