Well, they almost got it right!  This case has a very nice cover, the method they use to secure the Kindle Fire HD is very secure and does not intrude on the display, the magnetic clasp to close the case works well, the standing feature to hold the unit open to view video is nice and works well, so what is not to like?The case is designed such that you must put the Kindle Fire in UPSIDE DOWN in order for it to have the magnetic tabs work to shut off the unit!!!!  This puts the speaker connection for headphones on the bottom and makes it impossible to charge the unit while the case is closed!!!!  You also cannot charge the unit while you are viewing videos!!!!!If all you are doing is using this to view videos (an you do not need to have the charger connected while doing this), then it probably will not matter to you.  But, if you listen to music and use it to read with or surf the web this will be a pain.  Also, if you want to be able to charge the unit while it is closed or while you are watching a video, this will not work.Of course, if you do not care about the auto on or the auto off feature, then you can insert the Kindle Fire HD in the correct way.  However, with as much of a pain as it is to use the on off switch, I do not think this is a good option!If they would fix the magnets for turning off the unit, this would be a fantastic case!!As it is, I would NOT recommend this case.
