I like the slim profile of this case - is it very light (4.7ozs)? Some of them were 1.6 (but I can't imagine it really is).

I bought 2 for my sisters' Kindles. They are very smart looking and very light but I couldn't tell you for sure the weight! They also regulate the Kindle - shutting it off and turning it back on! The colors are great!

It really is very light. There is hardly any difference between the Kindle with the case and without the case. I don't think it is real leather (which is heavier). I think you would like this case. It is very pretty and comes in several colors. I got red and it is beautiful.

According to my digital kitchen scales, the case weighs 3 3/8 ounces empty, and with the paperwhite it weighs 10 5/8 ounces. I hope this helps with your decision.

It doesn't add any weight that I can tell to the Kindle. The Kindle itself is a little heavy but the case is extremely light!

It ways 38 grams,.. Just over 1 ounce,.. or 1/16th of one pound. It's INCREDIBLY light,.. I can fit 4 in palm of my hand.

No, this case is not heavy. It is only 0.8oz, i don't even notice the difference.

It's really light. It's soft, leather-like material so it doesn't add any weight to the device. I carry it around in my purse.

its a very slim case it adds a little weight but nothing to be concerned about can use one handed no problem.

I've had mine for awhile now and its still pretty white. It isn't a super glossy white but it has some sheen to it. Defiantly not a matte finish. Mine is slightly scuffed in one or two places but over all its held up very well. the stand part feels flimsy at first but ive gotten to the point where I carry it around with my hand through the triangle it makes. only caution is that its a tight fit, which is a plus and a negative. if you swap out sd cards at all the case has to come off. makes me a little nervous every time i take it on and off with how snug it is. had sever drops with no damage to the tablet itself so fat, knock on wood. best of luck finding what fits you best I've had mine for awhile now and its still pretty white.

The shipping weight of the case, including packaging is around 13 ounces, if you take out the packaging, the case is about 11 ounces. It does add some weight, but it is definitely a lot lighter than many of the cases. You can hardly feel the difference, while at least I don't. So weight should not be a real concern in my opinion.

Yes, the case is very compact and light weight. Pay attention when opening it for the first time because it's so compact everything needs to be put back just so...

Sorry I have no way to physically weigh something as light as this case. But I would guess maybe 1 or 2 ounces.

I have compared the one I have to this one and they are vastly different. Mine looks of much less quality than this one. However, mine is 4oz in the case.

The case is about the bulk of a nicely bound leather book cover. I think it adds needed protection without adding much in the way of thickness. Although it seems lightweight, I realized it adds a few ounces to the pad but it poses no difficulty and is not heavy by any means. For the price I don't think you will be disappointed. I love mine.

I just weighed mine. The case AND the ipad air is 26 oz. The magnets are heavier than I would have expected but I still really like the case.

I have loved my case. It's really light weight and thin, but still protects. I was pleasantly surprised at the great quality of the case for the price. You really can't beat it in my opinion. I got the mint green case, it is lighter than in the picture, which was what I was hoping for. Some reviews complained about the smell of the case, but I didn't notice that at all. I would definitely recommend this case. Hope that helps.

No, this is a full case, one of the best I've used. Very light and the magnetic cover works great to turn it off. My only complaint is that it's not attractive. At least the all black case.

Its not as slim as you may think, but much slimmer than other products. It IS very light weight, though.

The front of the case has a slight lip that if dropped face down on a flat surface the case would only touch. It's like 1 mm

I have this case, have dropped my phone a few times from roughly 4' and it's okay :)
