Review: Best of the Four Kindle Cases I've Owned

I've had four kindles--first gen, second, touch and now paperwhite--and bought cases for all of them, and none of them have been as elegant or as well-designed as this one. I'll be honest, I balked at the price; it's half what I paid for the actual device! But when I started finding scratches on my paperwhite I bit the bullet and ordered this case, hoping it would be as good as other reviewers claimed. And it is. It's slim and lightweight. The paperwhite fits perfectly in it, and once it's inside there's no spare room, no wiggling, and best of all the case is very unobtrusive; when you're reading it, it just looks like a thin brown rim around the device's existing black border. I like that it doesn't lie on top of the device in any way when it's open. It gets out of its own way.The fact that the kindle wakes up when you open it is a nice (and mysterious) touch.Also, it's stylish without being pretentious, and it looks a lot like a daily planner when closed, which is nice if you don't want it to be obtrusive.So, yes. Nice job on this one!
