ISeeSee Kindle Paperwhite Case Cover SmartShell Holding Case for Kindle Paperwhite Fits All Paperwhite Generations Prior to 2018 (Not Fit All Paperwhite 10th Gen) (Upgrade-Dark blue)

I really wanted a Paperwhite cover with a handle, and the ISeeSee was the only one I was able to locate. Yet I was reluctant to purchase it because of reports that the cover was a bit to small to work satisfactorily. However, most reviewers did not report a problem, so I took the risk--and am thrilled I did. The Paperwhite snapped into place without a hitch and closed and latched perfectly. An added bonus of the product with the included screen protector, which installed perfectly in about a minute (just be sure there is absolutely no dust on the screen). Also included is a stylus.If you want a cover with a good handle, I suggest you try this one. Chances are you will not encounter any problems, but you do, simple return it and ask for another one.I can not speak to the durability of the unit, as I just received it. But it appears to me to be equal in quality to any other cover I have used for a Kindle or other similar device.

My ISeeSee Paperwhite Cover is in my mailbox awaiting today's return pick-up. :( The problem is, I LOVED the look of the thing but it did not fit. At all. I took another reviewer's advice (from today's date) and flexed that cover so much I thought I'd have folded that front coverboard in HALF if I bent it any more! My Paperwhite could NOT have been more firmly seated. I pushed & pushed on all 4 corners and made CERTAIN my Paperwhite was 100% parallel. (It was in there SO firmly in fact, I could hardly get it out of the case when it was time to remove it)! The blue tape was removed (not that it mattered...more on that below). I even tried pulling on the front cover to see if maybe I could stretch the center portion out a bit. Of course it's not real leather so I figured that wouldn't help much and, it didn't.After all these things, when I laid it down on my desk the right side was still sitting propped open a full *HALF INCH*! We are talking gaping open a HALF inch! No where NEAR closed! So I guess that's nothing to do with the strength of the magnet here, lol! You all should know however when my PW wasn't inside the cover, the magnet itself did seem *plenty* strong. I actually don't think that is anyone's problem. It's more likely that folks are having fit issues here versus magnet-strength issues.So unlike that previous reviewer (from today's date!), I AM convinced *some* (not all, but some) of these are defective. And I see how the Manufacturer responds to negative reviews (it has to do with seating the device properly, making sure it's parallel, then removing the blue tape over the magnet). The thing is, my Paperwhite fit perfectly FINE...100% parallel...into the shell. That wasn't the problem. I believe it would only have to be a millimeter or two off in the way the cover is SEWN together and the way the cover is GLUED together for there to be a total misfit and throw the entire cover into misalignment. And the one I received was very, VERY off (by a half-inch differential.)I DID have a VERY similar cover that I bought here on Amazon by TuoP Tec. Although that case fit well, when the time came to replace it I thought I might switch to this brand since I like the smooth PVC back-design better.Now, I'm not sure as to whether I should give ISeeSee another try (perhaps I just got one of those defects?) or go back to the TuoP Tec. So many people are having success with the ISeeSee covers that I'm tempted to give them another go and see if I can get a "good" one this time. Decisions, decisions.

I bought this case because I was looking for a Kindle case that had a strap to help me hold it. Unfortunately the inside part of the strap where you put your hand is not very comfortable or smooth and can even scratch during the winter months (when skin can be drier). It would’ve been better if the same soft part of the case was also on the inside part of the strap to protect fingers and hands.I’m also not fond of the outside of the case: the pattern is raised and not very smooth or attractive.UPDATE, 08/21/20: Less than a year later pieces are breaking off the edge of the case. See photo.

I've a 2016 Kindle Paperwhite. This upgraded version of the 'ISeeSee' cover fits perfectly and performs with no glitches. When closed, the cover places the device into sleep mode; and opened, the device comes back to life from sleep. I bought this cover for strap feature. I sometimes find a comfortable hand-hold is a bit tricky to find, usually when I'm reading in bed. I didn't realize would be so comfortable to use when sitting a chair and reading. The center placement (re inside of front cover) of the strap makes for a secure left or right hand-hold; also, placing the strap in the center means the weight distribution is pretty much centered when using the strap. I've had similar covers for other e-readers where the strap was closer to the cover's spine, and my Kindle would kind of slip downward. The center strap enables me to hold the strap and the spine, eliminating that issue. I've had the cover only a matter of hours, if this holds up and continues to perform as new, it's the best strapped cover I've used on my e-readers. The frame holds my 2016 device securely and the cover's external material (a polymer that feels like vinyl) has a pattern that makes it easy to hold, i.e,, it won't slip out of your hand(s); and the interior feels good, like a cross between felt and faux suede.

The reason I got this case was to have a way to turn pages with one hand and it works pretty well for that. But to do it I have to use a trick. My thumb is still near the screen like the picture shows but my index finger is between the back of the case and the front of the case and my other 3 fingers are through the strap. This gives me leverage to turn the page with my thumb. It's similar to what I did with my old case that didn't have the strap, but the strap gives extra leverage. The picture makes it look like it's meant to be held in the left hand but I think it works better in the right. The part your hands slips through is on the right side not the left.

The case closed fine for me and the magnet put it to sleep which is nice. The quality looks and feels great. The only problem I have is that I was expecting some type of magnet to hold it open when I have the cover flipped back and I’m reading in bed. So since I still have to hold the cover my hand isn’t really big enough to even keep in the strap. I don’t know if that makes sense but if someone knows of a case that somehow stays open and has a hand strap let me know.
