Review: Lightweight Protection

This is a nice, lightweight yet sturdy cover. When I switched to the Paperwhite, there was only one option for a case, and I got this just as that one began to shred. I like the feel of this, I like the weight, I like the choice of colors. There's a band to hold the cover shut - a handy feature if your Kindle is in and out of a variety of purses and carry-alls. I'm still getting used to the fact that the Kindle doesn't automatically turn on when you open the cover, but I think that I enjoy this feature. So far (about two weeks) I've yet to open my case to find that the Kindle is on and merrily running some ad or other. As the Paperwhite doesn't hold a charge as long as my old Kindle did (a trade-off I'm willing to live with in order to NOT have to carry a light around), I resent every moment that it has turned itself on. Overall, the Atlas cover is a good, inexpensive choice.
