It's a good idea to get a Kindle Paperwhite case to protect your e-reader from scratches and drops.

The Kindle Paperwhite is one of the best e-readers on the market. It's waterproof and full of features that avid readers will love, like an adjustable warm light, weeks of battery life, and fast page turns. 

But as impressive as it is, the Kindle Paperwhite is not invincible. Its screen and shell are still susceptible to scratches, dings, cracks, and even bends when dropped or under enough stress. Whether you're a traveler, commuter, or just someone who's especially clumsy with your device, a good case can help out.
