My son saved his money to buy an HDX, and we wanted the right case. We tried two others. One was very disappointing and one was okay, but not what we were looking for.This one is VERY slim and form fitting, which makes it feel almost like a part of the device. I don't think it's leather, because I think it would be described as such, but whatever it is is soft and supple and pleasant to hold.The other two features I enjoy are the stand. The rubberized feet can be positioned anywhere on the pad, so it can stand straight in a tripod (as my Kindle HD does), or a more slanted view. Even though it doesn't have a catch, it is very sturdy. We both like this a lot.The other is the clasp. At first my son complained, because it doesn't just click shut with magnets. You actually have to push the tabs on, but it's not hard at all (just harder than simply shutting it, and he's 10 so he complains when he has to "work"). The benefit is that it is then closed very securely.I was only offered black on the Vine reviewer page, but am happy to see it is available in many colors. That is his only disappointment with the black one.
