I have my reservations of holding onto a leathercase that adds to its weight and makes it more uncomfortable to carry. I rather save that 40 bucks and buy some cheap pouch to carry it around. Another reason for the case is protection. If you drop a naked Kindle on the floor, depending on the height and angle of impact, the screen may break. A case will help to cushion/spread the impact more. |

I guess we need to wait for the actual product to appear. My experience with the Touch is that it's actually better to have the Amazon case because the device becomes much easier to hold (it's very thin by itself.) |

But from all the browsing, I noticed that for a case, they all need to have elastic bands to hold the paperwhite, unlike the leather case ($39) from amazon. which does away with the bands. Aesthetically its so much more friendly and less distractions when I read my books IMO. I don't have any past experience with kindles, so this is my thoughts just from browsing. Thanks for the awesome website recommendation! I didn't know of Etsy until you mentioned it! |

E-ink displays will "flash" momentarily black when changing screen content, if I am not wrong. Its not like LCD pixels which can change instantly.
Had a Nook for a couple months last year before selling. The flash isnt distracting after a while but some people may mind it. Of course the E-ink's paper like quality is still unrivaled
