Review: almost perfect

This is my first case for my new Paperwhite and it is nearly perfect. The Paperwhite is held in by elastic straps at the corners. These straps are strong and snug enough to hold the Kindle with no wiggling, and have a grippy texture which also prohibits slipping. The outside of the case is the nicest phony leather I have ever seen. It doesn't stink or feel slimy or feel like plastic. The inside material feels soft and wonderful. The whole thing is held shut by an elastic which you flip around to the front when you want to close up your Paperwhite. You can use this same strap to hold the case open, but it folds open so nice and flat I never use it that way. You can access the power/sleep button and the charging port easily without removing the case.The only thing I would add is an elastic band on the left side of the case (when open) to put my left hand through while I'm reading so I wouldn't have to grip the Kindle. Otherwise this case is perfect.
