I like the idea of a kindle cover that doubles as a stand for easier, more comfortable reading but this cover was a fail because somehow it keeps turning the kindle on both as you open it and at times when you’re closing it so it kills the battery life of your kindle.  The inner hard plastic core securely sets your kindle in place and leaves the off/on switch accessible as well as the USB plug in even when the cover is closed.  It easily folds out for reading and can be set at almost infinite angles for comfort.  The tab that closes the cover is magnetized to keep your device from falling out and keeps it protected.  Ultimately, because you’re never sure if the cover has switched on your kindle when it’s in the closed position I can’t use it with peace of mind.  The odd thing is I don’t see anything that’s causing it to hit the on/off switch.  At first I thought the closer flap was the culprit but that doesn’t come into contact with the switch because it’s on the opposite side from it.  After experimenting with being hyper careful to make sure that nothing touches the switch it still turns on on closing.  Maybe it’s the magnets causing this malfunction?  Whatever the cause this cover is unusable except if you’re willing to switch your device into this cover for reading and take it out afterwards or you’re willing and able to keep it plugged in all the time to preserve the battery life.
