Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have the old marware case for the old kindle fire. It was a great case. This too, is a great case. Their last case also broke the bank a little, but this one was just right. Pros -Looks nice, didn't realize it from the pictures, but there's a faux wood texture to the cover. I like it, it also seems to help with the table grip. The colors are very deep as well. Orange is... very orange. -Fits SNUG. The bracket that holds your precious grabs with very little, but it GRABS TIGHT. It's possibly more difficult to get out than the last case. I recommend the technique in the manual, my first attempt wasn't working. -Leans at any angle. Just like the last you can adjust the angle of the screen to your heart's content. The bending and creasing is a non-issue if you undo the snap. It's engineered to only crease in one spot and sits on a non-slip surface inside the cover. Takes some considerable table shake for it to slip. -Build quality seems identical to the last so it ought to be quite DURABLE. I drop things... alot... usually on cement, so I was quite pleased with the last case, and looking forward to being pleased with this one. Cons - No inside cover strap like the last one had. Admittedly though, the 8.9" is pretty huge in hand and I fairly sure it would've been awkward anyways. - POSSIBLE CON: The bracket is made of hard plastic, my concern is if I drop it, is that corner going to shatter. For me that's not if, but when I'll drop it. The last case had leather over metal(?) and has saved me many a times. I'll keep you posted. I'm not too concerned though, the plastic is one of those fancy resins ("One word: Plastics!") that feels kinda like metal, and besides, if you were making a protective case for an expensive electronic, I think the first thing you would test would be dropping it. Maybe I'd be concerned if it was a new company, but they've been around the block before. So until I drop this and break the plastic corner (which I'm just not willing to do on purpose for you fine folks), an awkward handstrap is small price to pay for a vastly improved price. 5 STARS. Feel free to comment with questions and I'll try to answer them. I will not however respond to you if you're just complaining about how I mentioned price. Quality/Price = Value. EDIT: Hot Dog, I just noticed it wakes my kindle when I open the case.
