Swees Ultra Slim Leather Case/Cover for New Amazon Kindle Paperwhite/Kindle Paperwhite 3G with Elastic Hand Strap, Magnetic Auto Sleep Wake Function, Includes Screen Protector - Black

This is one of the nicer cases for the kindle in the under 15$ price range. The leather looks and feels great. The magnetic clip was a little worrying, I always get nervous whenever magnets are near my electronics, but it seems to be a fear of a bygone era. It has no negative effect on the kindle whatsoever. It does make a satisfying clicking noise, however, when I close my kindle. I really like that clicking noise.This is slimmer than the original Amazon Paperwhite case, which was gifted to me, which I like because one of the selling points of the Paperwhite is how small it is. My favorite part is the hand strap, which is one of the primary reasons, I purchased this case. I have a handstrap on my tablet case and I use it regularly when I make use of my tablet, it is equally useful on this paperwhite. I feel safe using my kindle in the bath or while on the train. The paperwhite feels secure on my hand.It's not perfect though, the strap would feel better if it was place more towards the center of the cover, that way people with small hands could use it better with one hand. The cover also feels somewhat tight when closing over the kindle. I keep feeling the need to stretch the cover a little to sit flush with the kindle face. When I do this, however, the sleep/wake function stops working.Overall, great case, definitely worth the 11$. It's the perfect case for the price.

This is a well-built case, and the magnetic clasp works well to wake up the Kindle.The elastic hand strap is actually not as useful as you might think - when you open the case and flip the cover around to the back of the Kindle, there is nothing to secure the front flap to the back. So whether or not you are using the hand strap, you still have to support the device with both your thumb and 4 fingers. It's marginally useful if you spend a lot of time reading while laying down with the kindle directly above your head.If this case had a magnet on the back of the case as well as the front, it would be a 5-star item.

After ten months of use, my main complaint with this Paperwhite cover, could be solved if the plastic side of the cover had the same cut-out for the charge port and off/on button on the top, as it has on the bottom. This would enable it to accept the Paperwhite 'upside down', which would make for an easy left-hand hold with the hand strap. This would also place the strap in a position easiest to use for those with small hands.The second complaint is unless one has a gargantuan hand, or holds the cover with two hands, while reading lying on one's back, the heavier Kindle side can easily fall forward towards your face. A snap or a magnet closure connecting the two sections would prevent that. Also, the flexible spine allows the heavier Kindle side to skew, causing one to twist their wrist to keep the print straight - not very ergonomic for long reading sessions.Another problem - the magnet has come out of its slot, preventing proper closure of the cover, which drains the battery when the Kindle turns on by itself, intermittently. This doesn't happen with the cover left open, but then that negates the reason for a protective cover when carried in a purse or backpack.I have a Marware easel-style cover for the old Kindle Keyboard. The cover flips over the top and is held to the second section at the bottom with a well-made elastic band, with a handstrap on the back for easy one-handed use with either hand. One can also stand it up like an easel, while following recipes. I have yet to find a similar style for the Paperwhite. I've threatened to remove the leather side of the Swees cover and just slide the plastic side with the Paperwhite into the Marware cover - it fits!Other than the above points, the overall quality of the cover holds up really well. The stitching is still tight and unfrayed with daily handling over the past ten months, and the leather, front and back, is unscratched after being carried around in a purse.

This is my 1st review and I am doing it because this case far exceeded my expectations.My kindle paper white fits perfectly in the case and everything works as described( they even add in a protective screen and dust cloth for the screen)1 review says it does not go to sleep when case is closed YOU HAVE TO CLOSE IT UNTIL YOU HEAR A CLICK Another review said it was bulky- Not at all it fits perfect and I am extremely satisfied. Also the shipping was fast received a day before expected delivery dateThank you!!!!!

Rather unfortunate purchase; for some reason this cover does something to the Kindle and it often shuts off on it's own! Kindle works find when this cover is removed. I've since bought a cover that does not have a magnetic closure and it works MUCH better.UPDATE: I've updated my review from 1 star to 4 for the customer service since they were great! The case I got was likely defective since it was causing issues, but Swees contacted me and refunded my money. Thanks, Swees!

I love the idea with the strap for one handed holding of the kindle, and in that sense, this product is great. I just wish that Amazon would offer it in their official cover!The quality is nothing really to write home about. In fact, I would rate the quality at a three and the idea at a five, hence the four star review.I didn't even bother with the screen protector. I could just tell that it would be cheesy, so I bought an ArmorSuit screen protector for it.

I have to say that I really like this case! Its a bit different than what I thought I was getting, but it's actually better. It's a hard plastic shell with an imitation leather covering. It's thin, it's light & most importantly it protects my kindle well! It's slim, doesn't add any real bulk & fit's easily into my back pocket. Being fairly clumsy sometimes the strap on the back is a great thing. I'd buy it again & I'd give it as a gift.

Protege legal o Kindle, mas poderia ser mais fina.Foi a única que encontrei com a tira para colocar a mão, achei que seria interessante mas acaba que é super apertada e não tão confortável.

Gostei muito do produto, mas penso que a "dobradiça" (ligação entre a capa e a parte de trás) poderia ser mais rígida. Talvez devesse ter algum tipo de "trava", quem sabe um ímã na posição contrária (atrás), de modo que ao segurar pela alça a frente ficasse alinhada com a parte posterior e presa nela. Como a "dobradiça" é "mole", temos que fazer um esforço adicional para segurar o Kindle por baixo. Como passo muito tempo lendo, esse esforço acaba sendo um pouco incômodo. É uma crítica construtiva, não uma reclamação, ok. Gostei muito do produto.

Eu gostei muito da capa, junto com ela veio uma caneta e uma película. Eu sempre achei que película fosse dispensável mas, muito pelo contrário, com ela a função touch fica mais fácil. A capa é linda mas eu achei o elástico de prender a mão muito apertado, é difícil de colocar a mão e aperta um pouco.

Bem, realmente ela tem seu charme e beleza, porém o material é muito fraco. anterior eu sempre deixava cair quando abria a porta do carro, já essa, na primeira ela já quebrou a ponta da capa. Esperava mais, não gostei é muito vulnerável.

A capa chegou no prazo e isso já indica que o fornecedor tem uma ótima gerência e qualidade. Veio muito bem embalado e a capa aparentemente é linda. Não utilizei muito mas já testei e achei confortável para a mao e até mesmo para segurar normal sem utilizar o elástico. Recomendo!
