The border goes around all the way on both sides, which is nice when holding the device. |

Poetic case report
I ordered yesterday from Amazon (free Prime shipping to be here Saturday) and received it today (Friday). I like the way the magnets hold the cover closed, but alas, it does turn mine off and on (and off and on and off and on) with the cover folded back and held against the back of the case. So I won't be able to use it since that's the way I hold it. I like the feel of the googleproduct case much better (smooth and soft) and the Poetic case smells of plastic, which the googleproduct case didn't when I received it. Just my opinions. The poetic case might work well for anyone who doesn't fold the cover back. Corners need to be whittled as did the googleproduct case.

I have a slip case from http://www.sfbags.com for my Paperwhite. It's a bit more expensive (though I didn't have to buy mine as it was part of the Winter Contest) but it holds the Kindle very well. It won't let the reader slip out and even has a plastic piece between the inner and outer lining of the case to help protect the screen.

So I would be careful with both cases. The one might not have the wake-magnet, and the other might be a case for the Touch. |

I have already considered all of this. Thanks for the warning, but I'm not an internet n00b
I do indeed not trust the second case. The first case is listed by many different sellers for different prices between €10 and €35, and most copy each others descriptions. There are a few that do mention the sleep/wake function. I have already ordered that first case and received it several days ago. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=204953 |

The case I ordered on Jan. 25 from Ali Express arrived today. I got the brown one:
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/214286529.html The kindle fit easily but snugly into the case. I really like the look and feel of it. It does have a magnet for the auto wake/sleep feature but I didn't see it mentioned. Over all, I'm really pleased with it; especially for the price. |

You probably will, but if you don't have it after 4 weeks you may be in for a long wait. I've had stuff arrive after more than 6 weeks. It was apparently stuck at customs somewhere.

On my case, the corners don't need to be cut at all. |

Mine did fit fine into the case, it was just getting it out that was a problem. I've found that a silicone-covered bowl scraper I have (silicone covered so as not to damage the back of the kindle, but stiff because there's metal inside) works well if pushed between the case and the kindle on the "spine" side and then slid down toward the lower left corner. Once you get that corner loose, the rest is possible. My experience has been that the whittling has helped with all of the third-party cases. I'd love for them to add a magnet that keeps the case folded open as well as folded closed. The elastic strap on the earlier cases served that function. I read on my side(s) in bed and since they don't offer rotation in all directions on the PW, the case can't be used as an easel for landscape mode in both directions. And then there's still the remote... lol Thanks again.... |

I would not worry. I did, when mine still had not arrived and I was getting ready to go overseas for Christmas with the case, but then I got it on time. Should be any day now.
