actually the amazon case doesn't put any strain on the hinges when you fold the cover back, as the hinge is on the back cover not the spine of the cover, so when you fold back it does no harm, folds back really easy and the kindle stays firm where it is

Confirmed.
My cover is always folded back with no strain on the hinges.
Some take issue with the older hinge system and the damage that can be done by opening it backwards, but I've never had any trouble with mine. The times I have opened it backwards, the Kindle just flopped over to where it needed to be with no dramatic catastrophe.
Don't believe the hinge-hater hype. Unless you lend your Kindle to a brain-damaged gorilla... it will be just fine.
