I am looking for a very lightweight cover for the kindle paperwhite - is this really 1.6 ozs. It seems much lighter than the others I am looking at .

I didn't weigh it but it is VERY light - as a grandma myself, I don't like to carry heavy things. Good luck!

I don't have a scale that's sensitive enough to check, but it's definitely lighter than the Kindle itself. And I have the purple one, too.

I don't know the actual weight but it feels really light to me. I don't find it cumbersome at all.

Cover is nice and lightweight. The problem was that they sent a cover for a Kindle Fire and not a Paperwhite then they wanted me to pay to correct their error.

I don't know exactly how much it weighs but it is lightweight. I carry an oxygen tank and I still have my kindle with me, it is easy to hold and carry.

I just wanted to protect the face of the Kindle and the price was right. I found the Finte on Amazon and am very pleased with it. I can't compare it with the expensive one but it does have many features that I appreciate. It turns on when you open it, and turns off if you fall asleep. The Finte is a good buy.

It's actually 4 ozs. I weighed it on my gram scale. But, it's still very light. I had a heavier (and more expensive one) and my puppy destroyed it. So, I bought this because of the price and I think it's great! Hardest thing is picking a color. I got purple and it's very nice.

It really is not all that heavy. The cover is .8oz which takes the phone from 5.2oz to 6oz. Tje thickness is just on the back and sides. It is similiar to the back edge of a butter knife. I like it's rubbery plastic feel. There is no protection for the screen however. I didn't want something covering the screen besides my thin plastic screen protector.

The interior of mine does not feel or look like leather. It feels like a light suede. BTW, mine is Black not Navy. Its the best Kindle cover I've ever had.

This fits a Kindle Paperwhite very well with a tight fit from top to bottom if cord is included. When they list size, it is at it's widest dimension (narrower in middle). Don't know the size of a Kindle keyboard.

I ordered the Amazon Kindle Touch lighted case, & came to check & see why I havent received it yet. BTW_ since my Kindle is a Christmas gift- I cant use it :( Did it bother anyone else that the lighted case cost almost as much as the actual kindle???? And all it does is light up & cover a kindle? No reading, wifi or anything. LOL I may look into this one... but so many are complaining about the fit- it worries me.Robin in Bama

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!

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.

Yes. I just bought one. Perfect fit. It think it says it is for new paperwhite. Great cover. I bought the purple one. It is nice classy colour

Probably the lightest.Don't really notice any difference in weight at all.Its very sturdy and makes the paperwhite much nicer to hold and a nicer appearance.I doubt you can find a better one in this price range.I have looked at more expensive ones in the stores that wasn't nearly as good as this one is.Its very lightweight but protects well.When you fold the cover back it feels no different than holding only the paperwhite itself.

Probably not its snug on the paperwhite. I wouldnt recommend it. Hope this helps.

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.

My Cognac case is for my Kindle Paper-White. I never ever noticed the weight the case added to my Kindle. It's certainly not significant.

In my opinion, yes it is. The cover doesn't add much weight or surface area so it isn't cumbersome to hold it. I prefer holding with 2 hands at times so I can tap the kindle more easily, but you can hold it in one hand with the cover on as well.

I'm not sure what changes were made to the Paperwhite. My model is probably the original and my sister's was purchased about 1 year ago.oh good! I see others have the newer model. Good to know that this cover will still fit if I bet the updated version.

It fits the Paperwhite perfectly -- it is made for it. The auto-sleep/wake happens when you close or open the cover, due to a magnet in the cover (same as the expensive Amazon cover). I wouldn't hesitate a bit about buying this. Excellent value. You can verify all of this by reading some of the user reviews.

I don't have the exact weight but the materials are not the typical cheap leather and plastic like the ones you'd find at large retailers, I don't have a scale near me right now but my guess is less than 200 grams. This cover won't make your iPad mini bulky or tire your arm if you hold it upright while reading, I'm quite happy with this cover actually
