Review: Not as good as I would like it to be

I just upgraded to the HDX, so I was looking for a case for it. My favorite color is purple, and as this seemed to be a color that wasn't obnoxiously bright or made of some leather substitute that looked like it came from a long-dead alien, I went ahead and got it. It's *almost* perfect...but the "almost" may be a deal-breaker.Starting with the positives, I *love* the color and the chambray fabric. It has a nice feel and seems pretty sturdy. The color doesn't make me feel like I should be wearing sunglasses in order to protect my vision, and is actually very lovely. It goes on easily and stays on well. The cutouts are perfect and allow for easy use of any and all buttons.The con? The cover of the case is only attached halfway on the back, so as I'm reading, the Kindle tends to...droop...down and to the side. It is not firmly held in place as I would prefer. It does tend to make for awkward reading at times. It would be easily fixed with a bit of velcro, since it would attach to the back of the case and not to the Kindle itself, but still...it's a design flaw that is uncomfortable for long reading.Otherwise, I love the case. I will probably attach the velcro in order to keep using it, but the need for that removes a star.
