Customers like the grip of the Amazon book reader accessory. They mention that it's great, works great, and feels great. The brown leather is very soft, but sturdy, and has a nice vintage patina to it. It's beautifully made, with a nicely tactile vulcan rubber trim, which looks like it will wear. The leather feels slightly padded, which helps customers have a good grip on it even if they have damp hands.

Customers like the weight of the accessory. They mention that it is substantial and durable, but not heavy. The case is very slim and fits the Kindle reader perfectly. The rubber/plastic holder for the e-reader is heavy and holds the ebook securely. It has a fantastic weight and feel to it, and fits in the back pocket of their jeans. The weight is excellent for multiple reading positions, and adds little to the bulk of the reader. The plastic is fairly thick and has some elasticity.

Fine leather case with ever changing patina
5 Stars
Fine leather case with ever changing patina
Do you like nice natural leather products and love holding your Paperwhite? Then this is a really well made (and expensive) case you should consider.As other reviewers mentioned, this case has a natural finish (not suede) that shows marks easily (see my photo how it shows "a to z" via a fingernail). If you're not fond of patina, take a look at the standard Amazon leather cases which have a very tough treated texture (the yellow case in some of my images). Or opt for one of the inexpensive paperwhite cases ($10 Fintie case shown in my multicase photos with a very dark brown color below the yellow case). In my opinion, the $40 Kindle leather case's leather feels the same as the obvious plastic "pleather" of the Fintie case. Just be aware that the inexpensive Fintie (other brands too?) cases don't provide as much drop protection as the Amazon Kindle branded cases (see my photo of the case interiors and edge profiles).Amazon claims this is their lightest case. On my kitchen precision scale (second measurement made in grams): Premium Leather Case: 4.8oz (135g) Amazon Kindle Leather Case: 4.9oz (140g) Fintie case: 3.1oz (87g)Lighter yes, but by a negligible amount. Fintie case is noticeably lighter with its super thin edges and minimal drop protection.Total weight with 2014 Paperwhite inserted into this premium leather case is 12.1oz (343g).I personally thought the leather on the case looked dry. After making the "a to z" mark on my case (see photo), I applied saddle soap to the top of my case. (see photo that shows the darker cover with saddle soap rubbed on it and the untreated back of the case). Notice how the "a to z" mark has almost completely disappeared. My last photo shows how the saddle soap darkens the case, making it a darker walnut brown color. While the case can still easily be scratched, 50-75% of a light scratch can be rubbed out easily and quickly with a finger now that the leather is more moisturized. If you want to experiment with saddle soap (or other leather care products), make sure you test only a small part of the case first and ensure you like the result.
