◆ Kindle special case ORIGAMI I tried to cover
Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Since we purchased ORIGAMI cover which is a special case together, try installing it.


At first glance it seems to be the same cover, but the left is synthetic leather cover ORIGAMI, right is ORIGAMI cover made of genuine leather, one with synthetic leather which is relatively smooth on the case surface. The material is different but the structure is exactly the same.


The synthetic leather weighs 314 grams.


Genuine leather cover weighs 313 grams. The weight of Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is 369 grams, and attention is necessary because it becomes heavy at once when installing the ORIGAMI cover.


This is ORIGAMI cover of leather.


Paccari.


The cover is made quite solidly.


There is no worry of hurting the display because the brushed material with short hair is used on the back of the lid part.


Just place it on the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 cover when wearing it is OK. Because the magnet is contained in the cover, it will fix the main body and it.


When I close the lid like this.


Paccari. The display of Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 will be turned on automatically when opening the lid.


back


Volume control button.


Power button


Since the left and right side parts are not covered, it is so that the main body can be charged and the earphone can be used with the cover attached.



There are no holes for the camera on the back of the cover, so when you use the camera from the state with the cover attached you need a little action.


That action is to slide upward while attaching Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 to the ORIGAMI cover.


The camera will start up. Since the magnet in the cover holds the main body, there is no possibility that the cover will be removed even in this state.


You can check how the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 camera is started with the ORIGAMI cover attached in the following movie.

Hold the lid part of the ORIGAMI cover ......


Fold in like folding the middle in front.


Then I was able to use the lid part as a stand.



The folded part is fixed with magnets, and it supports the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 firmly even if it is placed vertically.


You can see the situation using the ORIGAMI cover which is the original case dedicated to Kindle from the following movie.

Using this stand makes it possible to operate without having the terminal in hand, so it seems to be useful for long-time use.


◆ Stylus pen
I purchased this with a bonusIncipio's stylus pen.


The pen tip is made of soft conductive rubber.


When you have it in hand it is about this size.


It weighs just 10 grams.
