If you're not looking for a case for your Paperwhite & are not concerned about dropping it, Marware's Silicone Skin might be what you're looking for.  It won't protect the Paperwhite's screen but will protect the front, back, sides & edges from scratches & mild impact. It fits securely & allows access to all ports & buttons. The silicone skin is fairly light (approx. 2.6 oz) & doesn't add much weight to the Paperwhite (7.3 oz.) The total weight for both is 9.9 oz. almost 10 oz.  The silicone skin is thick, (shouldn't tear like thinner silicone covers) & durable. It is advertised not to get sticky & has a textured pattern on the back for a better, one-handed grip. It fits the Paperwhite that was released the end of 2013...I call it the Paperwhite 2nd gen.
