Marware Vassen Kindle Cover, Purple [will only fit Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle (5th Generation), Kindle Touch (4th Generation) and Kindle (7th Generation)]

I would highly recommend this sturdy case to anyone who wants a plain and durable solution to protect their investment.Bought two of these now. Had really good experiences with the first one for my own PW so had no hesitation in buying another when I bought a PW as gift for my wife. I'll admit that at first, looking at the photo of the elastic bands holding the Kindle in place, I was a little wary. However, after a year's worth of use I have found they really are tough and hold the Kindle securely with no fraying or loss of resilience. In my experience they do not affect aesthetics. The vinyl case itself is fairly thick and solid so it does add a little weight and size to the unit and these may be major drawbacks for some. Personally I prefer this to know my Kindle is safe should it get a little knocked about in transit. The on/off button too becomes set back about 5mm from the case edge so if you have bigger fingers you might find that a little awkward. However the benefits to me are two-fold: it protects the edges of your Kindle unit; and prevents it getting accidentally switched on, as often happens with magnetic cases(no lock on Kindle as on a mobile phone). I also like that the case is sturdy enough that you can bend the front right round without damaging the spine allowing you to read your Kindle one-handed as was intended by its design (assuming the extra weight the case adds is not a factor for you).Note that unlike the 'official' Amazon case, this is not a magnetic case that will turn the Kindle on/off when you open and close the cover. Instead there is a thick band you pull across and it would take some strength to open the case with that band in place. Again, I prefer this. While magnetic cases have their benefits, the drawbacks too are equally well documented. The cons start to add up if you carry your Kindle around a lot. I admit I am unsure of the specific technology Kindle employs, but personally I don't like to get magnets near anything LCD!

I like this very much. It fits my Kindle perfectly and protects it. It is easy to fit the Kindle into it. The strap holds it closed when it is in my bag and the front folds back easily so that I can hold it in one hand. Loved the colour too!

This seems to be a quality product and certainly will provide good protection to the Kindle. The elastic on each of the four corners seems a bit short, so although it holds the Kindle Paperwhite very tightly, it would be difficult to remove the reader without a struggle. Since I like to read without the cover, when I am at home I just pop the Kindle inside and use the elastic which holds the covers together to secure it - for carrying outside the house I might also use two of the corner elastic restraints as well. Overall, a quality product, good value for money and looks as smart in real life as it does on the screen.

Fantastic product!! I always stressed I wouldn't buy a Kindle or tablet as have been in love with books all of my life. When I started to develop some problems with my eyesight I couldn't read in any artificial light nor on any cloudy day. I ordered this device and have been able to read constantly in all lighting !! You can adjust brightness and font size and it's just wonderful. It hold an 8week charge and I am so happy that I can take it anywhere. I will always love my books but in this case have been amazed that I can love them just as much on the Kindle. I would recommend this device to anyone. Simple to use and can be a lifeline to anyone who has issues with their eyesight or those who font !!

The cover is a nice colour and has a good grip system for the Kindle, and a nice feel to it. Initially I was considering getting a leather one, but decided for this one due to it's price and colour options, and I'm quite happy with the choice I made. There's no damage or sign of wear after the one year I've had it - though I have to admit I'm not using the device as frequently as others might. All in all, very good quality for the price, recommended.

Bought as a protection for my Kindle screen when I went on holiday. Fits well, is nice and tough, looks fine.

I needed something to protect my kindle. This does the job, the elastic fits securely and the cover projects so if I drop it only the cover will get bashed, not the kindle. Does exactly what I wanted at a good price and it's a nice colour.

Does what it says - a cover which holds your Kindle in place with four simple bits of elastic and has a bigger piece to hold the front cover closed.Feels nice, quality seems fine so far, looks good and the colour representation is pretty accurate (I went for the green).This model doesn't have the magnet of the more expensive models to automatically put your Kindle to sleep when you close it but if you're capable of pushing a button to do this (or just let it time out and go to sleep on it's own) and all you want is something to stop your device getting broken, then this will do the job very nicely.
