First and foremost the Amazon case is a work of pure art.  They have tailored it perfectly for the new Fire HD.  It is a FULLY functional cover.  The cover auto turns off your screen when closed but does not stop books from playing or audio from streaming from the Amazon cloud.  The top has easily accessible buttons for audio volume.  No fumbling around to find the buttons.  They are raised up and easy to locate.  The master turn off switch sits right next to these.  The power plug in and HDMI out ports are open on the right side of the case.The case offers two well placed screen openings for the dolby speakers so that if you have the case closed the music or audio on the sound is totally unobstructed.The advantage to this case is that the new Kindle Fire HD is much thinner than the previous Fire.  So this stand allows to to enjoy the thinner form factor while still providing ample coverage.  If you like to carry your kindle fire around.... than you probably should go with the Marware version.  My experience with the Marware has also been good.  It offers a much thicker cover and a strap for your hand.I prefer this case for this version of the Fire because it adds no bulk to the device.It is well made and I expect years of use.
