How durrable is this case. Will it protect the kindle enough for general use?

Absolutely! Easy to wipe clean. I haven't dropped my kindle, ever, but I would imagine this case would be great in protection.

Bought my in July 2014. It started cracking, around the corners in September due to poor quality of plastic.

I do think it has enough protection for general use. I don't feel it's flimsy at all. Obviously a harder, heavier case would feel safer (like an Otterbox for an iPhone) but this one does a decent job. [i am saying this without having dropped the kindle...yet...so can only give you my impressions at this point]. I say buy it and see for yourself.

The case is extremely durable. It has exceeded my expectations. My friend paid $39.99 for a cover that says Kindle, which is exactly the same as this one. Same construction, design etc. Buy this and you won't be disappointed (and will have more $$ in you pocket for another e-book or two) !

Absolutely. I use it everyday while working out and have traveled with it. I've had no problems or concerns at all. My old case had a strap that kept it closed and this case does not, but I've not found that to be a problem.

I take my Kindle everywhere, and the case is holding up fine. It's still like new.

Yes, this is an excellent case and is form fitted for the paperwhite. It just snaps in and fits perfect.

The kindle snaps down into this case with no wrap around cover on the top sides. While I love the feel and thinness of the case, I worried about the protection should the kindle fall straight down. For that reason, I bought the slightly thicker ooCASE Cover for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite - Ultra Slim Book for All-New Kindle Paperwhite 6" High Resolution Display with Next-Gen Built-in Light - B. For me, it is still comfortable to hold with one hand, but offers more protection.

I haven't dropped mine, but the case deff feels durable and sturdy. You should be safe against minor drops.

I would say, unhesitatingly, yes. I have had no issues with this case, and don't treat it particularly gently. It is holding up fine, except for a little wear on the edges that is expected given the rough places I have taken it.

It stays closed very well. Even being jostled around, like in my backpack on an airplane, case stays closed. I've had mine for a couple of months and no problems and I travel a lot . I think it's an excellent product for the price. Your kindle will fit nice and smug so shouldn't even fall out.

yes, it's very durable, I've dropped my phone several times, no scratches, or scattered screen. purchase it, you want go wrong.

I would not consider it as durable as an otter box defender or equivalent. However, for as sleek as it is, it does offer suffice protection. I've dropped mine several times and have had no trouble thus far.

Hi Jane, Thanks for your enquiry. I'm sorry but you won't be able to use any other case while the Kindle is in the Beachbuoy. If there is anything further that we can do for you please do not hesitate to contact us. Many Thanks. Team@proporta

Yes, its durable. I through my phone in my purse a lot and it has held up. It doesn't offer much protection as a OutterBox would, but I don't think it was designed to. It's very pretty.

As long as it doesn't get soaking wet, it should be fine. I've spilled soda on mine and had to rinse and dry it off, and the structural integrity wasn't affected. And I've dropped it down a flight of stairs without any damage to the case or phone, so it's very sturdy. I've had it more than a year now and it's still like new even though I drop it at least once a week.

It's definitely sturdy enough for the Kindle Paperwhite. I have the old school Kindle and it holds it. :)

it is surprisingly sturdy. My mother uses it frequently for her Kindle DX, which is the 10" version, very similar to an ipad.

Very easy, nothing extra to do like with beautiful but impractical origami cover which you have to slide the kindle up to expose lens and (1) that required two hands, not always possible when photographing,and(2) the darn device would l d frequently fall out of case. This procase provides great protection to the kindle while still easy to use all the kindle features including camera. The elastic band in back is very sturdy, will stand up to use,and not get all floppy and useless. Worth the price, I've tried 3 cover so far

It's pretty good, in my case at least. I've dropped mine countless times and it has yet to break (until I took it out of the case, dropped it on the ground accidentally, and had it run over with a truck). But yeah, it's a good case.
1277304
Yes. I use mine all the time for games and sometimes I slide it across my Kindle and it has not scratched my Kindle at all. Like I wrote it is a cheap item that really does work well for me. So I do recommend it.

I am buying my second case. Plus 2 more got to have a spare!!! I was at a baseball game and dropped my paperwhite from the bleachers. I was at the top and there was cement under the bleaschers. The case dropped on the edge and bounced and cracked the cased, but my kindle was fine. I LOVE THIS CASE!!!! :)

Oh yeah I know what you mean. Well, I've had it for about a week so far & I've used it A LOT. I haven't had that problem yet. I don't think you'll have a problem but then again I'm not 100% sure. This is a pretty High Quality case. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I would think it would work just fine. The cover will fold completely flat against the back of the Kindle so it can be used just like a tablet. Also since it will stand the Kindle it would be good for games, reading and other apps. Since it has the sleep/wake feature it saves on the battery and protects the face of the Kindle when the Fintie is closed leaving it flat like a book for easy carrying in anyone's bag or backpack. Have had my cover for merely months and am in my 70's can't really testify to durability in the hands of a child, but it appears to be quite sturdy.
