Review: An "ok" case, uses elastic to secure the corners, but pricey

What you are buying with this case is a fancy, decorated cover with a cheap inside. I have the official amazon kindle paperwhite case which runs $39, this Golla Vincent case is also $39. The official case is built well, it's very solid, this case also is built well and seems like it offers good protection. HOWEVER the huge difference is the mounting style used to secure the kindle. The official case uses a snap in frame where it fits snug and secures it while complimenting the kindle. This case uses elastic straps in the corners to hold the kindle, I don't like those given the $39 price tag. For the price they are selling this case at they should have a sleek mounting system where the kindle snaps in, not this elastic method. Really what you are buying is the printed design on the outside. If I was going to spend $39 I have to be honest and say I would prefer the official kindle paperwhite case from amazon. There are other cases that use this same elastic mounting system that are $19 (marblu) is one of the brands I tried out and it was good for the price. I just can't justify the premium they are charging when considering the cheap ways they are securing the kindle.
