Backstory: I bought the original Paperwhite in early 2013 and while I was looking for protective sleeves I stumbled upon a recommendation from this forum about a sleeve from Waterfield Designs (
this model). That thing was
perfect for me: fits the Paperwhite exactly, soft padded interior, hard plastic layer to protect the screen, and durable water-resistant exterior. The damn thing fit what I wanted so perfectly that I created an account on this forum just to thank the person who suggested it. I still use it to this day.
Fast forward almost exactly 9 years and I just upgraded to the new 2021 Paperwhite. Unfortunately it's both longer and wider than the 2012 Paperwhite so it won't fit in the old sleeve, and I come to find out that Waterfield Designs no longer makes Kindle sleeves.
I'm looking for something that fits the Paperwhite exactly (so it doesn't rattle around) and has a durable exterior that's not leather. Amazon/AliExpress/Etsy turn up a lot of generic sleeves and pouches that fit multiple different devices, and some of the sleeves I found on Etsy that fit the Paperwhite exactly are made from felt and I'm not a fan since that material accumulates dirt and grime way too easily.
So if any of you have recommendations for something that better fits my criteria, I'm all ears.
