The Golla Angela Cover is a pretty, medium rose pink color with an embossed flower design on the front and back.When I opened the case, I was surprised to see the elastic bands were not attached near the corners of the case, but 1" inside the edges of the case. I didn't think my Paperwhite would even fit, but it did. I had to stretch the elastic band out & away from the case, then hold it up to slide it over the Paperwhite. It wasn't hard, but it's difficult to explain. Next I closed the case, that's when I realized that this is not a sleep/wake case.I really like to use hand straps to hold my Kindles. The hand strap on this Golla case is too tight & doesn't have any elastic on it so it does not stretch. When I use the hand strap it causes the front of the case to bend.The case is stiff. When I fold the front cover back to read, I find it easier to hold if I secure the front cover with the elastic band. I think with more use, the binding will loosen & I won't need to do this.  (It's already loosening up - I don't need to hold the front cover back with the elastic band)One thing I like is the case has almost a 1/2" border around the Paperwhite. So I don't have to hold the Paperwhite & case together, I can rest my thumb on the case when I'm reading. This makes it much easier for me to hold.
