Review: It's good, but straps are distracting

I had the chance to try this out and the quality of the case is good, it feels like this will really hold up well. What  I don't care for with this case are the straps inside. From the product pictures on amazon you can see the blue  straps that go around the corners of the Kindle. While this is an ok method of securing it, I found the straps to be rather distracting. I would have preferred this case which says it's for the kindle and kindle paperwhite to be more specialized for these devices and actually allow the kindle to "snap" in like a lot of cases so you don't have these bright blue straps around each corner of your kindle. Even if they made a "frame" where you slide the kindle into I think that would have been better then these 4 corner straps. And I know I'm picking at the small details but I'll admit I get distracted easilyl and bright blue straps don't help.It's a good case, I just don't much care for the design used to hold the kindle. I've seen a number of other cases including the official kindle case which I have and the kindle snaps in, it is very seamless and compliments the kindle rather then looking like an afterthought. Case gets 3 stars, I like it, but I don't love it.
