Review: If the price were lower, it would have been 5 stars.

This case is definitely overpriced.  The only consolation is that when you close the cover it puts the Kindle Paperwhite to sleep.  And the only reason I ordered a new cover for my Paperwhite is because as much as I liked my old cover, the strap bothered me.  I was always trying to find a way for it not to be obtrusive.I found the color to be a wonderful rich, almost eggplant color.  I have no problem with the feel of it; and I am a leather person all the way.  For all the complaints about the plastic part of this cover, it really cannot be anything else but that.  I has to be molded to hold the Paperwhite securely for if you know anything about leather, it likes to stretch, pick up oils from your skin, and get soft and pliable.  Better molded plastic (with a soft covering) than a broken Kindle that falls out of the cover.I think this at $25.00 is a much fairer price and so I gave it 4 stars based on overpricing alone.  If it were $10.00 cheaper I would have given it 5 stars.  And, should the maker of the cover read this and offer me a $10.00 (or more) refund, I will be happy to add a star.  Just sayin'...........
