My 10 year old son saved up his money to buy a Kindle Fire HDX for himself, so we've been on the hunt for the right case for him. This was the 2nd one we tried.We liked the blue color -- a bright/dark royal blue. Overall, it felt a little flimsy because the back is a fairly thin plastic, but it went easily into the shell and held securely. The top is very thin and I do like the microsuede backing. My son doesn't use it standing a whole lot, but the stand worked just fine.The top doesn't close securely unless you use the band, which is fine, but my son generally didn't want to mess with that, so he left it as is, just laying on the top. That's fine unless you are putting it inside a bag or something to carry it, in which case I would want to cover it.This backing also just flaps over the back of your hands as you're holding it (horizontally which is how my son usually holds it), which was somewhat unwieldy. That plus the thin plastic caused him to ultimately dub it "annoying." Because there was another case on Vine available for us to try, and we weren't 100% happy with this one, we decided to give another one a try.
