Review: An okay case

This is a well-constructed case, has a nice slim profile, a refined, unobtrusive design, and protects my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" very well. While other reviewers note that it adds a lot of weight to the Kindle, I haven't noticed that - in fact I think it is relatively lightweight compared to some of the other, more protective,  cases on the market. I carry my Kindle around in my tote bag all the time and I haven't noticed that it seems any heavier than usual. The opens easily and when it is closed, it is closed tightly.HOWEVER. I find that the stand feature only works reliably in portrait (vertical) mode. I've tried using it horizontally but the case kept collapsing. I also find it rather difficult to slide the Kindle up to use the camera function. I had to remove my device from the case to take a photo, but perhaps I just need more practice on that. I also wish it came in more colors...
