I bought a Voyage when they first came out and had it sent to my sister in Tennessee. At the time I bought it the only case available on Amazon was their Origami case so I ordered it. Three weeks ago my sister came to Mexico and brought me my Voyage. I could see some obvious enhancements in the Voyage over my Paperwhite 1 but the Origami case was so inadequate, and so irritating, it made my impression of the Voyage device less than outstanding.

Today I got a new case for the Voyage. I should be furious. The shipping firm, DHL, gives meaning to poor service. Their so-called tracking system is useless and their customer service is poor, and their delivery estimate date is a joke. Add to that the fact that the $15 case became $36 with shipping and taxes.

The new case is lovely, minimalist, has automatic on/off and a magnetic closure but it covers the charging light. So, I got out my pocket knife and whittled a little off the case so I could see the light.

Once I was done I put the Voyage back in it's case. I love both the case and the Voyage. Having a nice case makes the whole experience, for me, better. I was shocked at how much my overall impression of the Voyage improved.

FWIW, my case is a Moko. I gave it a four-star review and mentioned the one and only drawback of covering the charging light.
