The inside is made from a soft fabric which should keep the screen safe. After the first day I had to give the screen a wipe as it was covered in \u201cfluff\u201d but after that is was fine so I\u2019d put that down to it being new.<\/p>\n<p>All of this doesn\u2019t add too much bulk to the overall size of the Kindle either which can only be a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>There is a strap that clips onto the front to keep the case closed when it\u2019s not in use.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andyparkes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/WP_000409.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; margin: 7px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Case Close\" alt=\"Case Closed\" src=\"https:\/\/andyparkes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/WP_000409_thumb.jpg\" width=\"258\" height=\"342\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In terms of features?<\/p>\n<p>The bottom straps are fixed so it holds the device in place pretty firmly so there is no danger of it dropping out. The elasticated  straps at the top make it easy to put in and out.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a large elastic strap to slide your hand into when the case is open and folded around the back to give that extra bit of grip when you\u2019re holding the Kindle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andyparkes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/WP_000410.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; margin: 7px 12px 7px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Case Open\" alt=\"Case Open\" src=\"https:\/\/andyparkes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/WP_000410_thumb.jpg\" width=\"546\" height=\"410\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also clip the front cover into a slot on the back which turns the case into a stand for hands free reading! A quick change in device settings to rotate the screen obviously helps here. You do have to be careful not to make it topple over but it\u2019s a nice touch and could be useful on long train journeys.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andyparkes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/WP_000411.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; margin: 7px 12px 7px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Stand Front View\" alt=\"Stand Front View\" src=\"https:\/\/andyparkes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/WP_000411_thumb.jpg\" width=\"575\" height=\"416\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andyparkes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/WP_000412.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; margin: 7px 12px 7px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Stand Rear View\" alt=\"Stand Rear View\" src=\"https:\/\/andyparkes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/WP_000412_thumb.jpg\" width=\"573\" height=\"361\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Overall it\u2019s a decent case.
