Review: It does hold it at a nice angle for reading I suppose... better alternatives though for less

The good, bad, and ugly.I originally purchased an inexpensive case for my daughters Paperwhite the CreddealMagnetic Leather Smart Case Cover standar for New Amazon Kindle Paperwhite with Auto Sleep Wake Function + Stylus Pen + Screen Protectorand was very pleasantly surprised with it, both in how it looks and feels and protects her Kindle, I highly recommend it. I only decided to try this one because she likes to read laying down, especially on her stomach and didn't like having to hold the Kindle. This cover works perfectly for this situation. The cover holds the Kindle securely at the right angle, and swiping pages doesn't knock it over or shift it at all. I suppose that would be your good. It also looks nice color wise, and does securely snap the Paperwhite in, it also has an opening for charging.The ugly & bad... it's ugly, color wise it's nice but texture wise and feel it's awful. I know they say no cardboard was used but it sure feels like it was made form cardboard, it has a horrible weird texture that I'm really worried is going to get gross and nasty just from being held, and I'm really worried that if it gets wet it'll simply peel and fall apart (not going to test that on purpose). While it does work great for propping the Paperwhite up at a nice angle for tabletop use, or if you're laying on your stomach it's not comfortable to leave on if you want to hold the Paperwhite instead, good news is that it snaps off pretty easily. I feel like it offers adequate protection, but not as much as my vastly less expensive case does.Honestly it's not horrible if you know the limits and still think it sounds good, but in that case pick yourself up the inexpensive case I linked to and my #1 favorite accessory for all my Kindles, the Anker portable stand which frankly just rocks. You could leave your standard case on your kindle and get just the right angle using this case and still come out ahead budget wise.Anker Multi-Angle Portable Stand for Tablets, E-readers and Smartphones, Durable Aluminum Body, Compatible for Apple iPads iPad Air, iPad Mini / New iPad Mini, iPhone 5S 5C 5 4S 4; Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Tab 3, Note 8.0 10.1, S5, S4, S3, S2; Google Nexus...
