At first sight I really liked this case-- it was a major improvement over the kindle cases of the past which had corner straps and the like. It is very much made to look like a book from the front. The kindle snaps into it like an iPhone snaps into a case-- an improvement again over past designs. It has a strap to strap the front closed, and everything about this case is great until you've had it a while and notice a couple details were overlooked. There are no magnets in it to turn the screen off when you close the cover and at first I thought there was going to be a charging issue with the strap-- which there was not. I'm not sure what others are saying about not being able to charge with the device in the case. If you're coming from an iPad you will close the cover but the screen won't go off and you'll think: WTH!?All in all, it's a very nice case, not a perfect case because of the one issue with no magnets-- it's not a deal breaker but doesn't make sense to not take advantage of that feature of the tablet if it's already there!?  It's hard to find a good case, so I wouldn't hesitate to try it if you like the design and can live with those exceptions.
