Review: A nice case with good function - sleep on/off is GREAT!

I received my blue case yesterday. From the outside it is a simple case - with a leather front and a plastic back. It is very thin and the piece of fabric that holds both front and back together is floppy - vs. the kind of hard spine type that I have had before in Kindle cases. However that actually makes it easy to hold back when you are reading or watching. In terms of stand capability it works ok on a solid surface but not so great on my stomach laying in bed. Since I don't do too much laying in bed (other than reading for which this case works fine) I'm all right with that.Up to that point it was a 3 star. It earns its 4th star by the sleep on/off functionality which is really nice and greatly appreciated. The color itself is just fine - not overstated. I like the case and it looks sturdy enough to function for protection from external things like scratches -- probably not sturdy enough for a drop though.
