This MarBlue case is a good budget friendly case for your Fire HDX.  It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but it gets the job done.Pros:✔ The case fits the HDX like a glove.  You open a flap, slide the device in, tuck the flap under the device, and the Kindle won't budge after that.  It actually takes a lot of effort to get the Kindle out of the case.✔ Leather-like material looks and feels nice.  Inside micro-suede fabric is soft and won't scratch the kindle. Stitching is nice and even.✔ Light-weight.  Doesn't add a lot of bulk.✔ Magnets strong enough to keep the cover closed during everyday use.✔ All the cutouts in the cover exactly match the placement on the Kindle HDX.Cons:✘ The magnets don't turn the Kindle on and off.  Need to manually press the power switch.✘ The magnets are not strong enough to keep the Kindle closed when placed in a backpack, but they work fine if you are just using it around the house.✘ When playing games in portrait mode you need to turn the Kindle upside down to view the game correctly.  Once you get used to this quirk it is not really a problem (unless you really dislike the fact that the cover opens to the right).So this is a good budget friendly case that gets the job done.
