Review: This product is a Better Kindle Stand Than it is a Protective Cover.  For Me, It is Not Practical.

This product looks good and the stand seems sturdy; however, it has some serious design flaws that make it a less than a desirable product for my taste.First of all, one of the major draws for the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is the sleek light weight of the product and the great sound.  The Amazon Origami Cover negates both of those advantages.  It more than doubles the weight of the product and covers the speakers.Next, it provides poor protection for the product and is inconvenient to use while holding the product with the cover flap open all the way. If dropped on the Kindle's exposed sides expect major damage and when the cover is opened all the way, the flap cover prevents easy access to the on/off and volume button.While a magnetic holder seems like a great idea on the surface, what happens to the magnetic strips on cards in my wife's purse when exposed to this strong magnet?This product is a better Kindle stand than it is a protective cover.  I would feel safer using the inexpensive Neoprene Sleeve Case Cover that I bought for my 11.6 inch Samsung Tablet to transport the Kindle than this cover.I cannot in good conscience recommend this product to those who are looking for a convenient protective stand and cover for their Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 inch investment.
