Review: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Case (for 9th generation Paperwhite)

I still hadn't found a decent replacement for my wife's Moto Z Play, which is as fabulous a phone as you can imagine, though its 32GB of internal storage is now starting to get cramped. Her old case was getting beat up, so I bought her a new case, and now it felt like a new phone! (The nice big battery in the Moto Z Play means that the phone will still outlast newer phones)

So when I noticed that Amazon was blowing out refurbished custom leather cases for the Paperwhite for under $5 after taxes, I jumped on it, hoping for the same "new Kindle" effect. This case won't fit the new 10th generation Kindle, but of course, Kindles are renowned for battery life, and mine is waterproof to 200 feet, so there's no reason for me to consider an upgrade.

At $40 new, there's no way I would have forked over for one of these, but $5, these are great. It's definitely a more premium case than the OMOTON case I used to have. The magnet feature seems to work more reliably as well. Recommended at this price.
