Review: Fits well, is nice and grippy, but attracts dust

The Marware SportGrip Silicone Skin for Kindle Paperwhite has a textured surface that is even easier to grip than the soft-touch finish on the Kindle.  It is fairly thick, which makes it easier for me to hold it, and it provides good protection all around, as well.The weight of this skin is only about 2.4 oz. or 69 gm but that is quite noticeable considering that it is a third of the weight of the Kindle itself, which weighs about 7.3 oz or 207 g.  This is not a problem for me, but should be taken under consideration.It fits quite well and leaves the charging port and power button accessible.  It doesn't quite reach the touchscreen surface so it doesn't interfere with use.  The skin does tend to lift or pull back ever-so-slightly from the screen near the middle of the sides.  This bothered me at first, but now I don't notice it.  I have taken it on and off the Kindle several times and that doesn't seem to stretch it out of shape.  Even with this silicone skin in place, the Kindle will fit in the various folio-style covers that I have that use elastic loops to secure the device.The one thing that I really don't like is that the textured silicone surface quickly attracts dust and the black surface shows it off.  The dust is very hard to remove from the grippy texture so this cover always looks dusty except immediately after cleaning it with a damp, lint-free cloth.  This may not be so noticeable on the other colors.
