I was concerned because we were getting the kindle as a gift from someone else, so they had the kindle and we ordered the case.  When it came it said it was for the HDX, which is not what the person had purchased--it was just a regular new kindle fire HD.  I called amazon and the guy told me it wouldn't fit this kindle so he overnighted a new one.  Opened the box, IT'S THE SAME CASE.  Finally met up with the person who had the kindle and it does fit.  Sometimes the on/off button takes a try or two, might not be lined up perfectly, but I wanted a case that completely enclosed the kindle as it is for our son.  His therapist has an otterbox for her ipad and recommended this one.  Honestly, I didn't have many options, and nothing at a reasonable price so I went with this one.  I found the kindle under a leaking sippy cup of milk the other day and the case protected the kindle perfectly.  Easy to clean, survives drops on the tile and hardwood.  It's frustrating that the case is nearly half the cost of the device, but honestly, it has probably saved his kindle at least once already, so it has probably paid for itself.
