It protects my kindle and it was easy to put on. It’s clear and is the perfect size for the kindle basic 2019. My last case was fine too, but it yellowed quickly so I tossed it. Hopefully this one doesn’t yellow or at least lasts longer than the old one. I like the ridges on the corner because it makes it feel more durable if I were to drop it. It’s easy enough to hold, but I do think I will prefer it with a pop socket. It’s not much bigger than the kindle itself, so it is easy to take with me or fit into a smaller size purse/pouch.
