This case is as wonderful as I expected! I finally gave in to buying a Kindle Touch because I travel a lot. I was holding out because I couldn't imagine not holding a real book in my hands. I was thrilled when I found this case inspired by my favorite book. It adds a nice personal touch to my Kindle; almost like holding a classic bound book. I love the texture and elegant design of the case and it's received many compliments.
Now for the functionality:
PROS:
-The elastic bands hold the Kindle Touch securely in place without interfering with the screen, buttons, or
headphone and usb jacks.
-Case is sleek and lightweight; doesn't add bulk.
-Flap can be folded back for one-handed reading.
-Provides enough protection for the Kindle. I feel comfortable tossing it into my purse.
CONS: (I gave the case five stars despite the following cons because if you are a big enough Jane Austen fan to buy this, the cons are so minor when compared to the fun of having this case dress up your Kindle.)
-The case is likely to be dirt-prone due to the color and texture. So far I have managed to keep it pristine by
taking extra care to only place it on clean, dry surfaces, and touch it which clean hands, which is a good
practice regardless of what case you have. Though it provides good protection, this case is obviously designed
primarily for decorative purposes. If you need rugged protection, this one's not for you.
-I think the spine of the case might start to crease after a while since I usually fold the flap back when I read.
-It would be nice if the case had a closure, but it seems to stay closed even when being tossed around in my
purse.
