New Case

 

About 8 or 9 years ago, Chad's brother gave me his old Kindle as long as I promised to use it. At the time, he often upgraded his electronics each time a new model came out and would give the previous one to a family member. I was more than happy to take this one. I got it with a black leather case that I never fully liked, but it was nice enough that I didn't search for anything else. 

A few months ago, the case started falling apart. One of the magnets even came out. At this point I decided I wanted a new one that was not only not falling apart. I wanted a pretty one. As I looked for one, I found there were not many options because apparently this model of Kindle was only sold that one year. I eventually found two that I liked and put them on my wishlist. 

When Christmas came around, I didn't get either case. However, I was given a gift card from Chad's mom. I used the gift card to buy the case I liked the most, and I love it. It is pretty, works great, and isn't falling apart.

I will have this Kindle as long as it keeps working. I know and understand that this case may wear out before the Kindle dies, and I may have to be creative about how to deal with it at that time, but I'm ok with that. For now, I will enjoy this pretty case.
