Review: Some Good, Some Bad

I like this cover, and it fits my first gen Kindle Fire just fine.  It has three stretchy corners that fit around the fire, allowing the screen to be fully accessible.  I like that the tab is magnetic and holds the cover shut but can also be put on the back cover to hold it out of the way when the screen is in use.  However, when the tab holds the cover shut, it has to be placed carefully or the pink background around the white tab is not even.  Yes, I know that is just a little too OCD, but it looks sloppy when it is crooked.The adjustable stand is nice.There are things about it that I am not so crazy about.  There is no pen/stylus loop and no pocket for a slip of paper or two -- both very handy things to have in a cover.  However, because the cover is kind of a tri-fold for the stand, a bit of paper can be put behind the Kindle.My cover was packed in paperboard packaging but no plastic around it, and was put in an Amazon corrugated box. It rattled around in the box a bit so the white was smudged when I got it.It cleaned up reasonably well, but does smudge fairly easily.  The pink and white part feels like a canvas-type material and the white part feels like matte faux leather.  The inside is a soft moleskin-type fabric, very bright pink.The product description says "Hidden AutoWake Magnets wake up your Kindle Fire when you open the cover" but that didn't work for me.  I don't know if I am doing something wrong, and there were no instructions, but based on the description, I shouldn't need them.So, this is a cute cover, especially for those very fond of bright pink, but it is not my favorite.
