Marware makes a number of cases for various mobile devices. I already have a Marware Microshell for my 7" Kindle Fire. I have been using that case for about one year and the Fire still looks brand new.  This review is for the Marware Revolve Portrait and Landscape Standing Case for Kindle Fire HD 8.9". I have been using this case since I got the Fire HD 8.9" in late November, and I can honestly say that this case brings protection to a whole new level.Made of leather, and lined with a soft microfiber interior, the Revolve has much more padding than the Microshell. The case rotates 180 degrees and gives you three viewing angles in either portrait or landscape position. A hand strap on the inside of the case gives you the option of using the Kindle with one hand (useful when standing in a train or bus) and the lid automatically powers the unit on when it is in sleep mode.The Fire HD 8.9" snaps tightly into the plastic shell and the case also has a strap that holds the case open or closed. I'm not sure "which way is up" for the Kindle Fire HD 8.9", but when you insert the Fire into the case, make sure the micro HDMI and charging ports are on the outside and the speaker grills are exposed in the back.  Of course, since you can rotate the Kindle, you can always flip it around to access the HDMI or charging ports.I like the Revolve a lot. Although not inexpensive, the Fire is not cheap either, and the Revolve offers a lot of protection (good if you take your Kindle to work or on vacation). I like the watch movies on the Fire 8.9", and having the option of various viewing angles is also very useful. Highly recommended!
