i can understand some of the frustration people may have with the case and it standing while typing, as i've had problems with it sliding down into the flat position. but i've personally found only one surface that truly has a problem with the "A/landscape" standing position and that is the ceramic table tops at Chili's restaurant :)!!! they are extremely slick, almost as if they have wax on them. in every other situation the case performs exactly as i need. when lying in bed and reading, i have placed it flat on a pillow, fallen asleep and woke up with it where i placed it. i have spent hours reading while holding the kindle and never experienced "holding" fatigue due to weight or thickness issues. as for typing, i prefer to lie it flat so that isn't a problem for me. my favorite thing about the cover is that it's lightweight and has full protection. i think part of the protection factor is that the case's surface isn't completely smooth which provides a greater grip and thus i've never dropped it and the fact that case completely surrounds the Kindle without straps by simply snapping it into the case. the surrounding rubber edge also provides me with carrying grip surface and i don't even have to think about it when i pick it up..Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Standing Leather Case, Persimmon (will only fit Kindle Fire HD 8.9")the case i have with my Kindle 3rd generation is not an amazon product and i love it as well. but i have a double protection system on that Kindle consisting of a leather case surrounding it and a zippered pouch to store it in because the leather is very smooth and easy to slip. i am so much more pleased with the ease and use of the case i'm using with the Kindle Fire which only requires me to flip open and read or whatever i'm doing. the price didn't bother me for the product and end results i received.
