Review: It was Expensive, came in a Month Late, Not as Nice as it Should have been for what I Paid for it!

Yes, I am disappointed with this cover for my HDX 8.9" Kindle. I paid far too much money for this cardboard based cover. Mind you, I am coming off that spectacular cover for the older version 8.9" cover, which opened and closed the Kindle when I opened and closed it. Also, my earplugs won't fit into it which is REALLY annoying, since we got the ROKU 4 recently and these same plugs fit very nicely in that Jack! (To stray a moment, putting the ability to have wireless earplugs in the ROKU controller was a Genious stroke!!!!). But this Kindle won't take my regular ear plugs!! Back to cover, Bad things : it is poorly made and won't take much to break it. it is very unstable if you want to sit it up on the table and Skype or watch a movie, I can't find a comfortable place to open it when I am typing or playing a game, or reading. Major flaw!!! Good things: It has openings wherever there is an access point. I am SO glad they finally got smart and put the on and off bottom and up and down button for volume on this Kindle. Having the ability to turn the volume up and down outside of the tablet is very nice! And they're perfectly positioned openings for these buttons, the charging piece I have momentarily forgotten the name of (senior moment :-) ). And it is very easy to remove the case should you need to. That's it. For the money, check out a different company. If it was stronger, I would give it more stars. Also, the front is material and not smoothe plastic or leather and I have already spilled something on it. I can't get it out and I am afraid to get the cardboard wet! Overall, I would not recommend this cover! Extra star for the wonderfully placed openings for access ports.
