I have this shell ordered as protective case for my Kindle and am so far (after a few days) happy with it. It does what it should do, ie provide adequate protection in a backpack / pocket for my Kindle (but not waterproof). The processing is, as I can tell, good, but the shell smells very chemically and blue in the picture is my opinion brighter than it is in reality. Since it is rather a real dark blue. Conclusion, great value for money and I would recommend it.
