Review: Good Protection with Some Problems
Rating: 3 out of 5

This cover fits the Kindle Paperwhite well and makes it easy to hold. It also protects the Kindle and doesn't add too much weight to it when reading. There was one major flaw and one minor issue though. The major flaw is ascetic though so you can live with it. That flaw is that the gold embossing on the jacket was already flaking off when the cover arrived and is spotty in many places. The minor issue is that because the cover uses elastic bands to hold the Kindle in place the Kindle edges are recessed from the edges of the cover which makes it somewhat difficult to turn the Kindle on and off because the button is hard to feel without looking at it. This becomes an issue if you are reading in the dark because you can't see the button and have to poke around for it. I can live with both flaws and overall I like it but would have preferred that the gold embossing have been omitted.
