I have the leather case on mine so it automatically turns off when I close the cover. I usually charge my Paperwhite every few weeks.
Not sure if you have bad experiences with Kindle "Special Offer" editions in the past, but if not I would HIGHLY recommend you get that one instead. Not only are they cheaper, Amazon has been known to push through their own exclusive deals via Special Offer Kindles.
If I remember correctly, there have been discounts on their gift cards, steep prices cuts on electronics such as other Kindles and TVs, or more recently a Chromebook that went for $50 (I think).
I'm definitely going to preorder a Voyage. But I'm waiting on a case similar to this one.
The default Amazon case is nice and rigid, with a magnetic clasp - it's one of the better cases I've had for a device in a long while.
Get the official amazon case...it's great. http://amzn.com/B007R5YFS4
Then pickup a cheap neoprene sleeve with it. http://amzn.com/B005KELR3A
What you have created is a otterbox-like case for it....a hard rigid shell surrounding the PW protecting it from bends, etc. and then a soft absorbent case surrounding the hard rigid case which protect it from falls, bashes, etc.
I have this setup and couldn't be more happier. I have the exact same cases linked above...the official PW case fits nicely, but a little snuggly, into the Belkin neoprene case.
If you're going to be in a wet environment, pickup some desiccants to help with the moisture issue, and use them with the PW case - maybe in a ziploc bag or smaller pelican bag/box. http://amzn.com/B00967JFMM
A word of caution about moisture: What you do not want to do is expose the device to a very moist/humid environment, and then shove it back in a waterproof/etc. bag. You need a way to get rid of the moisture - putting it in a waterproof pelican bag is basically creating a small greenhouse, because the moisture has no way to escape. Your stuff will be "dry" but it will never feel 100% dry. Electronics will suffer tremendously. This is why I suggest the desiccants. Keep a ton of them, and replace them often. Store them separately, in multiple bags (large ziploc bag, then smaller ziploc bags with 1-2 desiccants each). This way when you need 1-2 you only have to expose a small number of them to the environment. Put one wherever your most precious gear is...so in the bag your PW is in, your socks/underwear, maps, etc. They will absorb the moisture but need to be changed probably 1-2 times a day depending on how wet/humid the environment is. Read up on compartmentalization of your gear for your trip, and Good Luck!
Have you taken a look at the official Amazon cover? I've had mine for about 2 years now and it's fantastic. The 'leather' is starting to wear down on the corners but it doesn't really bother me.
Here's my ideal Kindle wishlist!
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Case, Onyx Black - fits all Paperwhite generations https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007R5YFS4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_GrnhzbZQB7KFB
I like this a lot! I was able to get it stupid cheap a few years ago.
It's the Amazon kindle paperwhite leather cover in "Ink blue."

I have the official Amazon cover for my Paperwhite and it's actually much easier to operate and hold in one hand. Most of that is because it's smaller, thinner and lighter. The case is also quite nice, as the entire body of the Kindle fits into it snugly rather than being attached with metal clips on the side like my old Kindle Keyboard.
As for the touch screen: fear not, for I had the exact same concern. I was worried the lack of physical buttons would be annoying. Turns out that using your thumb to tab the screen is very easy, perhaps even more convenient and reliable than the physical buttons on the Keyboard. There's plenty of bezel on the Kindle and the case its own to let me hold on without accidentally touching the screen, as well.
I didn't get a protection plan, but I did get a nice portfolio case like this one. I like that it automatically turnd the Kindle off once you close the cover.
It's the official Amazon leather case:

It's heavier than I would like, but is well made and protects it well enough.
I returned my first one due to the weight, but ended up needing to get a case and couldn't find one I liked better, so I bought another.
I have the official Amazon case and I really like it. It's solid, comfortable to hold and I can use it to prop up my book when I'm reading in bed.
Here's a link to the official case for older Paperwhites on Amazon USA: https://smile.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Paperwhite-Leather-Black/dp/B007R5YFS4/
They also have a premium leather case for older Paperwhites: https://smile.amazon.com/Limited-Premium-Leather-Kindle-Paperwhite/dp/B00U0IZD2W/
So, supposing you had the official leather cover that wakes your Kindle up when you open it... Would that be a good way of effectively "hiding" the screensaver ads?
Just a thought.
Yeah just this.
Hey, It's you again!
I was hoping that you would find a way to make the case for the Companion 2 now that it has been announced, and here you are, not 2 days later.
I have looked into your case more deeply and if you are taking suggestions, I might hazard a few for you.
Honestly for me, extra weight isn't as much of a consideration as much as form fitting protection, unified form, and your brilliant stand design.
Thanks for making such a great product. I'm sorry if my suggestions overreach your production capabilities, I'm not sure what they are precisely.
Huh, that is neat. I don't actually have a voyage, just some of their older paperwhites and previous generations. Something like this guy: Amazon link. Maybe give a cheaper case a try, 60 bucks is a serious price for an accessory.
What I personally use is this. I don't think its quite what you're looking for but I am 100% satisfied with it.
It wouldn't protect from scratch while you're using it, but it does a wonderful job while its in a backpack or something.
Cool, thanks! Is this the one you're thinking of?

I have this case and even though its a bit pricy its very nice quality. Fintie has one similar to it but don't know if its the same quality. Its very light also! I keep mine in the bedroom and my hubby says I often fall asleep with it in my hand!
