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 though I used my HDX frequently over several days with the cover folded back. I also read that some were experiencing floppiness with their covers. I have not experienced that particular issue yet. I have used the cover as a stand in both landscape and portrait modes and it was quite sturdy, even when I used the touch screen. I can only say that I have been very happy with my Origami case and would highly recommend it. I have noticed there are some other cases out there that are cheaper, but they either can't be used as a stand, or in portrait mode, or their reviews don't instill me with a desire to try them.

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 it.
4. BUTTONS - Has embedded volume +/- and power buttons that sit on top of the device buttons. Easy to operate through these rubberized buttons.
5. ACCESS - Convenient access to charging port as well as the headphone jack. Speakers are covered but there is enough of a gap to keep sound quality intact. I tested sound quality with and without the case, there seemed to be no degradation.
6. STANDS - Stands work in various positions. I care only about three - portrait, landscape for videos (steeper angle), and landscape for typing (lower angle). The magnets engage all three stands securely.
CONs
1. STANDS TAKE GETTING USED TO - The stands and folding mechanisms take some getting used to. I looked at the product pictures here several times to fold the case the correct way. Now after a few attempts, it's easier to engage the stand.
2. PROTECTION - The left side of the case feels a little unprotected initially. But looking at it closely, the edges are protected by the back of the case as well as the front flap. This raised part seems like a deliberate design to service two purposes - keep speakers open and not muffle the sound with the back shell, and give access to the headphone jack on top and charging port at the bottom.
Overall I am pleased with this case. I also got the $20 Marware case as a cheaper alternative. I like that one too but I think I will mostly be using this Oragami case because it looks and functions better.
-------
UPDATE - I just noticed that there was a leaflet included with the case packaging that displays a quick three-step process to fold the stand. I wish I had seen it earlier, I wouldn't have had to repeatedly look at online pictures here. Remember to keep this leaflet for the first few days, it comes handy.

I really wanted to like this, but I think it's just a faulty design. Whenever I folded it back, as for reading, it repeatedly put the Kindle to sleep. I returned it, got a replacement, and five seconds later my Kindle was off to dreamland again. I'm done; it's going back.
I think if they had described this as simply a STAND, they might have been on to something. Alas, I want a case.
