Back before Christmas I splurged and got a 7" Fire HD tablet for half price including tax. At the time I didn't have the funds to also get a cover but I knew I wanted one, to keep my investment safe. Recently I bought one and I included it in my Sunday Book Share post. It generated a lot of interest so I thought I'd do a review of it.
The model I ordered was the Amazon Kindle Fire HD Standing Polyurethane Origami Case* in purple for the new 7" Fire HD so let me start with the fit. It's a very snug fit and I had some trouble getting my Fire to fit in it. Besides being a tight fit, I was working with an injured hand and I think that contributed to my difficulties getting the cover on. Since it is such a tight fit, if you anticipate removing your tablet on a regular basis, this might not be the best style for you. The cover is also available for the larger, 8.9" Fire HD* and both sizes are available in leather* or polyurethane in different colors. I opted for the poly as it's cheaper and should be easy to keep clean. When the case is closed the Fire is completely covered except for the ports for the charger and the earphones. The case uses magnets to seal closed and so far it has not opened accidentally.
