Review: Good for risky reads

This case arrived well packaged with everything intact. The only issue there was upon opening was a small chip in the the bottom corner, but it was just a coating to reduce glare, so it didn't effect the quality of the case much. The case itself is sturdy, with a snap-lock design to hold the kindle in. I submerged it underwater for several minutes, retrieved it later and it still functioned normally. However, as with all touchscreen devices it does not register finger movements underwater or with a lot of water on top, so it's best if you prefer to read by the bath or pool but don't want to risk water damage if you should drop it or get it wet. The case itself is a bit hard to take off and you have to force-pry it open with your fingers, but this doesn't matter if you plan to always have it on. All in all the case does what it says it does, feels comfortable in the hand, and doesn't hinder the reading quality at all.
