I wanted a new cover for my Paperwhite, one prettier than my generic black one. I was excited to get this Golla Angela cover because it looks really nice. It has a nice pink color and pattern. Nothing too loud but still nice looking.But, this is not a comfortable cover. First, getting my kindle into the straps took a bit of effort because the straps are sown into the middle of the cover, so you really have work to get them to stretch around the corners of the kindle paperwhite. It may lead to overstretching of the straps because they are stretched out to the limit. The kindle moves and shifts in the straps. They allow the kindle to slide too much.The second issue is that it is rather heavy and bulky for a cover. A kindle is lighter than a book, and I love that. But, adding this cover will make the entire thing as heavy as a hard cover book. Further, it is not a comfortable cover for reading. The cover does not bend back well as it is too stiff and hard. You have to use the elastic band to secure the left  side tof the cover. It crackles around the spine and it loses shape after having it tied back for even a few minutes. I try to get it back into its shape but, even after a few weeks of use, I can already see a that long spine crease has formed. I feel I am breaking it.The strap for the hand is uncomfortable as well and I will never use it. I guess I will be going to my generic black cover that is very light and comfortable. I can see this getting overstretch over time. Moreover, if you use the strap for the hand, you will have to reach further to turn the page.This cover is compatible with theentry level Kindleand theKindle Paperwhite.
