I'm finding myself taking this Kindle on the road. I couldn't feel comfortable it would be return home unscathed. I wish I had ordered it along with my purchase of the Kindle itself. I was trying to reduce my expenses--how silly was that? So I hiked over to Best Buy and found this black leather case. There were other cases available but this one was the least expensive.Alot of people have discovered how hard it is to find the sleep button on the side of the naked Kindle? This solves that problem as the cover's sleep button and sound button are slightly raised. I'm  thinking that the Amazon designers had meant to keep the Kindle's button as smooth as possible so that the cover would fit snugley around the device and with the cover on it, the buttons are easier to find.I bought the black case but there are other colors and they are very bright.  Buy this case, you will find it improves your Kindle Fire HD's functionality. It is a four star rating because there is only one position you can use: open and propped.When you close the cover it puts the Kindle to sleep and it awakens it when you open it.Unfortunately, when you prop it open, as shown in the picture of the product, the power plug is on the bottom edge and you cannot have the Kindle plugged in while using it.
