I'm reading a lot of negative reviews on here, and after receiving this today, I'm confused by them. People are saying that it's thin and flimsy. On the contrary, it's thin and sturdy, with a very premium feel. The front cover is about an eighth inch thick and looks and feels like thin fabric or leather stretched over a stiff card of some sort (there is very little bend to the cover and I'm confident it will provide excellent protection for the screen). In reality I'm pretty sure the entire case is a solid piece of plastic with different finishes in different areas, and flexible on the binding (which is about a sixteenth inch thick). The actual case is also about a sixteenth inch thick and fits snugly (it's actually pretty hard to put on). The entire outer covering has a soft touch finish that almost feels velvety, but with a lot of grip, except the edges which have a smooth finish. Curiously, the inside of the front cover has a much smoother finish that actually does feel like velvet, which means when you're holding the device with the cover folded around the back (aka the way you hold it to read), the back surface is quite slick. This is one reason I'm not giving this cover a five star review. The other reason is that the front cover doesn't hold shut at all; I'd like it to have at least a slight magnetic grip. That said, the smart cover feature works great and is very convenient.
Overall, I'm really happy with this cover. I think the price is perhaps a little higher than it should be, but that's what you get with an OEM.
I just opened this beautiful citron cover which came packaged with my new NO GLARE KINDLE (2014). I popped in the KINDLE. It is a perfect fit. It does not hang over the case like some reviewers said. It pops/snaps in and is perfectly protected by a hard cover on ALL sides. The fold over cover lies flat and is beautiful. I do wish there was a snap or magnetic closure like some have mentioned, buy am not taking away a star for this. I'll just make sure not to throw it in my bag like I did my old NOOK SIMPLE with the snap case. I'll take a little more care. I like the fold back cover. I have to admit that having that old snap cover was a bit of a hassle if you wanted to fold the cover back for one handed reading. The price was a little steep but worth it since I did not get the protection plan. I wanted the case specifically made for this model KINDLE. The last thing I want is for it to slip out. I may send for the screen cover as well, but don't feel like I absolutely need it.
By the way, when ordering the KINDLE NO GLARE, checkout only offers the black cover for some reason. After checking through the site several times thoruoughly I came to the conclusion that this cover is the exact same cover only it is offered in the beautiful colors. The color makes all of the difference.
I will try to upload a picture later to show how it snaps in.
First let me say, I really love the color. I got the neon yellow Citrine color, and it's exactly what I'd hoped for. Then let me say, this cover fits snugly onto my 7th generation Kindle device. Perfect fit, and it wakes the Kindle when you open the cover. I love that. Now I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in the feel of this cover in relation to the price. I am actually afraid that the cover is going to get bent or the edges are going to start to curl if I hold it in my hand too long in the folded-back position. It feels really cheap, nowhere near what the price tag would indicate. It just seems like a nicely colored piece of thin cardboard. When I opened the package I thought, "Seriously? This is it?". I'm hoping that it holds up, and doesn't mess up like I mentioned above. For the price I gave for it, maybe it won't. Fingers crossed.
ahhh, this case is so cute and light. i always get compliments on the bright, pink color! the material is soft, at first i was afraid that it would get dirty very quickly, but it gets tossed from purse to purse and in and out of luggage (i'm a flight attendant) and it's holding up very well! also, surprise feature (for me, anyway...i didn't really read the product description, i just saw the color, price, and that it wasn't hinged or strapped and just bought it LOL): opening and closing the cover actually turns the kindle on and off and prompts you to swipe to start reading so you don't have to keep pushing the little button on the bottom!! felt like christmas in july! don't judge me...it's the little things lol
I choose this cover for my new Kindle for it's size. My kindle has to fit in all my bags and is even a deciding factor when I purchase a new bag. I love the cover. It seems to be mostly impact resistant and very professional in appearance.
The only negative would be the lack of a way to keep the cover from moving when flipped open and back. When I do it the reader sits at an angle when I want it to sit straight on my lap & etc. I do think it is a success in the protection it provides and its sleek exterior slides into my bags easily. I would buy it again.

I like the cover. I've had it for over a year now, and it's still going strong. I've seen a lot of complaints, which I find a bit confusing because I think it's wonderful. It protects from scratches and falls and is quite sturdy. Also, it holds the kindle very snugly, and I've never had to worry about my kindle falling out. The only annoying thing is that there is no clasp to keep it closed, which means it can slide open whenever. Still, I really like the case.
Fit a regular, basic Kindle eReader, generation 7. I had been spending hours trying to get a case for my older Kindle Generation 7 eReader (NOT Fire or Paperwhite). Finally I used Amazon's excellent chat, and the agent located 3 that would fit my Kindle. This one is perfect for my needs; a simple folding (book-like) case that wakes or sleeps the Kindle. This model does not have the magnetic closure, but I do not need that.
I was SOOOO disappointed in the cheap Kindle. I have been used to a Kindle Keyboard with all the bells and whistles on it. I read all the review and knew to expect none of them, but was/am very disappointed in this cheap one. I bought this cover for it to make it a little easier to use and it has really helped. Enough to make me not return the Kindle. The touch screen on this Kindle works when and if it wants to. At least with this cover it turns on and off easily. I still have to deal with touch screen not acting like it should, Too bad Amazon no longer makes the Keyboard Kindle.
This Kindle case fit perfectly and works well. This was a gift for my Mom, and she chucks this in her purse constantly with a mess of other assorted crap. The case is nice and keeps the screen well protected and scratch free. As soon as it is opened the screen turns on with a touch. Keeps dust and crud from getting on the screen as well.
This is a great little case. I accidentally ordered it because I didn't read the entire description. I bought this thinking it was for the Kindle Paperwhite. While it isn't meant for my Kindle, it still kinda fit. I contacted Amazon who was more than helpful in my mess up. I am giving this a 5 star rating simply due to the quality of the product, and the amazing customer service from Amazon.
