The major issue I have with this is that I fear it's not going to last.  The mechanism by which the tablet cradle turns isn't too sophisticated, and it's difficult to turn.  I'm not entirely sure it won't come apart before it loosens up.However, that aside, this is pretty much everything I could want for the Fire.  It supports the tablet both horizontally and vertically at three different angles, so it pretty much has you covered for hands-free use.  It also has a hand strap for ease and security of holding if you're not using the easel.  The cover is nicely padded and there is an elastic band that will help keep the covers closed either during use or while not in use.  It's pretty well designed in those respects.I can't swear that the cradle will hold the tablet securely, but that's a worry with a lot of different covers.  It's something you take on faith, I guess.  In all, it's pretty darn close to the cover I wanted, and that's a good thing.
