Review: I'm 50/50 on this case

On the positive side, it looks like and feels well made. It's ideal for propping up whether on the elliptical or treadmill or against the headboard in bed. The elastic feels snug, though I suspect it might not stay that way if I were to take it out and put it back in regularly. However, the device stayed completely secure even when dropped, which is a plus.On the negative side, it's a bit awkward to hold one-handed even when the cover's folded back on itself. The button is also a bit hard to push because the device is thin and there's not a lot of space between it and the back cover. The lack of a zipper is a bit troubling as well - it just doesn't feel completely safe without that. Also, the pocket doesn't seem to have a legitimate function unless you're looking for a place to stick stuff like post-its and receipts. The pocket isn't big enough to accommodate regular-sized paper unless it's folded and then it's too thick.At this point, I can't see using this as the primary case, though it will be useful to prop the kindle up and read hands free. But this really just comes down to personal preference.
