This is the best case available at the best price !
I get the Kindle Fire on the day of release as promised. It is rugged but I needed a case because I found it hard to hold it and read in bed particularly. I had to order the form fitting Polycarbonate case and then cancel that order. Amazon had that case strangely back ordered for 15 days or so (I did read some unresonable reviews but I needed some case to be even able to use the Kindle Fire!). Here is the most important reason you want to buy this :- This case reverses and the elastic palm pouch is a great way to hold it with the zipper being reversed once the case is folded back on itself. I could read and use my kindle Fire with out any problem and holding it became a breeze. The other Marware cases that I had my friend order has much to be desired. The leather case that they sell is too heavy though nicer(what is the point of having such extra form factor on a compact kindle !). This is the best case since it seems water proof and perhaps will give some decent protection to the fire.
I must say that the Fire is very sleek but a bit heavy to hold up and very slippery. I have an IPAD and I cannot really read in bed or in other positions unless I am placing it on a table or my lap with a stand. Well with a kindle and a good case like this you can read !. Not possible with an IPAD (The IPAD is great otherwise but I think they will co-exist at least for me for diffrent reasons !). Kudos Amazon !
