I've been looking around since I got my Kindle for a case that also works as an easel-type stand. I ordered
this one and finally received it yesterday (it was backordered). I haven't had a lot of time to use it yet, but my first impressions are good. It seems very well made and holds the Kindle securely. It isn't locked into position in any way when it's in the stand formation, just propped against a raised ridge on the case, so it may not stay in place if used on an uneven or moving surface (like a lap
) but seems to be fine on a solid surface.
One word of warning though - the description says it works for the Kindle 2 and Kindle 3 (and nook), which concerned me a bit because I was afraid the fit on the K3 might be loose and sloppy. When I received the package, however, it just said K3 and nook, and it's a very good fit - but there's no way a K2 would fit in it, so if you're looking for a case to fit the K2 this one won't work.
ETA: I just compared the look of mine to the picture on the Best Buy page, and it looks like the only change they have made is to resize the bottom bracket so that it now fits the K3 properly.
