Review: Loved the idea, didn't like the case

My son saved his money to buy a Kindle Fire HDX. Of course I wanted him to have a case to protect it. This is the first one we tried. I liked the idea that there was an inside shell (basically a hard case for the back of the Kindle) that was removable, and the fact that the case zipped up and had a strap.I liked the IDEA of it, but in the end, the case fell completely short.The first disappointment was the feel of it. It's a leather look, but felt cheap and plasticky. The second is the strap. It is cheap plastic (like something that would be on a a freebie something), and it was so small that a child's wrist barely fit in. A typical strap like that is usually at least an inch or two longer enabling one to slip it on a wrist and hold on.  The third and biggest disappointment was the removable shell. Every time we tried to remove the device from the pouch, we cringed, hoping that the whole case wasn't going  to come apart with the force required to wrench it out. I worried that the interior part that held the shell on would come off as well, and I still think it might with repeated use. It should be easier to remove it for use.Others have given this decent reviews, but it just wasn't for us at all.
