Won't turn your kindle into a monster
You know, I was a little hesitant to buy this case at first. One of the reasons I love the kindle e-readers so much is because of how thin and light they are, and this case looked way too bulky to me. But then I had to be reasonable, the reason I was buying a new case in the first place was because my old e-reader took an unfortunate spill off the counter after 5 years together and the screen was a lost cause, so I needed protection for my new paperwhite.
This case is FANTASTIC. It is SLIGHTLY bulky, but only enough to protect your kindle from all dangerous encounters it might have, I have no doubt that my paperwhite is going to be around for a while in this thing. It's also made very well, very very good quality, probably as good as those other $50.00-60.00 cases you see on amazon of "genuine leather."
My kindle fits very snuggly inside, is easy to use once in the case, puts my kindle to sleep and wakes it up which is fantastic because I hate fumbling for that little power button, and the stand's 3 settings are sturdy enough to withstand a mega-sneeze while sitting on your belly. I am exceptionally impressed, and I highly recommend this case. It's not going to turn your kindle into a monster, in fact you'll be so pleased with the case you won't even mind the thickness of it, I didn't notice it after an hour of it out of the box, but it might turn you into a reading machine, because your'e going to be able to bring your e-reader with you everywhere now without worry of it being damaged.
Now you might be thinking as I was, do I really need the stand? with my old e-reader I just held it, or propped it up against something nearby. Bute believe me when I tell you, you don't know what your missing out on with hands-free reading. I never read with it in my palm anymore, but if you want to, you can without it being super awkward. I ready during breakfast, during work, ruing lunch break, during class, its fantastic. your arms don't get tired anymore from laying in bed holding it up, just set it on your stomach and relax your arms behind your head, hours of hands-free pleasure. The stand is worth it, so worth it.
This is one of my favorite purchases so far from amazon. I couldn't be more pleased with this item.
