I truly love this cover, and I have a few of them to compare it to.  This one is made out of what feels like a very smooth vinyl material instead of cloth like some, so it getting dirty isn't much of an issue which could be with a white background.  It's a cute, fun print and holds my Kindle VERY securely.  I have a Kindle Touch, and it is a very tight fit to get it into the straps.  I think the Paperwhite is slightly larger, so I'm not sure how well it would fit because it was an effort to get the Touch into the straps.  But once in there, it doesn't move!!  As for the "horribly toxic smell" one person complained about, she needs to get a grip.  Yes, it has a faint smell that's like vinyl or rubber, but it is just that---faint, and I suspect it will go away with time.  My only suggestion is that as cute as the teal stretchy ribbon is that holds the Kindle closed, I'm wondering if it won't break at some point.  A magnet closure would maybe be better.  Oh, and in my opinion, it's over-priced, but it does seem to be quality so maybe it's worth it.
