I graduated from a kindle touch to a kindle paperwhite, and I LOVE it! Got this case as a christmas gift, and I got the purple colored one. It is still purple, but NOT the shade that is shown, it looks to be a very royal bright purple in the picture, but in actuality it is a dark plum color. I am still pleased with it because I like all purples, but would would have liked it to be the brighter purple. This does add a little weight to the kindle, but again, that doesn't bother me, I don't want it so lightweight that I cant keep hold of it. The opening flap is able to be folded behind somewhat comfortably, similiar to my old kindle touch case. I can see why other reviewers feel it is not real leather as it is a very flat rough material, but I think it will hold up better than what you would consider real leather to look like. All in all, a nice little case. I like that it wakes my kindle up when it opens (big deal if you have to swipe to get it fully awake due to ads) People complaining of that just should have bought the ad free version.
