4 Stars – Belkin Portable Blue-tooth Keyboard for Kindle Fire HD 7” is handy as it is cumbersome. Handy because it's nice to be able to use my Kindle as something other than a reading devise. Which can be used as something other than for reading only with the touch screen keyboard... however it's nice to have something you can hold and that's an actual keyboard.It's easy to use, and suggests charging it before use, which I'm thankful it tells you to do this... but the instructions are lacking on anything else. I had to guess and figure out things on my own. There's not a lot to learn but it's just so much more user friendly when you don't have to worry about figuring things out and can pretty much plug and go without questions.The keyboard also functions as a case which is great. It's a bit cumbersome compared to other cases but it's a bit of give and take when you're talking about a blue-tooth keyboard. Speaking of the keyboard it's small, compact and takes some getting used to. Those with larger fingers and hands will have some trouble so should keep that in mind.Charging the keyboard is easy, you plug it into a USB and you're charging!In the end this has been pretty handy and I have plans to continue to use it while traveling or shorter overnight or weekend trips instead of taking a laptop. I'll be interested to see if further use will become easier as I get used to the smaller keys and keyboard itself, which I hope will be the case. I believe that Belkin products are always pretty spot on when it comes to price points yet this one seems to be a bit on the high side.Belkin has always provided products that we have appreciated and I know we will continue to purchase  from this company on into the future.
