PROS:- has a 'new car' smell- velvety smooth texture that is fun to touch- chic, elegant design- keeps kindle firmly in place, provides adequate protectionCONS:- awkward to hold while reading- thicker than other cases- large brand labels that protrude on both sides of the cover and in the center of the case. One proudly states that the case was 'designed in Finland, produced in China'.- a little difficult to get the kindle into place and centered the first time- mine has some kind of glue flecks on the cover that are very itchy, ruining the soft touch feel. I've been trying to get rid of them but it's difficult as they seem to be embedded into the materialOVERALL: I'm comparing this Kindle case with the officialAmazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Coverwhich is currently the same price, and this Golla cover doesn't hold a candle to the official one. Amazon's case is ultra slim, light weight, automatically puts your kindle to sleep and fits snugly without annoying stretchy bands, and is a joy to read with. Although I like the texture of this case, especially if it didn't have those glue flecks all over it, it's still not user friendly in my opinion. A step above Belkin and many other off-brand covers, but if you're going to spend big bucks on a case, get the official one from Amazon. It's by far the best.
