Review: Best keyboard case currently on the market for Kindle Fire HD

This case provides a good amount of protection. The Kindle Fire is held securely in the case and when closed, it's completely flush with the keyboard which obviously has no rough edges that could damage the screen. I slip the whole thing into a neoprene sleeve for extra protection when I have to stick it in my bag for work or school, but for use around the house, I have no worries about my tablet being damaged while in this case.Keyboard itself is very responsive and has a nice "chiclet" style akin to Apple keyboards. The keys are well spaced so you have ample room for typing. I personally hate when keyboards try to cram everything in as small a package as possible because it makes natural typing pretty much impossible. I was comfortably using this keyboard within 30 minutes of taking it out of the box whereas some of those "micro" keyboards (as I like to call them) I never get fully accustomed to. I have an iPad and a MacBook, but this keyboard has been making me give much more love to my Kindle Fire HD that I received as a gift because it's far more portable and is all I need for most non-work/school tasks.My only gripe is that the tablet does seem somewhat prone to tipping if it's bumped the wrong way. I always have kiddos and pets running around my home and a couple times it's been whacked across the top by a passing hand flailing about and it's flipped right over and on it's face. Granted, this is probably unique to my situation and not typical use for this case, but I feel some other cases do a better job of keeping the tablet stable during an occasional jostle. No stars deducted because most people won't have an issue with it.The only potential stumbling point is the price, which I admit is pretty high compared to most other keyboard cases on the market. But I truly feel that this one is exceptional and improves over the standard keyboard case in many ways. Also, when you look at the competition for a leather non-keyboard case, it's really not putting much of an extra dent in your wallet by comparison. I feel this case is a really wise investment for people who use their Kindle Fire HD heavily for anything that requires a moderate amount of word processing. While I can't create presentations on my Kindle Fire HD, I can do just about everything else I need to for work and school, and in a much more compact package than my MacBook Pro. Love it all around!
