All-new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition Case, Lightweight and Water-Safe, Foldable Protective Cover – Premium Leather

This case looks, smells and feels beautiful. I have had a similar walnut colour case for my oasis for the last 5 years and it has weathered beautifully. Scratches, and oils over time only improve the look and feel. The leather really is premium but do not buy if marks and patina will bother you as this kind of leather purposely marks very easily.

Lovely soft leather cover which developed a beautiful natural patina over time. Absolutely love this cover. Previous versions have felt plastic, whereas this one is soft and natural to the touch. Price is very steep and feels unjustified when first taken out of the box. However once it’s fitted to Kindle it feels transformative. I don’t know how else to explain it. It’s probably not worth the price, but I’m glad I bought it.

The only thing that I liked about this product was the description; premium leather.I was disappointed the moment I opened the packaging. The term 'Premium Leather' is visualised as a nice thick, hard-wearing material that should last for years and age gracefully. The reality is that the leather, which is layered over a hard board, is unbelievably thin; less than 1 mm I would think. Secondly, I hadn't owned the case more than a few minutes before I noticed scratches on the surface of the leather. These, I soon realised had been caused when I accidentally passed my fingernail over the surface; not the sharp edge of my fingernail, the back of it. These scratches were not areas where nap of the leather had been simply biased differently to the rest. The scratches could not be buffed out by rubbing with the finger tip.This product would be poor a £6. It's appalling at nearly 10 times that price.

I wanted a nice premium case for my Kindle, initially ordered the fake leather in Jade as my partner has the fabric Jade and didn’t want the same.The fake leader feels like plastic and has sharp edges.This leader version is so premium, the leader is smooth and feels high end leader, already can imagine with time developing patina will look even more amazing.From other reviews that complain about scratches, guys it’s leader… if you don’t want that then go fake leader.100000% recommend, could be slightly less expensive but I guess quality has its price

This is a lovely case which it should be at the premium price of nearly £60. You can smell the leather and it has a nice soft feel to it. I have knocked it down a stars because of the small v shaped scratch mark straight out the box and how easily marked it gets. I know it will get them over time and will get the patina as time goes on but for the price I paid, I would have liked it to have no marks or scratches on arrival. I would have sent it back but brought it to protect my new kindle colour soft and I am assuming the replacement will probably also have the same issues. I think it’s a nice case but the price is a little high for what you get and only time will tell if it will hold up or look a mess is a few months time.The previous leather kindle case seemed more hard wearing and was £20 cheaper than this version. Time will tell if I will find it better than that one or not.After now using it for a few days I can say that even being very careful there is a lot more marks on it but the older ones seem to fade the more you use the case. I still think it’s a very nice case but would be happier with it if it was priced £40-£50

Love the leather quality and while some say it marks easily that adds personality and age to the look and colour and really makes it personalised!Premium and the price suggests this and very easy to fit and use including the auto wake feature of the case just makes opening the kindle even easier!

The case is a very good fit and will provide good protection. But the leather is too soft, poorly finished and seems to get scratched rapidly. Rather than developing a nice patina over time, it begins to look scruffy within hours of use. If you like a beat-up raw-ish leather look (and some do) this is for you. But if you like the kind of leather finish that ages gracefully, I don’t think you will like this.

Actually a very nice cover, leather feels decent quality. But. It's an unsealed, suede like texture which scratches and marks very easily, just from everyday use and being carried in a bag. Luckily, using a leather wipe removes these easily, as well as caring for the leather (see before & after pics). I do find myself having to do this every couple of days. It's also really rather too expensive for what it is.
