I own this (great) case and I have both Kindle Touch and Paperwhite. I can say for sure it does NOT fit the Paperwhite. Amazon, Roocase, please fix the description saying that it fits the paperwhite! Roocase has made a separate case for the paperwhite HERE:http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Ultra-Slim-Leather-Paperwhite-e-Reader/dp/B009LB2V3I/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1358453943&sr=1-1&keywords=roocase+paperwhite
Here is my earlier review of the case:
This case is hard to find on Amazon. So if you've reached this page, consider yourself lucky this is the best case out there, although few know about it.
I am hard to please and have researched all possible cases, going as far as exploring Canadian and overseas websites (I am a perfectionist)... After all, if the case bothers you, it will be with you for a long time!
First I had bought the iBLASON handsfree case in brown, encouraged by the great reviews and the stand-alone quality. I was disappointed it is an OK case, but nothing like the Roo. It made the Kindle 3 times thicker and of course, much heavier. It did not feel intuitive, the leather was too firm, not to mention, it did NOT have the option to detach the Kindle in its velcro-ed inner case that the Roocase has which I think is a major factor, because it makes the case lighter to hold in one hand (not that the Roocase is heavy, but it becomes even lighter and thinner this way).
Enters Roocase. From the moment I opened the package, I felt happy. When an item is high quality, it just makes your heart sing right when you see it.
1) The only reviewer here who gave this case 3 stars all else gave it 5 stars did not understand the purpose of the velcroed inner case, as was pointed by another reviewer; her second grievance that the screen was recessed and she couldn't thumb it I found nonexistent as well. No problem thumbing and reading with one hand whatsoever!
2) The texture of the leather is very good looking. It looks expensive and VERY well made. It has a wonderful grain to it. When I first put it on my Kindle, my jaw literally dropped. It was so beautiful.
3) The case is intuitive it just feels intelligent, soft-leathered, lived-in and multipurpose from the very beginning. You can detach the inner velcro-ed case, and read with ONE hand OR put it on a flat surface and let it stand on its own! Very handy when eating or doing something else.
4) Despite its complex beauty, the case "disappears" for you mentally, once on the Kindle, as it should.
5) At this mind-blowing quality, the price is a STEAL! I am convinced that Roocase is currently the highest-quality stand-alone case maker for eReaders.
6) I could even find space to stick in a stylus horizontally, on the bottom. Great!
(By the way, if you do own a Roocase, and find ANOTHER case of same or higher quality and roughly similar price range please leave a comment to this post. I'll be happy to know about it.)
When I woke up the next morning, the Kindle in its Roocase was the first thing I saw and it made me feel happy again. My heart was so content that I ordered another Roocase in Magenta for my Nook (i have both Kindle and Nook, due to the crazy competition between the two half of the books are available only on one, and half only on the other e-reader).
I am so relieved after so many hours searching picky me, finally I have a case to love. Whew!
It is unfathomable why there are so few reviews for this case...
Because no one can find it it appears only on page 20 if you search for a Kindle Touch case.... Amazon, this is a crime, given how hard it is to find a stand-alone case for the Kindle touch there are very few on the market, although they are the most comfortable.
It is even harder to find stand-alone cases with velcro (so when you want to hold the Kindle, you can detach the inner, lighter case from the outer, bigger case) it is a great feature! So this case should be on page 1, not page 20! ;-o

One minor piece of feedback for the Maker (if Roocase is eavesdropping): I want to see more colors. Besides Black, You offer only Magenta and Red I imagine mostly teenagers, or girly-girls will like these colors not serious readers, which I suppose is your target market. Please add more colors maybe silver, wine, olive green, yellow-green, or intense dark blue, as is now the fashion? There are so few stand-alone case choices on the market, and it is impossible to find a case that is funky (vs corporate) YET comfortable. So you will gain more following if you make more interesting colors. (And, if you ever do, please leave the central ribbed portion black don't paint it the same color it will make it more unique.) Secondly, the backing of the inner case is hard I'd prefer a soft and thinner backing. It does NOT bother me but it is a tad weird. I won't take points away for these, since none of them really bother me, and probably, no one but me would notice them. In conclusion, I can only say, keep up the great work, Roo!! Everyone else should buy this case immediately and cross this off your To Do list.
Thanks for reading my review and, if it was helpful, I'd really appreciate a click on the "yes" button.
This case has a small, fold-out easel attachment on the back that fits into slots on the front of the case when you turn it inside out. This works well, and it's great to have many angles to choose from. The case seems sturdy, and it seems like it will protect my Kindle well. I also like the color and quality of the leather--it's a beautiful crimson.
However, there are two small features of the case that could be better. First, the magnetic case closure is hard to close. You have to line it up carefully and press it hard. I have magnetic snaps on some of my purses. They close instantly, so I was expecting the one on this case to be easy to use, also.
Next, though fairly lightweight, the case is rather bulky. It puts a leather frame around the Kindle that fits into the case with Velcro. This way, you can remove just the Kindle with its frame to read it. While some may like this option, I don't like to take the Kindle out of its case, so I don't use it. It only gives the case one more layer, making it thicker than it has to be.
Other than those two points, I like this case. However, if I find a standing case that isn't so bulky, I might buy that instead.As I think other reviewers noted, this case was hard to find on Amazon; for some reason it did not appear when I searched in the Kindle Store. I was looking for a case for my new Paperwhite that would allow me to read comfortably while still encased, provide good protection to both screen and body, and maybe offer handsfree upright reading positions. I found a few in the Kindle Store that came close, but reviews were so-so, and the most reasonably priced of them were vinyl -with many complaints about strong chemical odors. And the leather ones were very pricey.
Then I got an ad from Amazon about the rooCASE, which I found on site only by searching by name. I was stunned by the very low price -especially for the black one -all the many features I was looking for, including leather, and the good reviews. I even got free Prime shipping despite the low price. With nothing to lose, I ordered but my expectations were not too high, to be truthful.
It did take a couple of minutes to figure out how it goes together on the Kindle because there were no useful instructions included (my only complaint). But the design is really genius, and very obvious once you take a good look. More importantly, it works perfectly for all of its intended purposes. And it is a perfect fit for the Paperwhite, while still allowing access to everything needed for functionality of the Kindle while encased.
The quality is very good and so far has held up well with no signs of wear. Even so, I love it so much I went and ordered another at the same low price, to have on hand when and if I ever need it.The seller was very good as was the delivery. The item was mediocre in that access to the controls is hindered slightly by the design. The case should not interfere or make it difficult to access the controls. This item has a lip that is too close to the down button making it distracting to perform that same function that is easy if the kindle is not in the case. Otherwise it would be nice.I find this product perfect. It is very handy. I was on a train trip recently and they have the fold down tables in front of you and I used the this product to prop up my Kindle with the notched ribs on the table. It was very comfortable to read the Kindle in this position. It also protects the Kindle as well. If there was to be one negative ,it is the magnet that holds the cover together,I personally think it should be a velcro connection instead of the magnet. The magnet does not seem to be strong enough.Kindle Fire Leather Cover by Marware, Black
