Review: Better But Not Perfect

Update: Like every Kindle Fire keyboard I have had...they must all be made by the same manufacturer...the shift key began to malfunction almost immediately, and the same three letters quit working after a month. Save your money.Unfortunately, this is my third Kindle Fire HD keyboard. Fortunately, it is the best yet. My first two were riffs on the same theme. Keyboards that had trouble pairing, had sloppy keys that often stuck, and that stopped working within about two months of being put into use. I have not had this keyboard for two months, but I am hopeful. I know and trust the Belkin name.This keyboard paired easily and, so far, has worked flawlessly. The keys have a nice feel and the keyboard is relatively easy for an old touch-typist like me to use. The case is not too thick, but feels solid. It does not automatically launch the Kindle when opened.Now for the reasons it does not get five stars. The case is not easy to stand up. Part of the cover folds back but it does not hold its fold very well. This also makes the entire thing have a tendency to slide forward. As much as I like this keyboard, I am not 100% sure I will keep using it.I travel...a lot. The real test will come in a week when I try this out on an airplane. I will emend this review after the trip.That said, if you want a keyboard for your Fire HD, this is the best I have found.
