Review: Functional and light Kindle case

This has the word "Amazon" emblazoned on it, so I wasn't surprised at how well it fit.  I was surprised at how well I like it though.  This is extremely light and only adds a few ounces to the weight of my KF HDX (named Sherman - he of the Wayback Machine that can take you anywhere and any time).  Sherman wakes up when I open the case, except when I forget to charge him, like now.  Grr.  There are magnets all over this case to hold Sherman in without covering up the sides of the screen with straps, which is great because I like to get Decal Girl skins to dress up my toys, and the magnets let me see the design.  The camera turns on when I slide Sherman up in the case, but I think it's silly to use him as a camera.And as advertised, the covering flap folds to use as a stand.  It actually took me a while to consistently fold it properly.  It's not hard - it's just that sometimes I'm not as smart as I think I am.I got this through the Vine program.  I probably would have given it 4 stars if I hadn't already gone through several cheap cases.  If I had bought this, I would have picked the red one, but the black one is super nice.  Turns out that at $69 (what it's going for today), this is a little expensive, but ultimately a good value.  I'm not going to intentionally test how well it protects Sherman from a drop, but if I accidentally test it, I'll update this review.
