Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft Case, Lightweight and Foldable Protective Cover - Premium Leather

I like the look of a closed book better than an open screen, and I believe it probably gives more protection if dropped. I use my Kindle every day and pick it up and put it down frequently. If I’m in public I prefer having a cover to close. The cover itself, while leather, is not particularly fine leather. I was a little disappointed in the quality. Neither do I find it attractive, as I had hope it would be. It is suede and scratches very easily. If you just want to be able to close a book for privacy, it may be worth the price. For casual readers, probably not.

I love this case. The cover does not slide around the back when open like the cloth cover does. (The magnets are stronger?) Smells great. The feels are awesome--the vibe is very much like reading a physical book with a nice cover, I find it hard to put down. Also looks great on wood furniture, while it's waiting for you to pick it up and read. Perfectly fits my Colorsoft. The leather easily and quickly begins to look imperfect. That's exactly what you want if you're into leather cases. It's the beginning of your case breaking in, and the very very beginning of the patina that will develop. I've had my cover for two days. Look at my photo. This makes me happy. This is how the case is supposed to start looking. If that bothers you, a leather Kindle case is NOT for you. All those low-star reviews complaining about looks makes it very clear to those of us who know how leather works that the case is doing what it's supposed to be doing. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a non-pleather, real leather case for your 12th-gen. Paperwhite or Colorsoft.

Such a nice quality case for my Kindle Paperwhite. The leather is soft and smells so good. The inside is also nice and soft. The magnet works great when closing the case. Not heavy at all. 10/10!

Purchased this case from Amazon Resale and it was definitely in “like new” condition. It’s beautiful and has a nice leather smell. As others have said the leather is very thin and scratches a bit but I’m good with that as it is characteristic of this type of leather. Lightweight and feels really soft to hold. I especially like the Ruby color as it has the Ruby color plastic frame instead of the black contrast frame that is on the brown leather cover. Overall, I highly recommend this case but read the reviews and keep your expectations in line with people’s observations. At $65, I think it would be reasonable to expect a more premium product with thicker leather but, at the resale price I paid for “Used-like new” condition, I think it is fabulous!

This is real leather, and it shows the occasional scuff or scratch. It's accumulated a few since I took these pictures. That's OK, though. This is also on the pricey side for a Kindle cover, so I was glad that a used version was available for a huge discount from the full $65 price. As a cover, this fits perfectly on my Kindle Colorsoft, and slips both on and off easily -- but stays in place until I want to take it off. It doesn't add a lot of bulk or weight to the device, but does make it more comfortable to hold with a little more grippiness than the bare plastic offers. And, I appreciate that opening the case wakes up the Kindle, and closing it puts it to sleep.

This case is the best way to make your Kindle YOURS. The reviewers complaining about scratches don’t understand the point. This leather case is wonderful. The deep red color is perfectly imperfect. I expect no two cases will be dyed exactly the same way. The surface is starting to wear slightly already, less than 24 hours after receiving. The way it wears will make your case appear even more unique. It smells amazing, like a cobbler’s shop. It’ll feel like your favorite book, an old friend. No cloth or fake leather case will ever come close to that. Have a Bob Ross mindset with this case. Scratches, scuffs, signs of wear, they’re happy accidents that make your Kindle yours. If none of these qualities appeal to you, get the cloth or plant-based fake leather cases. They both will stand up to water better.

This cover is *almost* perfect. The texture and the feel are great. The fact that it gets patina from use, is a feature, not a bug. It adds just the right amount of thickness without making it bulky. It fits the Kindle like a glove and folds over for use great and protects the front amazingly well in my bag. I say almost perfect because I would have preferred some sort of stand feature, but I don't miss it. It is very minimalist by design and feels premium in hand. It looks great and I get asked questions about it from co-workers when they notice it on my desk. I still give it a 5 star rating because it made very well and does exactly what it is meant to do without bells and whistles. I just use a food out stand on my desk for a phone or tablet if I wand the hands free experience. It is a bit pricey, but I got one of the like new ones for less than half and I couldn't be happier about that. It was a customer return, but I honestly don't think they used it at all. I got it for my Colosoft Kindle and if you are investing that much in an e-reader, this is a small investment in its protection and overall esthetics. I tried a few other cases and NONE of them close to the feel and look of this one.

TL;DR: * The Pro: Perfect structural fit for the Colorsoft; slim and doesn't add bulk. * The Con: "May mark" is an understatement; it scratches with a literal fingernail. * The Verdict: If you want a pristine, clean looking cover, avoid this. Review: In my hand, the case feels structurally solid and the folding stand is well engineered. However, the "Premium Leather" is incredibly soft. I’ve had this on my Kindle for one month, and while it protects the device well, the exterior tells a different story. I had my first scratch within two minutes from a fingernail. Now, I have over three dozen. Amazon’s description says it "may mark with use," but "guaranteed to mark immediately" is more accurate. If you love the rugged, heavily distressed look of an old bomber jacket, you’ll appreciate how fast this ages. But if you’re a perfectionist who wants your $50+ case to stay looking new and single-colored, this will be a massive disappointment. It’s a high price to pay for a finish that dings if you even look at it wrong.

It is incredibly expensive for what it is, but it is the best leather product I have bought.. ever. I've had countless leather protectors for kindles, phones etc before, and they all feel a bit plasticy. This is without a doubt genuine nubuck leather through and through. It smells amazing, it patinas... It feels nice and soft in the hand and on the screen, is nice and water resistant. Basically, if you can afford it, buy it!

Premium look and feel. Ideal companion for your new Kindle. I love it. Instant wake-up when opening the “book” is a nice touch!

Cet étui en coloris rouge rubis est tout simplement magnifique. Il apporte une vraie touche de caractère à la Kindle, tout en restant élégant et discret. La qualité du cuir est excellente, avec une odeur très agréable qui renforce ce côté premium. Dès qu’on prend la liseuse en main, on sent que l’objet devient spécial. Attention, c’est du cuir, donc oui ça marque facilement et la couleur va patiner avec le temps, mais c’est justement ce qui fait tout le charme de cette matière. Un détail important : le rabat se fixe magnétiquement aussi à l’arrière lorsqu’il est replié, ce qui le maintient parfaitement en place pendant la lecture, un vrai plus pour le confort d’utilisation. Et bonne surprise, la fonction ‘double tap’ à l’arrière pour tourner les pages reste fonctionnel, même avec l’étui replié (mais c’est commun à tous les étuis à priori). Je ne regrette absolument pas cet achat. Alors oui, le prix est élevé (trop même), mais si vous pouvez vous le permettre, vous ne serez pas déçu.

Gute Qualität, passt und funktioniert sehr gut, sieht toll aus.

It's my third ebook reader. I had a Sony, Boox and Hisense. The last two were very slow and the battery problems - expansion and after-sell support. This Kindle works very well. No glitches. The dictionary is very useful. It sits fine in my palm. I would buy it again.
