Review: Good in 'standing' position ONLY

I was extremely excited to use this case, but I'm sad to say that I find it virtually unusable. The HUGE thing that it has going for it is that, like the official Amazon case, it 'locks' the Kindle into place rather than 'strapping' it in or sliding it into a sleeve. For that, I give it a bonus star. Unfortunately everything else is a disappointment.. Here's my run down:PROS:- 'lock'-in case- standing feature works okay- sturdy cover, good quality materialCONS:- stand works, but is kinda iffy. I'm constantly worried it will fall.- HORRIBLE to hold when not in 'standing' position. The back flap waves around maddeningly and is a nuisance. You will NOT be able to read on your HD with this case because it is so difficult to hold with that flap flopping about.- Games are also hard to play with this case, due to the same unsteady grip.- I repeat, unless your kindle is stationary in the sitting/standing position, you will go insane. The case does not appear to be meant to be held in ones hand.OVERALL: While I like the material and snapping/locking feature instead of the slide-in or strap-in variety, I almost immediately removed this case from my Fire because it was so difficult to juggle when in my hand. I occasionally want my Kindle propped up, but most of the time I'm holding it. For me, this case is virtually useless. Not recommended.
