I was lucky and bought the right case the first time. In looking for a new case for my (pre-ordered) Kindle Paperwhite, I've been frustrated in not being able to find a zippered case that *dosn't* use the corner straps because I'm so happy with this one a lesser case wouldn't do. This case zippers completely, SECURELY locks in your Fire with clamps (not straps like all the others, there is absolutely no jiggle), and apparently the beige one which I chose for the dual-tone aesthetics has the added advantage of including a second manufacturing material, canvas, along with the nylon entirely avoiding any cheap plastic feel. The fit is snug and I have never removed it (and it has never come loose). It does not have the stand/360 rotation advertised with the others, but I'll take the zippered security and fastly held mechanism over the straps/occassional drops any day. It is manufactured well for quality with durable materials, and (especially zipped) provides reasonable protection against rain and the elements. This is the only case I'm aware of that provides both a zippered enclosure for the Fire and the security of clamps. After a year of use there has been no problems with the zippers, etc. I wish they'd make it for the Paperwhite (I'll try and see if it fits), and I would love more pretty colors and spectacular designs to choose from :)
