This attractive leather case for the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is not only nice looking but does a fine job protecting the device from bumps, rough play, possible spills and other hazards.To me the strongest feature is the magnetic seat you place the Kindle HDX onto. The magnetic surface firmly holds the device in place and keeps it from sliding around. The Origami case has a folding origami like pattern that provides a stand for either vertical or horizontal use. Very nice.Like some other Kindle Fire covers the Origami Case puts your Kindle to sleep when you close it and quickly awakens upon opening so you never have to use the power button to turn your device on and off, except when it’s time for charging as it charges faster when off. I’ve always thought this was way cool. The microfiber interior helps keep the screen clean and cuts down on dust.When you want to take pictures simply slide your Kindle HDX up in the case so you can easily snap a picture. Then slide it all the way back in the case for non-photo uses. The case is not as comfortable to hold when reading as other Kindle cases I have used but other than that shortcoming this case lives up to its promise to keep your Kindle safe from harm – unless you are a really reckless type person.
