Review: Wrong case sent, but I don't really care...

Under the Amazon Vines program, I had requested this case for the Kindle Paperwhite, and instead one arrived for the Kindle Fire. Before asking for an exchange, I figured I would check out the quality of the case to see if I wanted to go through the hassle. Turns out I don't. The primary problem is that the case is nearly impossible to open. The instructions are unclear, and when I went to the website address given on the instructions for an installation demonstration video, there was none. The demonstration video on the Amazon item page is useless. The first step is supposedly removing the outer bumper by "pealing" back one of the corners. It seemed to be impossible without crushing the case or cracking the clear cover, so I never got beyond that. I'm very content with the official Kindle Paperwhite case I have now, since I don't plan on going swimming with my Kindle. Another problem I can see with the case is that the clear covering is very shiny, which would cause terrible reflections. That added to the many other comments about the difficulty of installing the device in the case (not to mention removing it) gives me no desire to try this brand again with an actual Paperwhite version.
