This is a plastic, padded cover with a cityscape design in black and white. The case is held closed by an elastic band that fits into a groove, and the Kindle is held in place by four elastic corner bands inside. This is very basic. Over time, the elastics will age and fail (that is the fate of elastic; eventually it gives up the ghost.) But for while you have it, and possibly the Kindle Paperwhite or basic 6" Kindle, it works well. It closes firmly and protects your e-reader.The graphic will make you smile, if you are a user of Photoshop Elements. The graphic is one of those "convert my photograph to a sketch" versions you can make with such software. Even so, it looks good and you can smile because you could make just as good a design yourself.The price-per-value of this case? It's just ok, and that's why it's three stars. For almost 2/3 the cost of a Kindle 6" model (or about what you'd pay for a refurbished Kindle) you pay for a case that just protects. It doesn't have any pockets, any pen or stylus loop and it has no light. But you can pick up a cheap reading light at a Dollar Store.Bottom line:Classy looking. Plastic padding will protect from dirt and banging around.Fits those particular models of Kindle (Kindle Paperwhite, 6" High Resolution Display with Next-Gen Built-in Light, Wi-Fi - Includes Special Offers, 6"Kindle, 6" E Ink Display, Wi-Fi - Includes Special Offers (Black)A tad pricey for what it is.
