This is an excellent case. Bought for a new Paperwhite after my original keyboard version died. 9 years that one lasted! I put longevity down to it having a good, robust, case from day one.
This case was bought with that requirement in mind.
1. Snug, secure, fit. The clips suggest protection if dropped. Have not tried this out. Looks too to protect from mild crush.. 2. Cover works as advertised, causing the Kindle to sleep/ wake on close and open. 3. Full access to power inlet and switch. 4. Inbuilt kickstand and hand grip are excellent. The latter makes it easy to hold. 5. Cover remains "locked" open when in use. 6. The Kindle remains lightweight, even with the cover on.
