TrendyDigital MaxGuard Plus Kindle Cover , with Embedded Corner Closure, Laminated Canvas, Black
The picture does not do a good job of depicting the GOLD GLITTER that is inside the seemingly white-only swirls. The picture looks much more classy than the actual product. In reality it is quite tacky looking. Another negative is that it SMELLS. It has a very oily, chemical smell that I’m hoping goes away eventually.
On the positive side, I love that it securely holds the Kindle. I’ve had no problems with the inserts and it’s very snug. I would, however, recommend the top flip holder rather than this one. The cover does not fold back as easily as depicted in the picture. You’re then stuck with always “turning” the page with your right hand.

The photo doesn’t give a true representation of this case; the swirls are white with bright gold glitter. It’s actually quite pretty, if a bit too glam for my taste. My daughter loved it, so we swapped cases and we’re both happy.
This case is almost like a skin and case all-in-one. Instead of securing with straps or a hinge, the Kindle slides in from the inside edge and is enclosed in a protective pocket. It covers front, back and edges, except for screen, button and port cut-outs. Since it protects more areas from scuffs, this case an excellent choice for Kindles that get tossed into purses with a lot of other stuff.
The magnetic closure is strong and nearly invisible. There’s no wayward snap or strap to dictate where you can comfortably hold the folded back case while reading.
I keep very short fingernails, and I had a little trouble activating the power switch. Since the cut-out is tightly placed, my usual method of running the pad of my finger across the top doesn’t work well. My daughter didn’t have any issue with it at all, since she always slides the switch with a fingernail.
All in all, it’s a well-made and eye-catching case.
