I tried this product at the same time with Verso "Profile" Standing Cover for Kindle Fire HD 8.9" This is a good product although I think that, for the price, the Verso product is a better deal.Pros:Fit, the kindle tablet fits very snugly in the case. It will stand up to being dropped, bumped or otherwise mistreated while the Verso case will drop the tablet if roughly handled.Weight, this case is much lighter than the Verso case, so if weight is an issue, or you read a lot while holding it up in your hands, this is the superior product.Cons:Price, at $54.00 this is around $20 pricier than the Verso one.Looks, this is a leather case that, in order to make it sturdy has been designed in such a way that it almost looks like plastic. The Verso one is more elegant looking.Functionality, The case will only hold the tablet in one position, useful for viewing videos, but not so much for using the touch screen keyboard or playing games. The Verso case has two positions, a higher one, think easel, and a lower one where it is much easier to use the keyboard or play games.Don't get me wrong, it is a good product and I shall use it a lot, especially outdoors, but there is room for improvement.
