I got this for my wife and she loves it.  Strangely, their product description doesn't do this item justice.First, they should (in the actual Product description) state it fits the Kindle Paperwhite.Then, they don't mention the elastic closure, similar to MoleSkin notebooks, to keep it from accidentally opening.  I debated between this one and another with a magnetic clasp closure.  I'm glad I chose this one because the magnetic clasp and closure would be very bulky and magnetics and electronics generally don't mix.She likes the look, the feel, the holding of it, the fact the covers flips back easily and a slim inside pocket for holding things (emergency cash, a business card, etc) and finally the elastic closure that wraps around the cover to keep it closed.The Kindle PaperWhite stays slim and fits into her purse and keeps it protected.Happy wife, happy life, so 5 stars from me! ;-) 

Question: How resistant is the cover?
Answer: they do mention the closure ,
