Realistically, you can find the same type of cover for less. This one has a higher price point since it has licensed characters on it. It is sufficient for my needs, but not my choice for hard travel. Besides, I mostly read my Paperwhite with a silicon shell case to make it easier to hold. I only use cases like this on the rare occasions the Paperwhite leaves the house for a short period of time, like going out for a pedicure. (Although I use my Kindle phone software more often when I go out.) It will protect your screen or help you keep your reading more private if that is what you want.That said, I love Snoopy and his doghouse and the cover just makes me smile, so it is happy making. The straps for holding the Kindle in place are sturdier and more substantial than the cheaper covers you may find at discount stores, like Ross or TJ Maxx, for example. I trust my Kindle to this case over the Jane Eyre cover I got for $10 at TJ Maxx earlier this year. It is also lightweight and doesn't add to much to the Kindle's bulk, but it's still more bulk than I like for casual reading at home.Finally, I'm giving three stars since the Snoopy image is raised and I am concerned at its wearability with heavy usage. Also, the leatherette will scratch easily--I scratched it accidentally with my fingernail getting it out of the box.But I still like it, plan to use it, and will enjoy Snoopy.
