This Covers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Not horrible, but far from perfect...
Is the case sturdy?
It is. The quality and built of the case is right on the money. It does not feel or look cheap, quite the opposite, I find this case to be aesthetically pleasing.
Does this add a significant amount of weight to the kindle?
YES! This will more than double the weight - do not get this case if one of the things you admire about the kindle is its light weight.
Does the camera app go on automatically if you slide up the kindle?
Yes (with some exceptions). Unless your kindle is locked (with a password), or you are within [some] app, the camera starts up when you slide the unit up.
Does the case block any buttons or ports?
The power port and headphone jack are always and easily accessible. When the cover is in origami 'stand' mode, the volume and power buttons are also accessible, HOWEVER, when you flip back the cover flat against the back of the Kindle (for example, when you want to hold it in...
2. Works as advertised
The case works as advertised but DAYUM is it heavy! The case plus the HDX 8.9 feels just as heavy as a 4th generation iPad (wish I traded in because of the weight of the device alone).
I use the case for viewing movies and youtube (via the free SuperTube app) and streaming music through bluetooth, but when I'm reading a magazine or book, or surfing the net or checking email, I pop it out of the case and just hold the tablet...my wrist (and my face) thanks me (I dropped the tablet on my face while in bed).
If they are available in a big box store near you, I suggest you go and see what they feel like together PRIOR to purchasing. I'm okay with it because it was a gift and I just really appreciated the gesture of a co-worker...but if this was my money, I'd want something lighter that I kept on all the time.
Need more appointment... ?
are you kidding
The video for this cover is in flash?? So you cant watch it on a kindle because amazon tells us no one uses FLASH ANYMORE. The case it self is to heavy, why make the tablet light then give it a heavy case. Hopefully a lighter case will come along soon. The case for the 8.9 HD was lighter and functional without all the folding nonsense. How about a redo Amazon, just copy the older case. And lower the price. So I can dump this turkey
