The Incipio Fully Zippered Folio w/Removable Snap-on Case is the best cover I have used so far for my Kindle Fire HDX 7. It has a black leather outer covering with tight stitching around the edges of the round-cornered front and back covers. The Kindle on/off button and volume control buttons are activated via rubber buttons flush with the back cover that extend through the cover to the device. The inside of the folio is a light brown soft cloth material. There is a 4.5 in. leather carrying handle that attaches with a carabinier clasp to a ring stitched in at the top center of the Folio. The zipper enclosing the Kindle zips well, and the zipper tracks are embedded in strong black cloth well-fitted to three edges of the covers. A leather zipper tab is easy to grab and pull the head along the tracks that allows for complete opening and closing of the case. The covers extend 3/8 in. beyond the zipper cloth. The unit stands up on the bottom edges of its covers but does not have any other height or angle adjustments for screen viewing.The Kindle Fire HDX 7 snaps into a plastic retainer that in turn snaps into a plastic base fixed inside the back cover of the case. The Kindle can be removed with the plastic retainer, but it takes some finger prying effort to get it loose from the plastic base. This inconvenience has its good side because the tight fit holds the Kindle solidly inside the Folio. There are 6 pockets on the inside over that are good for holding ID and credit cards. There is a wider pocket at the bottom of the inside cover for a passport, note pads and other papers. There is a pen holder loop at the inside junction of the two covers.This is an excellent Folio for the Kindle Fire HDX 7. I take the device with me more often because of the good protection the Folio provides from bangs and drops and the ability to store cards and to take notes.
