The better 2024 Paperwhite Kindle flip cover case choice
I'm tired of the expensive Amazon branded Kindle covers falling apart prematurely on my older Kindles, so I wanted to try something new for my 2024 Kindle Paperwhite. I have used Moko cases in the past and found them to be a good value and great drop protection for my devices. I wanted a jade colored case to match my new Jade Paperwhite 2024 Kindle and while this Moko flip cover case doesn't match the jade color exactly, it is super close. (see attached photo of this case next to my new jade Kindle).Important things to know about this Moko case (in any color model):* It has a magnetic closure that holds the case cover flap onto the Kindle screen. This works correctly to power the Kindle off when closed and on when the flap is lifted. The magnets center the case cover flap well and keep the Kindle's power off when closed. Only if the cover is forcibly skewed diagonally (e.g. inserted into a very tight backpack's tablet holder sleeve) will the Kindle turn on. I suspect this would be the case for any flip cover case, including the Amazon branded ones.* There is no magnet to hold the cover flap onto the back of the case when reading. Not a big deal, I'm just used to this on the case I currently use on my Kindle Oasis 3rd gen.* The case's fake leather exterior surface feels great and is grippy just like the leather cases from Amazon.* The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite fits into this cover very sunggly with ease. The drop protection edges on the case design look exactly like the Amazon branded Paperwhite cases. (see attached photos)* Weight: 130g (4.6oz). The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite on my scale weighs in at 210g, so this case makes my Kindle noticeably heavier. FWIW, the TPU cases I've also reviewed weigh close to 53g, so if you are looking for a lighter, yet protected Kindle, you may want to check them out too. example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DHLQ8Y4Y* Power button: Whenever I use a Kindle without a case, my pinkie finger will frequently accidentally turn my Kindle off while reading. In the past, cases on my Kindles fixed this issue by blocking the power button. This case does help prevent this issue, but the large case cutout to access to the power button (and USB-C port and status LED) did cause a few, albeit less, accidental power button presses. This cutout design seems to be common on all brands of Kindle cases nowadays.* Dimples were found on this case's cover when I received it (see attached photo). Amazon shipped it in a paper mailer without any padding surrounding the case. Amazon customer service promptly offered a replacement.Overall, with the good luck I've had with prior Moko cases, I believe this Kindle case is one of the best for the new 2024 Paperwhite devices, plus it has the same quality and protection as the much more expensive plant based leather cases with Amazon branding.Ver másVer menos
