This Cases give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Notch for Charging
Nice case - seems well constructed.
Stand works well in either orientation.
There is a notch on the side of the plastic insert that lines-up with the mini HDMI port. Good! I can leave the case on when connecting the Fire to my TV via HDMI.
However, there is not a notch for the power cord? In other words, to charge the Fire, you need to remove it from the case. Removing it from the case is not difficult but, why no notch for the power cord? I'm going to presume most people will charge the Fire much more often than hook it up to something else via the HDMI port.
2. Great case...if the holder was oriented correctly
UPDATE - Taking a star away now that I have had a few days to actually use this.
UPDATE - Just looked at the manufacturer's website. Apparently the reason for not making the charge ports accessible was to protect them from dirt and dust. All they had to do was make a flap that you could open to charge with the cover closed. It's done all the time on other cases like the Otterbox for phones.
Quality construction, but the plastic carrier for the Kindle is upside down and should be reversed so that you can close the case when charging. The hand strap pretty much assumes you are right-handed, although you can flip the Kindle and hold it the other way. I would prefer it if the hand strap was closer to the edge, but that's probably a personal preference since my hands are very small.
Everything but the charge port and micro HDMI port are available with the case closed. The charge port is also in the way if you want to set it up easel style to watch...
Need more appointment... ?
I hate this case.
The design issues that everyone else mentions are bad enough...but the biggest problem is that the inner plastic hard shell that holds the Kindle doesn't allow heat to dissipate. I queued up several albums to download, and the plastic shell trapped the battery heat, causing the Kindle to overheat and shut down. This is not a problem at all when the Kindle is not in the clutches of this case.
Do not buy this case!
