Review: Nice but adds a lot of thickness and weight

This keyboard is actually one of the better ones I've tried. The keys are responsive and laid out well. Pairing was as simple as it gets. And charging is fast. The bluetooth connection seems rock solid; no missed keystrokes, other than that initial lag all keyboards have while the bluetooth kicks in. Just above the top row of keys are 2 magnetic strips that offer multi angle viewing options. And my HDX fits snugly inside the case, so no worry that it will ever fall out.What I don't like about this keyboard is that the tablet fits a little too snugly into the case; I had a real bear of a time trying to free my HDX from it. I also don't care for the thickness and weight it adds. Part of what I love about the HDX is how thin and light it is; features that get tossed out the window with this case. Also, the HDX screen does not automatically turn off when I fold this case shut; I can see it glowing through the seam of this case.Overall, the keyboard is good, but the case is pretty lousy compared to the Origami. I don't use keyboards with my tablet enough to willingly sacrifice my superior Origami case. But if I'm ever going out and know I'll need a keyboard, I'd probably use this one, since it fits my HDX. Just not in love with it.
