This Covers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Nice idea but doesn't work well
The idea of a folding support stand for the Kindle Fire 7" HDX is clever but it doesn't work all that well. The foldable side is too flexible and flops around when you try to open it. I often read on my kindle while lying on my side and using a finger in between the folded back cover to support it but it doesn't work with this setup. This may work for some people but not for me and I'll have to hope that Amazon comes out with an unfoldable one like it has for the Kindle Fire 7" HD.

2. Neat Cover but a Little Pricey for What You Get
This is a pretty neat case - 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 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.

While the Origami feature is nice if you are into standing your Fire up, it is a little flimsy for me for when I am reading: I like holding the cover like a traditional book, and having a...

Ok Case
This is an OK case. Personally I do not like the front cover of this case very well. The problem stems from the fact that when I am using the Kindle, and holding it in one hand, I usually have my thumb on the front of the device on the border, my index finger between the back of the cover and the front of the cover over that finger and then use my other 3 fingers to press front cover against my index finger, which, to me, makes it easier to hold the device in my hand, and make it feel like I got a good grip on it.

However, the front of the cover's design is to flexible and it flops around when I hold it like this. It might make the case easier to prop up when using it on a table for viewing a video or browsing the web, but for me, when holding it, the design is not very friendly. I hope an alternate design comes out that will have a more rigid front cover.

Occasionally, when reading, the Kindle will suddenly go to sleep like the cover was...
