Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just got this case to replace another that did not work out. I am really pleased with this one. Out of the package, the odor is very slight. Unlike my previous case, the charger opening is not blocked and I am pleased that the camera lens and the screen edges will not be covered even if the Kindle shifts. The tab that wraps under the Kindle includes Velcro, so even that is not likely to be a problem. This is the first tablet case I have had where there is a strap to slide your hand under. Thoughtfully designed, this strap is lined to one edge, which allows for a separate area for papers etc. Handy. A previous owner mentioned a problem with "slippage", and I agree. However, I think that the reason that this is so noticeable out of the box reflects the manufacturing choice to make the "binding" edge soft. With most cases, this is stiffened with cardboard that bends and weakens with use. Then it gets soft and weak and the tablet slides down anyway. With this case, the flexible binding edge flattens in your hand, which provides a narrow profile in your hand. I prefer it this way, especially since you do have the band to help out. I don't know if this is really leather, but at least it looks like it MIGHT be! I don't know how you could do better on a case, especially at this low price. Good deal!
