I got this in today. On inspection it feels nice. The bendy flap needed a little bit of bending to make it easier to put into place to work correctly as the intended kickstand.
This does stay well in place in portrait and landscape orientation. It offers ease of access to the side buttons and charge port. The flap is magnetic. I happened to not have a screen protector on my fire max 11 before hand.
Before I put the screen protector on I tried the magnetic screen part of the cover ..now, it was pretty secure, I wouldn't say I had to pry it off, but I did have to use a little force opening it. It's not bad though.
After I put a tempered glass screen protector on my screen it was still secure but it was a little less aggressive to pull off.
For one, I wish this wasn't so expensive since it's really just your basic book style cover. The viewing angle is mostly as if you're only intending to watch something and there's not much flexibility in varying degrees of setting the tablet.
If I were Amazon I would've opted for an adjustable kickstand flap backing like they used for the keyboard kit. Too bad you'd have to pay a lot more just to have that piece. A safer bet would've been if Amazon made a smart folio like apple made for their iPads. Amazon was halfway there with this cover, had they made the front part foldable and kept the magnetic backing or made it a tpu back it would've had a bit more versatility in viewing angles. Maybe it would be nice if they made a future fire 11 tablet with an integrated kickstand like the Microsoft surface hybrid laptop/tablet..
I'm plenty happy with this cover as a simple stand and protection from scratches in a bag. Good for watching things and reading. I do wish they had made a smart folio variation or sold the kickstand back separately. I also wish it weren't so pricey. But it gets the job done. At $50 it's expensive for this range of mobility/use I'd say at best this is worth half of that. Unfortunately, this won't be dropping in price that far anytime soon. I'd buy it again if I had to but at about $25/$30 at best. Realistically I feel that's what this cover should really cost.

It's not bad. But, Amazon could do better. At $50 it's overpriced.

Amazon did the right thing and let me return the cover. That being said, I wound up getting another of the same cover. Like I said, it feels like it just belongs with the tablet. I only hope this one doesn't wear as quickly.
It really is a nice, light cover. Great tactile feel. My only gripe with its function is that it does not lay in a position to type on the virtual keyboard. Otherwise, the cover works well in every other configuration.
It's a little pricey and my frugal side was hesitant about the purchase, but sometimes you need to splurge a little on yourself.

The cover looks great and feels like it belongs on the tablet. BUT I was highly disappointed to see it already coming apart, considering its price point.
This has gotten extremely light use, as it sits on my desk mostly and I rarely move it around.
Amazon could've done better considering how much they charge for this. And to add insult to injury, the return window has closed on it.
Do yourself a favor and spend less money on something that will probably wind up holding up better.
