This is an extremely lightweight case.  It's a pretty dark cobalt and it's simple to install your paperwhite into it.  FYI it's probably best if you put the larger, bottom part of your kindle into the case first and then gently pull the flexible plastic over first one top part of your device and then the other so you don't pull the plastic out of shape.  I was worried that the closed part that completely covers the on/off switch would interfere with turning the kindle on and off and this fear was groundless.  There's a raised part over the switch that helps you locate it which makes it easily accessible.  The section at the bottom where you plug your device in to recharge it is exposed with an opening to make that easy.I love that it doesn't have a flap that can cause the case to close while you're trying to read or that you have to hold open.  The rim of the case is almost exactly flush with the kindle.  Because of this I doubt it would fit any other kindle type device.  It's uniquely sized to the paperwhite.  The back is textured so its nonslip no matter what surface you set it on.  The plastic is easy to clean and doesn't scratch or show wear easily.  The only thing I'd advise is to have a plastic protector over the reading part of your kindle so that if you tote it in a purse or back pack the screen doesn't get scratched.  Overall a nice cover.  It feels almost weightless in your hand.
