Review: A good case that does the trick.

I'll skip right to the point some people might like to hear about:  Is this as good as the Origami case?The answer: No. Not really.With that out of the way I can say that Belkin still put together a nice standard case for the Kindle Fire HDX. It feels sturdy and doesn't smell bad (many cases come to you smelling like a chemical plant) and it holds the Fire firmly. It's not too thick, but still adds a fair amount to the Fire's traveling size. The cover is protective enough for my purposes, and the prop feature works as advertised.I would like it to be a bit less stiff-feeling, but I can't call that a glaring flaw. I'm sure it will work out after a while using it.I only docked one star because I find the outer material feels just a *tiny* bit cheap; like old upholstery. I can't quite explain what I mean here... You'd have to feel it for yourself to really get what I'm saying... But I think I greatly prefer cases that have a rubberized feel. This isn't bad, mind you, but the silicon/rubberized covers don't show stains like this one does, and they just feel better in the hand over prolonged use.It's a great case, though. A solid four-star case. I'd recommend it for the new Kindle HDX owner who doesn't want to drop all the money on the Origami case. It's good enough to get the job done and protect your device, and really, that's all it's meant to do.
