I think overall this is a good case at a reasonable price, however I will be comparing it to the officialAmazon Leather Coverwhich I think is one of the most brilliantly designed covers I've ever used, even if it is twice the price. But here are my pros and cons for this case:PROS:- High quality, comfortable material- Provides adequate protection- Near-universal size (fits Paperwhite, regular Kindle and Kindle Touch)- Has a 'new car' smell- Budget price- LightweightCONS:- Difficult to hold one-handed. You can fold the flap back and band it shut, but it still feels weird. I really only like reading with it when using both hands, like a real book- 'strap' in design, rather than snap in, like the official case- no auto-sleep, auto-wake featureOVERALL: While the 'pros' seem to outweigh the cons, I still find this case to be a little awkward to hold which puts a big damper on my satisfaction. There's certainly nothing really flaw-worthy, but as a hardcore reader, I think it's well worth splurging the extra bucks on Amazon's leather case which automatically wakes and sleeps, has a snap-in design, stays shut without stretchy flap, and is generally much more comfortable in the hand, even if reading one-handed. I give this case a moderate recommendation.
