so far the Kindle were my cases too expensive and mostly too boring. then this was offered here: the unusual pattern is exactly to my taste. I am also quite right that the shell of is artificial leather, because I do not even like real leather fur. on the shelf, I can not say much because I only have about 1 week; but my little kitten has repeatedly rumgeknabbert it and it has nothing of the envelope identified. The fit is well matched to the Kindle and the device sits at me straight in the envelope, but it can also be removed with little effort.
