I really like the style and functionality of this case! The Kindle itself "snaps" snugly into a thick, semi-rigid, rubber-like molded case. This molded case is attached to a rigid front cover which is lined in a soft, slightly padded, gray flannel and features a magnetic wake/sleep function to preserve battery life. The entire outside of the case is covered in a black, pebble-grain leather.The molded case which the Kindle fits into has perfectly placed cut outs for charging ports, headphone jack and speakers. The power button and the volume rocker button are covered with a molded rubber skin which actually makes it easier to identify those buttons by feel. (Those buttons are a little too low-profile, I think.)The case will also stand for watching videos in the landscape orientation.The case is very thin and preserves the slim feel of the Kindle HD. It looks classy and feels good in your hand. I deducted one star because I feel it is overpriced but other than that, I'm delighted with this case!
