Review: Nice graphic but it isn't a top notch cover

In the box, I love the first impression, however after removing it and examining theGolla Vincent Cover for Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite, White, my enthusiasm deflated.  At a current price of forty dollars, I expected a lot from a synthetic cover manufactured in China.  An initial "smell" which is common for many items such as this didn't last for too long at the initial intensity and I believe it will eventually completely dissipate.  Visually, the graphic is very attractive and gender neutral, rather classy.  This is a heavier case that offers much more tailoring than most other cases, but the stitching isn't totally straight.  Additionally, I am very picky regarding threads and the one I received has more loose threads than I would accept if I were doing quality control.  The dimensions of the case are larger than others, a surprising finding.  Four elastic pieces are sewn into the case for securing the Kindle and each stretches substantially for the fit.  Be advised that this particular model absolutely will not hold a Kindle Keyboard, Kindle Fire or any of the HD models.  There is a strap for holding the case while reading, but I haven't used it yet and doubt that I will.  Before I inserted a Kindle, I tried several paper products in this case.  It holds 3.5"x5.5" pads of paper and 4"x6" index cards.  At the high cost for paper products currently, I thought this could possibly be used as a writing case.Golla has included labeling on every section of this case which I find to be overkill.  It was designed in Finland and manufactured in China.  It's nice but not the best at this price point because of the workmanship defects.
