This is an excellent case for the Kindle Fire HD 8.9".  It's really fantastic.This case provides great protection for your Kindle.  The cover protects the screen from scratches and the hard shell plastic holder protects it from minor impacts.  It's really a great way to protect the device.The quality of the leather (let's just call it leather, OK?) on the outside is really nice and resists stains and marking very well.  The inside suede (suede-ish) is very soft and gentle on the screen.  It's attractive and feels good when you hold it.The front cover flips back completely for when you're holding the Kindle in your hand.  The flap holding the cover on doesn't resist being folded back that way, and it closes back normally just fine when you close it.The swivel mechanism is fantastic.  It freely swivels the Kindle 360* (or even around and around) without any limitations.  This makes it possible to stand the Kindle up and use it hands-free in either portrait or landscape position. Two of the edges (one long edge and one short edge) have small plastic tongues that slip into the slot on the inside of the front cover.  Use this to stand the Kindle in one of the three slots to adjust the tilt.  This is great for reading or viewing videos--I wouldn't recommend using it for games or anything where you are swiping the screen a lot (or entering text).  For typing or swiping, it works better to hold the device in your hands or lay it flat on the tabletop.The only thing I wish this cover had is a little pocket for holding notes or hotel room keys.  That's a small complaint though.I love this cover and highly recommend it.
