Better than I expected

Better than I expected
I bought on a splurge and I don’t regret it. When I read on my phone I find myself wandering off to different apps. This keeps me in my book for hours. I thought the lip on the back was weird but I actually like it because it feels like you’re holding a real book. There’s some wear as I was expecting with it being refurbished. Nothing that is enough to bother me. Worth the $35
