Review: It's the one

So I have ordered 8.9" Kindle Fire HDs for my wife and I, and thus far have ordered one case...the Amazon brand fuchsia case for my wife.  I know she'll like this case as she reads a lot and it is very light weight.  As for the second case (my tablet), I have spent a ton of time researching other brands and I visited Best Buy and tried 5 different cases in my hand--but I keep coming back to the Amazon case.The main reasons I like it after snapping the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" were:- The tablet fit was very secure.  It took 15-20 seconds to make sure it was in there but after it was snapped in, it was not coming out- Slim fit and light.  This was big for me.  I tried out some Marware cases at Best Buy but they were too bulky for my tastes.  They had a lot more features, so if you want those great.  I appreciate the fact that new tablets these days are slim and light and don't need to make my new Kindle Fire HD as bulky as my 1st gen iPad.- Classic look.  I just like the way it looks.  Some of the discount fake leather covers look a little like those cheap cell phone covers you'd see a mall vendor selling 5+ years ago.  Maybe those covers will do the job, but I plan on using my Kindle Fire 8.9" a lot and might as well like the way it looks.- Stand worked fine in landscape view sitting on bed and on bedstand.The high cost has been widely discussed in other reviews and I agree the case is more expensive than I would typically like to pay.  One option is to buy your cover "Used" from Amazon Warehouse.  That is where I bought the fuchsia cover for my wife and I got it for around $35 and I did not see one imperfection on the cover....it just did not come in its original box (packaged in a ziploc bag inside of the shipping box).So, bottomline I am going to keep the fuchsia case for my wife (unless she doesn't like it on Christmas!) and buy either an ink blue or black case for myself.**One final note, I don't plan on sharing my tablet with my young kids, but if I did I would probably go for something heavier and more robust like the Otterbox case.
