Review: So close to perfection, with one big flaw.

I love my Fire HDX, prior to buying it I used an original Fire and my biggest complaint was that I couldn't pair a bluetooth keyboard. When the HDX first came out I was disappointed in the few keyboard case options I saw, I don't like the style where you slide in your Fire and have an edge of the case wrapped around it. I ended up purchasing a stand alone keyboard which worked fine but was a bit of a paint to carry around since it was separate from my Fire.I was thrilled when I saw this case, my husband owns a similar case to this one for his iPad and we both love it... that particular model is solar and doesn't require you to power it off manually when you're done using it... two features I didn't realize how much I liked until I didn't have them. So while I love the looks of this case, and how my Fire looks in this case, I do wish it was solar and that I didn't need to manually turn it off, I've drained the battery more than a couple times on the case by forgetting that.My biggest complaint, is that I wish the keyboard was removable from the rest of the case. While I don't always need to type, I do always like to have some protection on my Fire. It's crazy heavy to leave this case on for playing a game or watching a show (if you're holding the Fire for either) and it's really uncomfortable to try holding it with the keyboard folded around to the back as well. I find that I end up taking my Fire out of the case all together, which leaves it unprotected, so now I have to keep two cases with me... this one for when I want to type, and the Origami for when I just want to watch a show, browse the web, or play a game. If this keyboard was removeable it would be perfect.So all in all a very nice option, which is just almost perfect.
