Review: Solid, quality case

The removable case is not really removable, as far as I can tell.  It just clips on to the back of the Kindle, providing no protection for the screen, which is the most important thing to protect.  That part then clicks into the case proper. I think it's more for the sake of being able to take the Kindle out of the case somewhat easily rather than an internal, more portable case, but taking that inset out is no easier than taking the Kindle out of any other click in case.  So it adds little value.There are cut outs designed precisely for the 7" HDX, and they do line up perfectly.  I especially like that the openings are just large enough, leaving as little of the device exposed as possible.  The cutouts for the speakers are shaped like the speakers, unlike my other case which are just ovals that cover them partially.  That is very well designed.It adds very little bulk, and feels nice in the hand.  The strap is removable, and I found little use for it only because my cat likes to play with it.  Hard to read, watch a movie, whatever, with a cat trying to steal your Kindle.The inserts for papers, business cards, stylus, etc, are generous, and well laid out.  In this digital era, I miss being able to shove a movie ticket or whatever into my book for safe keeping.  This fills that role perfectly.It covers the Kindle completely, holds it securely, and does an excellent job protecting it.  For that, I give it five stars.
