I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this case considering the bargain (under $20) price.The kindle slips easily into the case yet once it's in place it's a nice secure fit with no slipping or movement.  The openings allow full functionality of the device.  The inside of the cover flap is lined with felt to protect the kindle screen from scratching and smudging and you can adjust the stand so that the device is elevated for typing or angled for viewing.The old adage "you get what you pay for" applies here too.  While you can adjust the case so that it sits upright in landscape mode, it's rather awkward to do so.  You have to fit the edge of the case into a little plastic clip.  No big deal, but it's usually a two-handed process.  And while the case is held shut with a magnetic closure, I've found that it easily falls open.  You're not going to lose your kindle, but I can see this easily opening up and exposing the screen to scratches if you just casually toss into a purse or backpack.Bottom Line:  If you're looking for an economical, no-frills case that offers a bit of protection then I would recommend this.  If you often tote your device around you might want something that offers a bit more heavy-duty protection.  Want a case with all the bells and whistles?  This isn't it; you'll pay a whole lot more than $20.00 for one of those.
