Review: Very Good and Almost Great

The best feature and one I absolutely love is the way the Kindle just snaps into place.  It's impossible to mess up the alignment, something that couldn't be said about some prior cases.The blue color is darker than pictured tending more towards navy, but I think it looks fine.  The leather appears to be high quality, but stiff.  It took me a bit to get used to the origami folds (when standing the Kindle vertically), but after a few attempts it seemed pretty smooth.I don't know why Amazon continues to choose to put the speakers on the back of the Kindle.  However, this case beautifully redirects the sound towards you.There are two areas where the case is less than stellar.  1. The price is outrageous.  It's a great case but not a great value.  2. The case covers up the rear camera and flash and I found it difficult to slide the Kindle up to expose them.  The product video makes it seem really simple and smooth but I did not find this to be the case.All in all I recommend the origami case, finding it very good and almost great.  If they lowered the price and resolved the need to move the Kindle up to take pictures it would be excellent.
