Kindle Paperwhite Case Cover SmartShell Holding Case for Kindle Paperwhite Fits All Paperwhite Generations Prior to 2018 (Not Fit All Paperwhite 10th Gen) Purple

My 11 year old case finally started peeling apart, so I was on the hunt for a replacement. I ordered and returned four other cases - one too bulky, one too flimsy, one with a cutout that was distracting, and one the wrong case for my Kindle that I mistakenly ordered. This was the fifth one I ordered, and I liked it except that the cover would not engage the magnet. I could see that the foam insert where the Kindle goes was too thick, and it warped the cover. I liked everything else about it - beautiful color, smooth to the touch, thin and lightweight - so I ordered a replacement, hoping the insert issue wouldn't be the same. It arrived with a perfectly fitting insert and a working magnet, so I finally have my replacement. I usually read holding the Kindle propped between my thumb and fingers or on a small adjustable desktop stand, so rarely use the strap. I've used it daily for two months, and it still looks and feels new.

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this case is. Nicely made, fits nicely in the hand and looks expensive. I read some reviews where the on/off feature from opening and closing the flap didn't work. I don't have that problem. The only comment I have is that there is no place to put the stylus if you choose to use it to touch the screen. It is nice to have the option not to get fingerprints all over the glass. I also was surprised to receive a glare cover I could use, sealed cloths to clean the screen, guide stickers and a dust absorber. Overall, this was an excellent buy and I am very pleased.

The case is nice looking. It closes easily stays securely shut. I like that I can hold it with my hand slipped through the band but you have to hold it tightly to keep the front of the case lined up with the back cover. All in all I recommend it and would buy it again.

iseesee paperwhite case cover with holding handle. Absolutely love it. Just got paperwhite a month ago and love that. Wanted something to provide a little protection so I can throw it in a bag or in the car without worrying about the screen being scratched or anything happening. I was drawn to this one because of the integrated handle and the different colors (I got dark brown and I love it). Used it for a few days now regularly throwing in the car and taking it out to read occasionally. Lid stays closed solidly with the magnet. The paperwhite itself snaps firmly into place perfectly and doesnt feel like its going to pop out or anything, it is snug. The little integrated hand strap: I'm not sure how much I will actually use as I am finding it comfortable to hold without using it but I may adapt to it and it sounded like a great idea. The strap is perfectly flush and provides no bump or anything, you dont know its there until you want to use it. I would say get with the strap you may love it, if not, it isnt noticeable really. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

Way nicer than I expected. Love the strap on the back. Makes holding it and reading in bed so much easier. I was surprised it actually fit. Wasn't sure it was correct one. But it's perfect.

This is a nice looking cover. But it does not stay closed. Either the magnet is too weak or the strap is too bulky. I’m sending it back, as I want my device to shut off when the cover is closed and it does not do that with this front cover that doesn’t lay flat.

Updated; the magnet that keeps it closed comes off every time it is opened. Not even a year old. Love it and perfect fit for eReader from 2017; Edited I edited to 4 stars from 5 because after using this for 1 week the strap on the back is rough and not adjustable for anyone with smaller hands so my finger tip gets irritated due to the strap rubbing. Wish the strap could move side to side to accommodate smaller hands, and maybe have felt or something to soften the texture. Love the aqua color and the strap to hold it while you read. I have arthritis so holding my other leather case that wore out it often caused discomfort in my index and thumb joins. Glad I bought it and would recommend.

Pros: - Looks great - Protects the kindle all the way around - The magnet works to sleep/wake the Kindle - Light weight Cons - The strap, though better than holding the Kindle on its own, still fatigues my hand after 45 min or so. - The strap is very tight. - The inside material is a soft, felt-like material that I have already pulled some threads out. - The small magnet is not secured very well. It very quickly became loose and so I have to be very careful in opening the cover lest I pull the magnet out. - DON'T CARRY THIS IN YOUR POCKET! If the cover is jostled it moves against the magnet and repeatedly wakes and sleeps the Kindle repeatedly and so the battery drains VERY FAST. If you don't jostled the cover then battery performance is unaffected. Overall it is an OK case that works decently enough for my needs
