This cover is simply beautiful in person - even more so then the picture they show.  The artwork extends all the way around the back of the cover - no short changing the consumer here.  Inside, on the left corner, is the complete quote from Luke 2:10 "And the Angel said unto them....." which is a lovely and unexpected surpriset.  It is vinyl but very comfortable in my hands.Your paperwhite will be fitted into two leather straps across the bottom and two leather/rubberbands across the top.  You will have total access to all ports and it will hold your device just fine (unless you plan on using your Kindle as a shotput).Here's the negative.  There is no way to keep the cover closed.  None.  I've had to resort to a rubber band which is not the most attractive or sensible way to protect the cover from flapping open.  It's as though iLuv spent so much money on attaining the merchandising rights to the photo, that they felt it might take away from it's beauty by having a large black band over the front.  I'm sure there had to be other alternatives they could've considered, but clearly rejected.Bottomline for me is I plan on useing it all year long because it is so beautiful, however I sure wish someone had thought this through and added the extra measure of security.
