I don't really love having a case on my Kindle's but with 2 kids who also use them it's a must to at least have something to offer some protection. I choose this one and also a black textured Marware Vibe case to try out. I really liked the color on this one but I wasn't sure if it would feel cheap and if the clasp would bother me. I assumed I'd end up liking the case from Marware better. I was wrong!I've seen other comments that people felt the color wasn't as shown, granted monitors can vary but I'd say the image I see on mine is pretty darn spot on... it's a bright vibrant turquoise and surprisingly doesn't look or feel cheap, it's a nice soft smooth leather feel, the stitching is strong and well done. Mine stays open just fine and doesn't fall over even with using the touch screen. That little magnet clasp works well for keeping it closed and yet it does get in the when it's opened as I assumed, but it just takes a second to tuck it behind the kindle so it's not a deal breaker. The reason I like this one so much better then the Malware is that besides the Malware looking and feeling cheap, this one is constructed so that there is a sewn line where the case naturally bends when stood up, so it keeps it's shape and looks/feels fine once it's closed back up, the Malware in comparison has no seam there so it has a strange crease that you can see and feel even when it is closed.All in all this is a nice case and a great color if you like turquoise.
