Accessories Need recommendations for a Paperwhite (2021) sleeve

[tritium4ever]

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.

Not what you had before but I won't use anything except the Fintie easel case for my Kindles. They protect it and open to hold it at a perfect angle to read while dining etc.. Good luck finding something you like.

Yeah I've been looking everywhere and I can't quite find what I want. If only Waterfield Designs still made that same design...

I might end up just going to a fabric store and buying materials to make my own sleeve. Would be kinda nice to pick my own materials and color combinations.
