Waterproof (IPX8) Kindles survive submersion, but cases add scratch protection, drop protection, and functionality (auto wake/sleep, stand). Water resistance doesn't protect against cracked screens from drops.
Quality third-party cases are fine. Avoid ultra-cheap cases with overly strong magnets (can interfere with the device) or poor fit (screen pressure). Reputable brands like Fintie and MoKo are safe choices.
Usually magnet alignment issues—the case shifted or magnets weakened. Also check eReader settings (wake/sleep may be disabled in settings). Some third-party cases have weaker magnets that fail over time.
Standard folio cases require holding the case open. Cases with hand straps enable secure one-handed reading. Some readers prefer no case for minimum weight and best one-handed grip.
