I just decided to buy an alternate case. I should have looked first before buying, I really dislike the molded snap-in case. The price is good, about half the other case and it is a slip in type. I have a similar case for the Glo and I like it very much. Not the first time I have been burnt by a manufacturers case. I sprang for an official case for the Kindle a few years ago. Turns out the metal hooks caused some type of connection short in the device and I had to replace the cover. Fortunately the device could be restarted, which I learned about here on MR.

I am still going to wait until absolutely necessary before removing it!
