Review: Neat Cover but a Little Pricey for What You Get

This is a pretty neat case - it securely holds your Kindle Fire HDX and, once you get used to the folds of the Origami pattern you can stand the HDX up on its side in landscape mode on a table or level surface: trying to prop it up on my bed kept having it fall down as the surface isn't firm or flat enough to make the holder "hold."When you do close the case / cover up, it will put your Fire HDX in sleep mode, and it wakes it up when you open the cover back up.  The speakers are in the back of the Fire HDX, and one of my concerns with the HDX was the cover would muffle the sound: the designers put just a small amount of space between the cover and the speakers so the sound can get out and reverberate off the back of the cover and towards you as you are watching a video, etc.While the Origami feature is nice if you are into standing your Fire up, it is a little flimsy for me for when I am reading: I like holding the cover like a traditional book, and having a foldable cover in my left hand makes it seem a little flimsy.  In retrospect, I wish I would have purchased a firm cover vs. the Origami one as I don't stand mine up very often, and pricing seems a little high at $65 for what I have.  However, it is well constructed and it's my own fault for not going with something that was practical - as well as economical - such as the Marware cover designed for the HDX that sells for $20 here on Amazon.
