Well, there's the original Amazon covers incl. LED, which are undoubtedly determined notch. That is probably a 100% satisfaction guarantee purchase. But now seriously: A shell that almost costs as much as the device that is supposed to protect it? Well ... I felt an inner resistance.
So off to Billigheimer department. There are a few euros with Dropship from China several cases, but all in my opinion have a problem: you do not phone jack in the Kindle, but envelop it as best we can with imitation leather or rubber bands. What is it, I see every day next to me on the train: see the things in a very short time so soggy schlapprig out, as if they were swollen in water.
Then there is this kind of cases here, a bit more expensive but with a different attachment tactics: The Kindle is clipped in a hard plastic frame. They are relatively thin and look quite OK.
The Product
=========
The shell is made of artificial leather, how could it be otherwise in the price. The Kindle is firmly seated in the plastic frame, the lateral leaves buttons are recessed and open spacing. The magnetic lock is functioning properly.
At closer inspection, however, it is also clear that there is no original Amazon shell: She's stuck on wrong folded edge. The now restricts the Funktionaltität certainly not one, I will not return the envelope, you can see it from a normal viewing distance not - anyway: For 11 + 2 Euro you can already ask for a little more than in the 3-5 Euro "China Direct "Division.
Therefore, a point deduction.
Otherwise, the case is easy and comfortable to hold good - and that's just the most important.
The Delivery
==========
In the already mentioned "China direct" orders delivery times of 1-2 months (!!!) are common, the more I was thrilled when after 2 days the shell was already with me. The delivery was probably abandoned in the UK.
There are still a small microfiber cloth and a fairly stable protective film here, which I have not yet tested. That's certainly a nice little bonus, although I prefer but it would have taken 2 Euro cheaper without.
All in all: The cover is practical, light, looks good and fulfills exactly their purpose, price / performance are just about ok for the oblique bonding. Without the adhesion fault I would give the shell a recommendation.
