Review: Good If You Mostly Keep Your Kindle In One Location

This case has it's pros & cons.  What I like is how easy it is to use, it isn't the least bit bulky & is comfortable in the hand.The so called kickstand is a bit wobbly.  It works, but you don't want it on any surface that is moving (like your lap or while in a vehicle) or the kindle can topple over.  The kickstand works by folding the cover back & inserting it under a little tab.  Once in place it stays, but the part that becomes the bottom of the case is what is a bit wobbly.  It is not thick or weighted in anyway, it is part of the cover.The kindle securely snaps into a plastic shell.  I have no fear that it might fall out.The case provides basic protection & allows for movie watching as long as it is on a flat, sturdy non moving surface.  When it's closed the elastic strap keeps it very secure however there is no protection on the sides.It is very simple in design in function.  I am happy enough with it while only using my Kindle in the house, but it's not the kind of case I'd use if I need to transport it around often.  I'm not sure why the price is so high for something so basic with such a flimsy cover. If you are looking for a case with a design similar to this but better quality & compariably priced, I recommendMarBlue Slim Hybrid Standing Case for the All New Kindle Fire HD, Black (will not fit older generation HD Kindles).
