Review: A better combo than the one for the smaller Kindle Fire HDX is... though also suffers in documentation area

I would note that I got one of these case/keyboard/cover combinations for both the 7" Kindle Fire HDX and its bigger brother. The keyboard size on the smaller item is of course smaller since the cover/case is smaller. It still functions well enough for me, but persons with bigger hands/fingers might find themselves unhappy with that case.  That really shouldn't be a problem at all with this case/keyboard and the larger size Kindle Fire HDX since the keyboard in this particular case is larger and easier to work with for just about anyone.Like the case for the smaller unit, this item suffers from the exact same problem with a lack of complete documentation.  In fact, both items point to the same documentation area back at the manufacturer's support website.  I do like this case and keyboard combo but I think the manufacturer (Belkin) just plain went a bit too sparse on the documentation (at least for now). There was precious little documentation in the package as received, basically just a very limited quick reference card that points the buyer to the manufacturer's web site for additional information. While the card tries to offer enough instruction to get by, personally I think it fails. Even the materials at the manufacturer's website is lacking, since it never bothers to tell the user what the flashing light means when the included keyboard is charging. (Seriously, it shouldn't have been left out of the online FAQs :-( )As opposed to the case for the Kindle Fire HDX 7" device, I think the case (and keyboard) for the larger Kindle Fire HDX really fairly well hits the mark.  The included case components, or should I say the components that hold the Kindle Fire HDX device have a very nice feel.  It fits snug and securely but doesn't intrude on the use of the Kindle Fire HDX at all.  Very, very similar to the Belkin Folio Case/Cover that I also have for the smaller device.The case itself, because of the keyboard, adds a bit of weight to the Kindle Fire HDX, at least compared to other cases. That can't be helped, but it really doesn't seem to be too hefty at all.  While it is definitely more weighty than a more typical folio case/cover, this device beats others in the usability area assuming this device is going to be used on Facebook or for sending any measurable quantity of e-mail. With the keyboard you can be fairly well assured that what you typed is what you'll see, versus the on-screen keyboard which doesn't lend itself well to speedy touch typing.This case feels nice to hold and carry as well, again, really nothing that I could complain about there.All told a very nice case that I really do like.  While I may not absolutely love it (especially with my current complaints about the documentation), it really isn't far from a 5-star rating from me.
