When it goes into standby, you'll have to make sure it's safe to open the enclosure to turn it back on. As it is, I'm not sure it is any better than a zip lock or drybag, and it's no doubt more expensive.
Also I would have designed the enclosure to open at the bottom to slide the Kindle in, rather than having the seal go all around the circumference of it. Any little bit of sand could cause the clamshell to warp a little and leak. And there are too many clasps (4!) to operate and break, etc. By contrast, most camera enclosures need only one clasp and are good to 10-20 meters. Yes, I DO want to read while snorkeling! <g>
