The Belkin Chambray Cover for the Kindle HDX is a nicely constructed, small footprint case. If I wanted a case for my Kindle Fire HDX that was low profile but protected my Kindle, I would be very happy with this case. The Kindle fits well, the cover has an elastic band to keep it closed. I usually only view my Kindle in the landscape mode, and that is how this case works, and it works well. I have had all the Kindle Fires now, and the stand aspect is very important to me. This is one of the best. It does not offer the automatic on and off feature that some Kindle HDX cases have.But...I also have the Fintie Folio Case Cover. This cover is terrific. They call it leather, but in small print it is synthetic, which is fine. This case is incredibly protective, snaps closed with a quality snugness...and, and it has the automatic open and closed feature. Open the case, the Kindle turns on. Close it, the Kindle turns off.At $14.99, this beats the $34.99 Belkin all to heck. The landscape stand is out...outstanding (snork). If I had never had the Fintie, I would be quite happy with the Belkin. If I am ever in a situation where a very low profile works...the Belkin is fine. But I cannot see me ever using any other cover that the Fintie for my Kindle HDX (unless someone comes up with a keyboard case and the keyboard is not manufactured by whomever makes all the current ones...they all breakdown in a month or two).Bottom line, nothing wrong with the Belkin, but everything right with the Fintie.Fintie Amazon All New Kindle Folio
