To tell you the truth, I really didn't like that EVA case, because it looked big and bulky to me. I'm sure it would've done it's job the best, though, to protect the Kindle.
It's true that I did not accomplish my initial goal of finding a hard, non-flexible case, which also didn't attach to the Kindle via the side clips, hence making it easier for quick insertion and removal of the device. But I am very happy with this new slip case that I have, because it is light, cushiony, and it is very easy to insert and remove the Kindle. I believe it's also slightly more protective than the Amazon case which I also have. I accidentally dropped the K3 while it was in the closed Amazon case once, and the side-tabs got a little bent, so now it's more difficult to insert and remove the Kindle because the tabs don't line up. If I drop the Kindle while in this slip-case, I think it would be more protected on account of the extra cushioning.
I discovered today that it would probably be very easy to cut a slit on the bottom of the WD slip case, pull out the thin plastic insert, and replace it with a very rigid piece of plastic. I might do this one day, if I find an extra piece of plexiglass or the like laying around. Then it would be the perfect case for me. I believe with a rigid piece of plastic covering the front, it would be very difficult to damage the screen, since any pressure applied to the front of the case would be distributed evenly across the entire face of the kindle. If I ever do this customization, I will tell you guys how it went. If it works out well, I'd probably call the guys at Waterfield Designs and see if they can make a design like that.
