This Covers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Good as a Stand Up Holder, Not So Good for Reading
This is a neat case in it's design - it securely holds your Kindle Fire HDX and, once you get used to the folds of the Origami pattern you can stand the HDX up on its side in landscape mode on a table or level surface: trying to prop it up on my bed, however, kept having it fall down as the surface isn't firm or flat enough to make the holder "hold."
When you do close the case / cover up, it will put your Fire HDX in sleep mode, and it wakes it up when you open the cover back up. The speakers are in the back of the Fire HDX, and one of my concerns with the HDX was the cover would muffle the sound: the designers put just a small amount of space between the cover and the speakers so the sound can get out and reverberate off the back of the cover and towards you as you are watching a video, etc.
If taking pictures is your thing, I will caution you this covers up the read-facing camera and the LED flash.
While the Origami feature is nice if you are into...
2. Fail. Going Back.
I don't like it. I don't feel that it fully protects my device like the Amazon case for my Kindle Fire HD does. The other case protects all of the edges and covers my device completely. This one does not. The device is exposed all the way around. If it were to drop, it wouldn't be protected as the other case protects the HD. It's also cumbersome to fold to use standing, and more so to even close it or open it as the flaps keep folding on each others magnet! Also, it's a shame that it doubles the weight of the HDX. The big draw of the HDX to me was the weight. Thirteen ounces! With this case, it is 24 ounces. That, combined with the fact that it doesn't even protect my $440 device, probably means it's going back. Too expensive to not protect my device fully. Too bad that it is so disappointing. I was looking forward to it. Now I have to find something else to protect my HDX.

Excellent with a few disappointments
I received my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"" and the matching Standing Leather Origami Case yesterday.
I order the red color and found it to be a deeper red than my computer screen rendered it. Like a burgundy or crimson, with just a tiny hint of purple.
1. Not like my Paperwhite cover. I expected this origami case to be just like the Amazon case that is made for my Kindle Paperwhite, but this one is significantly different. I hold my Paperwhite in its case as I would a book, which I find more comfortable than holding a naked tablet. The cover of this Origami case has "folds" that allow for super-easy setup into a stand. But this makes it very unlike a book. I have really grown attached to relying on my Paperwhite cover this way, and was expecting to read on my Fire the same way. Alas, I must resort to turning the cover all the way around to the back, the way you might a large paperback book.
2. Good protection. The cover is held closed by magnets. In the...
