Review: Pretty pink, good grip, zips open so you pull Kindle out to use

I like this cover just fine for my purse - I find that it fits my old, first generation Kindle Fire fine and has just the right amount of padding. It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the size of the Kindle so it slips right into my purse.The color I got was true to what I see - I got the Paparazzi pink color.  It's pink with a white, rubbery-like graphic design that helps with gripping the case.My one complaint was I wish the zipper fit the other way so I could leave it in the case, unzip it, and charge it. Unfortunately the case fits with it on it's size and the plug in is on the bottom so that doesn't work. It would have helped if the zipper was changed to go the other way for us lazy folks that like to grab them and go.The case feels nice and you can wash it. It does have a good grip to it.  I prefer a cover that just flips open since I read a lot.  I don't always like having to pull my kindle in and out of this case.  A big plus is that it can be washed though- it has a removable pad in it, and then I've put the outer shell in the washer and let it air dry when it got dirty - it was as good as new.I've had it for 2-3 years now.  I don't use it that much anymore, but I keep it for when I travel. It is a bit more protective than my flip open covers.
