This case has a lovely design that looks better and less cartoonish than pictured.The case itself is a heavier one, not a slim case. It's lightly padded with rigid covers that extend a little past the edges of a Kindle. It's well-made with good attention to details and nice stitching. The elastic strap fits into a groovy when it's closed, and can be slipped behind to hold the cover to the back when it's opened. The inside, like most book style cases, is a nice soft fabric. The hand strap is less usable. It won't work with larger hands, Not an issue for me, but my husband can't use it all. It will hold either a standard Kindle (the inexpensive model) or a Paperwhite with a 4 point elastic corner system. While that's fairly standard, these may seem like they are placed too close to the center of the case to work. They do work, and fairly easily.This is the case I'd recommend for my husband, and I use one of these style cases on my own Kindle (Paperwhite). I tried this one out on my daughter's basic Kindle and it worked just as well. The gender neutral design is great, my reason for choosing a different Golla case was based entirely on the color of the case. It's just easier for me to see a bright red case when my glasses are off!
