Review: Not an awful case, not a great case..just a case.

I got one of these via the Vine program.I chose the black (with a little grey) color. I've also tried out theBuilt Kindle Fire 7" Jacqui Stafford Case in Snake and Peace patterns.The Good:This has snaps that hold the Kindle Fire 7 securely, make sure you press down until you hear all the corners "click". I like these more than the Built's (and similar models') fabric triangles, which should never be used to secure expensive purchases.I like the auto-wake magnet function, which makes it ready to unlock when you open it.I like how the case stand lets it stand firmly on the model's side, so you can watch movies and play games.The bad:The magnetic clasp holds well enough but I think it could be done better, it's not a total problem.The auto wake magnet means you have to turn the Kindle the "wrong way", or upside down, so that it can only be charged when the case is wide open, which is a little weird.And the 'fuzzy' interior attracts dust and lint when you flip the model open for charging, it gets pretty dirty sometimes.The bottom line:This isn't a bad case for the money and the designs are simple enough and don't 'pop' or standout, very nondescript. It's better than the Built version, overall, and worth the 5 bucks more.
