I am not a big fan of covers for kindles. In general I like to use them without a cover. But the most common problem with kindle is a cracked screen and covers really can help with that.
Over the next three days I am going to review the three covers I have used recently.
I do not now own a Kindle Paperwhite. But twice in the last two months I have helped a friend replace a broken kindle with a new Paperwhite. That has given me several weeks to play with the Paperwhite and try out the covers.
The official Amazon Paperwhite Leather cover is a totally different type of cover from the covers that Amazon made for the first three generations of Kindle. Instead of the elastic corners of the first two generations and the prongs of the third generation, this cover uses a rubberized plastic that is form fitted to the size of the kindle. (In the picture to the side the outer line around the kindle is the rubberized plastic holder.)
