Perfect case for my needs. There are so few options out there to read while propping the book up vertically but after careful consideration I picked this one. The way it props up is a little touchy, if you accidentally knock the table the book sometimes falls down. The leather (or faux leather) is high quality and after heavy use for the past month hasn't scratched or stained. It cleaned up a sticky substance without soaking in anything. The 3 different grades of slant is really key considering in a well lit room - without draining the battery using the light (I read a lot) - there is a glare sometimes so changing the position is a great feature. I have propped it on a pillow on my belly in bed and it does stay. You can even prop it on a pillow sideways with the back open a bit and read it that way if you are laying on your side. After opening and closing it a few times a day for a month or so, it shows no wear yet. You do have to get used to opening it from the top down though, my old cases always flipped over the top.
One caveat, there is no protection for the micro usb port. You can clearly see it in the picture but it would have been a nice feature considering the port is always exposed.
**UPDATE**
Well, 3 cases later (2 to cover new paperwhites and 1 to replace). Why replace you say? The review is still 5 stars so it must not be that it failed, right? Right.
My damned 100 lb hooligan dog decided to chew on my paperwhite. She hadn't shown interest in two years so her motivations are a mystery. I wanted to update the case review because her shark like maw was unable to damage the kindle itself! She chewed a whole corner of the cover and 10% of the case part covering the kindle. I know she can destroy electronics - the kindle fire TV and Denon remotes have been replaced repeatedly from accidental exposure - but thank god the MoKo case held up. It was my newest paperwhite the Japanese 32 GB import and I would have been very sad if she had gotten to it. I think the thickness of the case itself saved it - or we didn't leave her alone with enough time. Whichever the reason, I repeat my 5 stars. No picture because I threw it away in horror (when I walked in and saw it on the floor I actually covered my eyes) but trust me, it was mangled. The 'thickness' that other's complain about saved it. Usually I get the black, I got the denim blue one for a change this time.

Product description
The Premium Vertical Flip Cover
This Premium Vertical Flip Cover from MoKo helps to guard you all new kindle paperwhite against daily scratches and damages. Crafted from premium, textured synthetic leather with soft, microfiber interior, it provides durability and a stylish appearance.
One of its outstanding features is the multi-angle adjustment. With the built-in straps, you can easily turn it into a stand and let you free your hands for more comfortable reading experience. It allows three angle adjustment and ensures you could always find a best viewing stance to relax yourself for enjoyable reading.
Featuring sleep/wake functionality makes this case more popular. It automatically puts your kindle Paperwhite to sleep when it is closed and wakes your device upon opening making it so easy to jump back into your latest book. This makes operation much easier and smoother, meanwhile conserving battery for longer use.
With the built-in strong magnets, it helps to keep the case securely closed even when it gets tossed around in a bag or is in a stack of papers and notepads.
At the bottom of the case, it leave a precise cutout to allow for easy access to power switch, USB charging port and flashing indicator. Even with the case on, you could charging or operate it smoothly.
Warm Tip:
This case is custom designed for your precious Amazon All-New Kindle Paperwhite (all 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016 versions).
It Is Nice To Get What You Wish For
It seems every time I'm reading my Kindle Whitepaper while having breakfast or just sitting in an easy chair, I want to prop it up rather than reading it lying flat on the table or holding it at a comfortable angle. I found the MoKo case on Amazon and ordered it right away. With 3 positions available, I can adjust the angle of my Kindle Whitepaper to what is comfortable for my viewing. I don't have to hold my Kindle or make any adjustments to enjoy reading. This case is slightly heavier and thicker than the hard shell case, but the convenience of hands free viewing at an angle that is optimal makes the size and weight insignificant to me. The product is well made. I recommend it to anyone that is wishing for a more comfortable way to read their Kindle Whitepaper. Note: After using the case for a week, I have added a modification to the case that may be helpful to some of you. To reduce the Kindle sliding on the platform when reading, I have added 3 Velcro strips (see attached photo). The case still fully closes and the Kindle turns on and off when the cover is closed.

Great bit of kit!
This is a review after 3.5 years of full-time use. My 5th generation Kindle Paperwhite has been very well-protected. Yes, the PU “leather” is well-worn around that bottom edge and showing its age a bit, but you would expect that at this point. Being able to set the Kindle up on your knee or on a table or on the arm of a couch is just invaluable: I can’t imagine how anyone can manage without this feature. These vertical flip cases are harder to find and more expensive every few years so I’m going to buy two this time and I’m trying gray next. Although the black looks good, the bits of wear and tear show up kind of gray so hopefully will blend better. I’ll report back 😀Naomi C.Great bit of kit!
