Kindle Case Fit Guide
Before purchasing a Kindle case, please make sure to confirm your device model and device code. Kindle has multiple series and generations, and some names can be confusing (for example, Kindle Paperwhite 11th vs. Kindle 11th Gen). These two look similar in name but have very different sizes, meaning their cases are not interchangeable.
This guide will help you quickly identify your device and avoid ordering the wrong case.
