Review: Scratchy cardboard

Moshi Cirrus Standing Cover for Paperwhite / B00ECERJTAI have one of the Amazon leather covers for my Paperwhite, but was interested in trying this one because of the ability to stand the Kindle up for reading. I couldn't be more disappointed in this cover! It looks and feels like cardboard with some kind of fabric flocking on it -- very cheap look and feel. The flocking holds cat hair and dust, and the cardboard edges are sharp and unpleasant to hold -- I was seriously worried I would get a nasty papercut while handling this cover. (Not something I want to be worried about when I'm trying to read!)The cover will let your Kindle stand, if that's what you're wanting, but I don't like the aesthetic at all, and if you ever want to hold your Kindle to read, you'll have to deal with the hard cardboard edges digging into your hands, which I found to be VERY uncomfortable for even short amounts of use. I couldn't go back to my leatherette cover fast enough, and will just use a tablet stand to prop up my Kindle.NOTE: This review is based on a free Advance Review Copy of this product provided through Amazon Vine.~ Ana Mardoll
