This Covers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great Case for my Kindle HDX!
I received my case before receiving my HDX, but I was immediately impressed with the color, quality, and brilliance of the whole magnet system. It does not feel cheap to me in any way. I have since received my HDX and have had several days to try it out with the Origami case. On the first day, I did have issues with it putting my device to sleep when I would fold the cover all the way back, so I can see how this would be a severe problem. However, I had read in one of the earliest reviews that the reviewer had eliminated this issue by setting the timeout feature (where it causes your lock screen to come on if no activity is detected within a certain amount of time) to NEVER. I realize that this would not be acceptable to those of you who want the screen to lock after a certain amount of inactivity, but in my case, I always close the cover if I am not going to use it for a bit anyway, so it doesn't matter to me personally. After doing this, I did not have that issue occur again, even...
2. Great concept and design, takes getting used to
I was looking forward to the Origami case given its unique design and ability to stand in vertical and horizontal positions. So far, I am pleased with it though still getting used to the folding mechanisms. It feels like a natural extension of the Fire HDX. Quick thoughts on the case so far:
PROs
1. DESIGN - Sleek design, adds very little bulk. The back is a plastic shell and the front is a polyurethane flap.
2. MAGNETS - Basic premise of the case is magnets. The device sticks to the case with magnets (stays secure), front flap folds all the way back (for one-handed reading) and stays in place with magnets, and the stands work with magnets.
3. SLEEP MODE - Closing the flap automatically triggers sleep mode on the device, opening it turns it back on. The Kindle doesn't make a sound when it locks under the flap. I'm still trying to figure out if there's a setting I can change to get the device to give me an audible that it locked. I guess I"m just used to...
Need more appointment... ?
Potential design flaws, and some Origami mastery for better sound...
**UPDATE** 11/12/2013
I had to return my first defective Origami cover to Amazon along with my HDX for analysis. I've received a replacement Origami in Purple and a replacement HDX, as well.
While my replacement Origami cover doesn't continually put my HDX to sleep while in use as the first (pink) one did, when it is folded back for reading, if it shifts slightly it will put my HDX to sleep. I am now of the opinion that this has strictly to do with magnet placement in the cover, the thinner design of the HDX, and when the front cover magnets align in just a certain orientation with those that hold the HDX in place on the back of the cover, it somehow signals the device that it should be sleeping.
For this reason, I have purchased another cover here on Amazon which seems to have great reviews (for the short time it has been released), so sadly my purple Origami will be parting company with my HDX tomorrow when the new cover arrives. So sad, because it...
