Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Water-Safe Fabric Cover (10th Generation - 2018 Release), Yellow

This cover for the new Paperwhite Kindle fits like a glove. It's easy to put on and moderately easy to remove if you feel like reading your Kindle without the case. The blue colour is a lovely jewel tone - it looks just like it does on the picture. It's the same as the fabric for the Fire HD cases so if you've already got one of those, you will know what you are getting. The flap which covers the screen when not in use is a very soft material which provides good protection. It also feels nice if you read with the cover folded right back (magnets will keep it out of the way when you do this). The sleep/wake function works well with this case and hidden magnets help to keep it closed. The top and bottom edges of the Kindle are exposed in this case - something to be aware of but nothing to worry about. And it means you can easily access the charging port even with the cover closed. The Amazon designed accessories are always fairly expensive but in my experience, they are worth the price. They fit beautifully and last well. Highly recommended!

Excellent kindle case, looks very good and has a good feel to it. It fits my kindle perfectly and performs just like. A regular book, in that it the kindle ‘opens’ and ‘closes’ smoothly with the opening and closing of the case front.The front folds around the back without any wear to the spine and the magnetic holds it around the back while reading. The case is also light so it doesn’t feel heavy while reading.The front also provides excellent protection to the kindle screen so a screen protector isn’t needed.Previously I have used skins to protect my earlier kindles but with my new kindle I decided to try this case and was very impressed with it. I would definitely recommend it.

I had a previous Kindle (7th Generation) and cover, both of which were heavier than my new Kindle (10th Generation) and this new cover. It is an excellent cover - It is light with a textured finish, but sturdy and rigid. It holds the Kindle safely and it is easy to put the Kindle into it. The magnetic attachment keeps it closed securely and a soft interior protects the screen. When it is closed, the Kindle switches off. When it is opened the Kindle starts automatically and the cover attaches securely to the back. This makes it easy to read when holding the Kindle with one hand. It is not waterproof, but the occasional splash of water is easily wiped off. I particularly like the dark blue colour, but it is a pity there aren't more colours to choose from.

I would actually prefer a good quality leather cover but none seem available. The one leather option from Amazon is plasticised/adulterated so that it apparently looks, feels and ages just like plastic. The other is brown (suede?) which apparently deteriorates super quick (I don't mind the distressed look but it should take years to develop not weeks). For comparison: my iPhone 7 leather case, now 4 years old, is black and super high-quality top grain leather with no plastic layer applied (shame on you Amazon), it still looks really good. I wanted something similar for my Kindle! But alas, if I cannot have real leather, then I would rather have real cloth (instead of 'fake' or poor-quality leather). This case is amazing quality for what it is and the fact that it wakes up/puts to sleep the Kindle is a massive bonus. I don't like strong magnets (not good for compasses or sensitive mechanical devices like wristwatches; and prone to collecting magnetic dust) but no other closures were unfortunately available. Some reviews mentioned the magnets "coming through" the cloth so time will tell how reliable this case will be, but first impressions are very good.

While I have never purchased an official case with previous generations of the kindle I felt as I got such a great deal on my latest one that I would spend the extra money.Was it worth it?Well it has mostly positives from me, the kindle fits in easily and perfectly and the case has a nice feel to it when you are reading which is very important. The magnets although can be seen if held up to the light will close and keep closed when shut and will automatically turn on when opened. (Not sure if it's the new kindle but you will need to swipe up once it's awake which I never had to do on my previous generation)Any Negatives?Well some minor ones, while the case fits well the power switch barely sticks out past the end of the case, this could potentially be an issue if dropped. The magnets although close and hold the case are weak compared to other cases. It will hold but it's super easy to flip open. I would have liked more of a choice in colours although I am happy with the yellow.PositivesThe magnets will hold should you want to have the flap at the back, it actually holds more stronger than when closed. The water resistance is a nice feature and water just rolls off the material. I love the feel of the plastic sides; they are smooth and comfortable. The Amazon logo looks good at the bottom right and it's slightly Embossed to the touch and is also Engraved on the reverse which is a lovely feature.I am overall pleased with my purchase; the comfort alone makes this worthwhile and I am pleased I spent the extra money.
