Review: Stiff folds; wobbly when used as a stand

the fit for this case is good and I believe it would offer a good protection to the Fire HDX in the case of a fall. The leather-like material has a good hold and does not slip in your hand. However, the overall design of the case leaves a lot to be desired. When you open the cover and fold it back for a one hand holding, it becomes too bulky to hold comfortably with one hand, The creases don't work on both directions, so you don't get a nice fit. When setting it up as a stand, the little tab on the back is very rigid and requires a lot of effort to separate to insert he cover. because of the same issue with the folds not being well defined in my case the bottom does not end up being flat - it is rather rounded and unstable, falling back or front very easily. I wish designers would have taken the time to make the proper creases and folds on the cover to make sure it bends properly and maintains the desired shape.
