Just got this for my new kindle and it works great! The kindle fits pretty snuggly in it, and the magnet keeps the cover firmly closed. Don’t really notice an issue either with the material. Sure it’s not super soft, but it’s not terribly rough either.

Exactly the same quality as the Amazon Oasis cloth case released years ago. So if you like this basic case design, I think you’ll be happy with the material and build quality of the version built for the PW V12 and Colorsoft.
The exterior cloth is robust and waterproof. No need to take off the case while at the beach or while reading in the tub ????.
The molded plastic interior that clips on to the Kindle has been reinforced in the areas that have tended to crack in past versions of this case.
CONS:
The molded plastic interior is still made from brittle, crack-prone plastic. Why hasn’t Amazon changed to a more pliant material that would be more long-lasting?
The plastic interior is open on the top and bottom—please see the attached photo. If you happen to drop your Kindle in just the right way the case will offer little protection.
The basic design of this case with a front flap isn’t great for marathon reading where one may be holding a Kindle for hours. It adds weight, bulk and fussiness.
OTHER OPTIONS?
A simple TPU case like what many folks use for their phones would work better for long reading sessions.
And a simple padded pouch would be more protective for storage and travel.
The two in combination would offer more versatility and utility than this case at the same or lower cost.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Amazon all but invented e-readers and has continuously improved the form and capability of Kindles over the years, just as one would expect from one of the world’s most innovative companies.
And yet Amazon Kindle cases haven’t really changed at all in more than a decade. They’re still just molded brittle plastic with a glued-on cover that isn’t all that protective and isn’t all that great to hold. Dated, anachronistic and nothing special.
It’s time for Amazon to rethink what’s possible in more integrated, more protective, more comfortable to hold and overall better Kindle cases.
