Review: Nice case. But has a chemical odor.

This well-designed and nicely made Kindle case will work particularly well for those who take their Kindles out of the house. The somewhat metallic gold color will ensure that the Kindle does not disappear visually in the way those black items do.The Kindle snaps into a plastic bottom cover that then snaps into the case, in a manner that allows it to be removed easily but still be protected. That's good because we all know how difficult it is to get a reader or phone out of a case into which it has been snapped.There are features of the case, such as pen holder and card slots, that would almost allow the case to be used as a wallet. Again, this may appeal to some who take their Kindles with them. There is a very nice short wrist leash.There are a couple of downsides, though. One is odor, which so far has not dissipated. This odor is probably from the dye/paint used to make the case its attractive gold color. The other is that the case is a bit heavy.
