I purchased this product at Best Buy shortly after I bought my Kindle Fire (KF). It was priced at $39.00 at the time, but is now available for $27.00 while on sale.Some thoughts on the Verve Folio Stand for the Kindle Fire by Belkin...1.) made of a quality leather2.a) the inside panel that actually comes in contact with the KF screen is made of leather that has a soft, velvety quality.2.b) outer panels... a harder, tougher surface that has a slight pebbly quality to prevent slipping.3.) viewing angle (landscape)... it is possible by folding the case back on itself, to view the screen at a slope anywhere from about 33 degrees to just below vertical (90 degrees)... great for finding that perfect reading angle.4.) form fitting... minimal width or bulk added to your KF when folded up.5.) access to controls... the open sides allow you complete access to the power/sleep button, headphone jack and microUSB port for charging your unit. Although the speakers a partially covered by the corner tabs you can still hear sound through them.6.) holds your KF in place with four elastic tabs that go across the device's corners... easy to insert, easy to remove, yet very secure.7.) has an elastic strap across the back that helps you hold your KF when using it in portrait mode.8.) although I've had this product only a short time, it appears durable thus far. The leather has retained its luster and the folding area shows no sign of cracking or splitting from the bending that comes with frequent use.Impressions:A quality product... a slim, light-weight leather case for your KF, providing protection from scratches and minor knocks.I looked at every case available before I decided to purchase this one and would not hesitate to buy this one again.5 Stars... more if I could.Ray Nicholson
