I've noticed that like myself customers are involved primarily with 2 things relating to the new lighted case from amazon. These are: 1)The weight and 2) The uneven lighting. My review can briefly discuss these 2 things.
1)The Weight - The lighted leather case may be a nice weight, durable and cozy to carry. In ounces it's regarding the burden of the kindle itself but do not let that concern you. With the case on it looks like a medium sized paperback, but it's way way more snug to carry. it is easy to carry the case open sort of a book (nice for couch and table sort reading) or to fold the front back and shut it with the bungee so the bungee does not lollygag around (this is sweet for bedtime reading).Closing the front back with bungee keeps the case folded in position and you do not have to be compelled to worry regarding it bothering you. BTW THIS CASE FOLDS BACK 100% - terribly snug. In total terribly snug to scan with the case and extremely durable.
2) The uneven lighting - Amazon's footage do not try this case justice. the sunshine hits the complete screen. Yes if you look closely it's brighter within the prime right corner then within the bottom left however Amazon's pics create it look the highest is lighted whereas all-time low is dark. there's smart light-weight everywhere the screen. Trust me i am fussy regarding this stuff - the lighting won't trouble you, your entire screen are lighted and it's extraordinarily pleasant to scan within the dark.
*Final Thoughts - nice case, smart quality, works well, kindle feels terribly secure and guarded (I would feel snug slipping this case into my backpack or suitcase and that i assume it'd sustain some delicate impact). Lastly hinges are a non-issue, casing of the kindle won't get broken with traditional or maybe slightly aggressive use. you may injury the kindle by attempting to drag the rear of the case however you'd have to be compelled to extremely force it to cause any kind of injury to your kindle. The hinges work fine and may not be a priority to any case user.
