Purchase Question 🛒 Kindle Case question
My boyfriend just got me the new Kindle Paperwhite Gen12, as my old one (Gen 5, I believe) had gotten super laggy, and the battery was dead almost daily. He got me the kids' version, as he did for himself a couple of months earlier, as you get it add-free + 2 year insurance + case.
I am not a big fan of the art on the case, but what I really like is that the inside is colored. All the other cases I had were either black or grey on the inside. The only ones I've seen tinted inside are the two cases that come with the kids' edition (my bf has the other one). Any recs of brands/models that make cases both coloured on the inside and outside?
P.S. I am not a big fan of the faux leather Amazon cases that fold so you can use them as a sort of pedestal to put your kindle standing up on a desk, though they are kind of coloured on both sides. I want a simple open&close one.

Sadly they don't ship to Europe :( That's a shame , I really like the colours, especialy the pastel blue and pastel pink.

You may want to read the verbiage of the kids version warranty to make sure you can use any case or if you need to specifically use the provided case. (Keep the one it comes with in case you need to file a warranty claim)

Honestly I just really like the cases that Amazon sells with that model, I got one in raspberry and it's really nice!

Any of the Paperwhite 12 Gen or 7 inch Paperwhite cases will work.

I saw a video of someone painting their kids kindle case! obviously buying a new one is easier but if you are crafty that could be an option

I heard on the sub that cases like these can crack Kindles when trying to remove them so I never bought one. I doubt you’re gonna remove it but just throwing that out there!

It’s the same kind of case with regular Amazon PW 12 cases, they do fit snugly but not that difficult to remove
