Amazon - Standing Case for Kindle Fire HD 7" - Fuchsia

If you are considering a cheaper sleeve or case for your new Kindle Fire HD, don't bother. Saving an additional $20 is nothing compared to the quality and functionality that this case provides. It snaps in and lives securely in its mold and can be removed quite easily as well. The speakers are not obstructed whatsoever, so the sound is as great as without the case on. The Kindle is protected and you need not worry about scratches or bumps. The textured leather case is also very fingerprint/dirty hands forgiving. Ickyness just wipes off ever so easily. The sturdy case can be sat in portrait or landscape view with ease and functionality. The best part about this case is the fact that when you open it, the Kindle wakes immediately from it's slumber and when you close it, it returns to its state of power saving rest. This maintains the best possible battery life when not in use. It's a strong build and should last for quite a long time in most situations.

i bought this case the very instance i bought my kindle it was such a breeze to install it was just an easy snap on and leave it, i can tell u with confidence that this will protect from simple use but not hard use, two days ago i left my work and left my kindle on the hood of my car i know my mistake i was almost home until i realized this so i was upset that i lost my kindle; A couple days go buy and one of my friends finds my case on the road so i went back to check hoping that my kindle survived the fall sadly it didnt i found only my screen with everything else in pieces and hand no insurance but they couldnt identify that it was a kindle. long story short if u want top protection for your kindle go with otterbox or griffin cause if i had my kindle would have survived the impact of it falling of my car but if u want simple protection against dings and scratches then by all means buy this case but have a durable case for out of the house use.

I remember getting my first Kindle (now called the "Keyboard") and purchasing the case that Amazon offered for it. The case had metal pins in it which caused the unit to short out and was a major disaster. Well, they have now come 180 degrees with this case and created the first tablet case that I actually want to take the time to write a glowing review for. This case, for the Kindle Fire HD is truly amazing. It is as perfect as a case could be. It is a perfect fit; it is snug; it is thin; it is rugged. I am not exaggerating when I say that if it came down to purchasing a reader and I was undecided, this case would make me go with the Kindle Fire HD. It feels perfect in your hand, no snaps or zippers or velcro, yet it is nearly a dust-proof fit. Enough said for this case but it sets a new standard for tablet cases. Slip your Kindle Fire HD into one and you will see what I mean.

I considered purchasing a less expensive knock off (about $20 less) but decided to bite the bullet and go for the dedicated Kindle case. Very glad I did. My Kindle Fire fits hand in glove with this case. It's slim, trim and eliminates the worry of damaging an unprotected unit, especially the glass screen. Some of the knock offs don't allow you to charge the unit while in the case, but no worries here. The 'leather' case feels a bit unnatural at 1st but I soon got used to it and it can easily be wiped off to remove greasy hand prints caused by sunscreen, potato chips, etc. I have a minor concern about the spine of the case not holding up (tearing) over the long term, but after a month of heavy use, so far so good. Spend the extra $20 vs. a knock off & you'll be glad you did...every time you pick your Kindle up

The product does not fit a Kindle Fire HD 7" (and I verified with a tech first before I ordered that stated it would). The Kindle does not stay in the case at all. Standing isn't even an option. I checked most of the customer reviews before I ordered and am completely unsure what they are talking about when they say it is a good product. I am sure if there was a way to keep the Kindle in it, it would be a great product because the outside of the case does feel durable. However, the magnetic part doesn't even keep the case closed when nothing is in it, let alone when the Kindle was in it. I received this product 10 min ago and will be taking it into the store to return immediately.

OK, so it isn't all that ugly. It's just not pretty. I'm not a frilly kind of girl at all and I like things straight forward so in that regard this case gets high points with me. But I'm underwhelmed by the selection of colors. Please give us a wider range since the options for cases are so limited for the new kindle! I got the black because it was that, or purple. Other places have a better selection of color, but I was using a credit with bestbuy so there you have it. Black it is and it's timeless. That's what I tell myself. =) the origami feature works really well. very convenient. I wish kindle made more cases.

This case is the perfect fit for my kindle fire HD. Set up was simple as my kindle snapped right in. Such a perfect fit that the kindle will not slip out of the case…ever. i liked that my device turns on or off upon opening or closing the case cover. This case offers good protection for my kindle, better than the other cases in the store but i thought the price was a bit high. i did not like that it slipped every time i tried to put it in the standing position but this was because my comfort angle was beyond the cases capability. this was not a deal breaker for me….it was simply annoying.

I had purchased a Gumdrop case for my son's Kindle FireHD however it was made for Kindle Fire (w/o the "HD"). Gumdrop cases have a tread pattern silicone back that looks really cool and feels good but there is no way to make the darned thing fit. So my husband and me went back to Best Buy and got his case and my son is very happy with it. That's really all that matters but I still like the Gumdrop cases better for looks. It's held up well. The Kindle snapped in at first and hasn't come loose (something I worried about). Our son likes the stand function and uses his Kindle daily. I am happy with this purchase, overall.
