The Belkin Chambray cover is one of the most attractive cases I've seen for a tablet.  The Dodocase is one of my favorites, as far as style goes, and the Belkin comes pretty close.  The Belkin Chambray cover has a nice leather-like binding that feels good and the exterior fabric looks stylish.  It's not too bulky either, keeping the overall shape relatively slim.The cradle that holds the Fire HDX fits precisely around the sides, with easy access to all the buttons and ports.  The rear speakers sound great through the cutouts too.  The inside of the front cover has grooves for three viewing angles and stay put as long as it's resting on a flat surface.  It is a bit awkward to use with the front cover folded over, however.My biggest complaint about the Belkin Chambray cover is the lack of magnets for auto-sleep and auto-wake functionality.  It's a very convenient feature and one that should come with all cases, in my opinion.  I'm also not a fan of the elastic that's used to keep the case closed.  In my experience, these types of elastics wear out and become loose over time.The Belkin Chambray is a good-looking case with solid protection, but I feel it really should've come with magnets, especially for the price.
