First off, this is quite pricey.  However, you are paying for the quality of the materials used to make it and the very inventive design and function.  It sounds like a novelty case, but it is very versatile and useful that the only reason you will ever want to take it off is when you buy another for a different color.It also might look complicated based on the photos, but it does actually make the device easier to use, with optional viewing methods and most of all, a secure protective case.  No rubber bands or straps to wear out, and it made perfectly for the HDX 8.9".  So much so that if you are buying the device for the first time, this truly is the first case to start with.  I have bought so many different kinds as they either fall short or fall apart.  I despise the elastic band types that cover the corners, and others that are just not ergonomically appealing or functional.  So this was a pleasant surprise and welcomed additions to my accessories.I have the black leather version, but with two others color choices of blue and red, I want another.  I will probably get the red, as it would be easy to find if misplaced.  But I don't remember the last time I have seen a leather case in blue, so that is intriguing.  I guess it's all about your mood and style.The folds of the case are very creative.  Giving you many ways to view or utilize.  Whether you are just using to read books and mags, type email, or watching video.  There's a best way to do all without any hassle to get to your preferred position.  I trust the quality as it appears built to last, even if constantly folding in various positions.The magnet activation features are above and beyond expectations as well.  When you position to use the camera, for example, it automatically turns the camera on.  And of course goes on and off, or standby with each close.There is no obstruction to hookups and no interference in audio quality.  In fact, audio is improved due to redirection of stereo output.  It's much more than a case.  It's a mini entertainment system.Made by Amazon, so you know it is made correctly with the best options possible.  It may sound like a lot of money for a case, but once you waste your money on cheaper versions trying to find the right one, you would end up spending more.  If it is on sale (discount of list price) then grab it.  Not commonly on sale, so if it is, don't wait.
