Let's begin with aesthetics, the blue hue of the case is super vibrant ... it borders on turquoise and it truly gorgeous. The white stitching helps the color "pop" all the more. Additionally, it is infinitely touchable ... very soft. The interior is also very soft and obviously capable of protecting your Kindle from scratches. Now, I do prefer an elastic closure to a magnetic one ... I think elastic ones have a bit of a cleaner, less day-planner appearance. (These seem like a slightly "dated" style to me).There is a bit of thickness (i.e. padding) to the case. This does not make it any heavier than your average case, but it does give me confidence that if I dropped my Kindle in this case, it would be protected. Much appreciated, Belkin!The stand aspect could be a little more slick ... but, I rarely use this, so it does not bother me as much as someone who frequently uses the stand.The matching Belkin logo in the corner is appropriately subtle. (Some of the cases have a silver logo which can be a little abrasive to the eyes).Though I would not purchase this with the intention of constantly using the stand, I think this is a lovely case that has the potential to protect your Kindle a bit more than most cases I have.
