I've had a Kindle Paperwhite 2 for about 3 years now. In that time I've gone through 4 Omoton or Fintie cases. Usually, the plastic encasing the magnet cracks and the cracks grow until the case is broken. Also, the pleather that makes up the hinge keeps stretching out and developing tiny tears that make the case close crookedly. I take good care of the device, it looks pristine even after all these years, but I'm a HEAVY user so the case wears out quickly. It gets hours of use a day, every day.

With the big sale on right now, I'm thinking of upgrading to the PW3 (I REALLY want the Oasis but that's a different story entirely). My PW2 has started freezing up occasionally and the battery life has diminished from 3 years of constant use.

But I'm torn on the case. I don't want to get more Omoton or Fintie cases because they just don't cut it. Is the $40 Amazon case worthwhile in that situation? The Oasis would probably solve all my problems but it's also $310 after special offers are removed so...no.
