Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ordered this case and a similar one by RooCase. The requirements that I had for a Kindle Fire case are as follows. First, I wanted it to be able to rotate between landscape and portrait mode. I also wanted the device to be able to detach from the stand while still being protected in its own case. And lastly, I really wanted a purple case. While both cases fulfilled these needs, I decided to keep this one. It rotates between landscape and portrait mode by a snap. It is this snap that allows for the Kindle to detach from the stand (for when you want to just hold the device in your hands without the stand - like reading in bed or something) . The RooCase attaches with Velcro. This seems ok, but I thought that in time it may wear out. And to be honest, I didn't care for the sound that Velcro makes when detaching and repositioning the Kindle, especially while quietly reading in bed while my boyfriend is sleeping. The RooCase's ridges for keeping the Kindle Fire upright in either landscape or portrait mode are not very sturdy. They are more like "speedbumps" compared to this case's (Poetic) actual deep grooves in the stand for the unit to stay in. In addition, this case stays securely closed with an elastic strap. The RooCase had magnetic closure, which I didn't feel at all! And I want to be sure my case stays closed when shuffling around in my bag. The RooCase's purple is much prettier than the Poetic, but I thought function and quality wins over color. So I'm sending the RooCase back. I this helps you. I wish I'd had this comparison before I purchased.
