I bought this one from AmazonUK. It seems to do a very good job. I bought the Rose Gold but there are plenty of other colour options.
  • The Sleep/Wake magnet works perfectly. Unlike many ereader cases over the years, it does not have the problem of the sleep magnet switching the reader off when the front cover is folded to the back.
  • The clip-in shell case is flexible TPU rather than hard plastic so it's quick & easy to remove the cover if/when you want. Also it's unlikely that the corners will crack which is another common complaint with hard plastic shells.
  • If I have a complaint it's this ... the cut-out for the charging port is in the right place, however the port is quite close to the top edge of the rubber rim of the shell. The chunky plastic 'collar' behind the metal micro-USB tip of the charging cable will push against this rubber rim. You need a charging cable which attaches very firmly so that it moves the flexible rubber rim out of the way while charging. If the cable fit is too loose the rubber rim can push back against the cable collar and possibly cause a dodgy connection.
All in all I'm very happy with my purchase.
