This Amazon cover for the Fire 8.9 is a pleasure to have and review.  I had previously bought another manufacturer's cover on Amazon for my 8.9 Fire and have regretted it ever since receiving and trying to get it to fit in accordance with the Fire design.On the other hand, this cover made by Amazon for its own product is outstanding.  It fits exactly, and I mean exactly.  All the Fire buttons are easily accessible.  It looks great.  It opens from the correct side.  There is no obstruction to either the camera or any buttons.  It turns the fire off and on by closing and opening the cover.  And, it very easily allows the Fire to sit open at an A Frame angle if one desires.  With only one exception, all of these points were failures of the other cover I had first purchased by another manufacturer for this 8.9 Fire.I had a similar experience, by the way, with covers for my Kindle reader.  I had first bought another provider's cover, which I soon regretted due to the difficulty of using the control buttons.  Then when I bought the Amazon's own cover I found the fundamental differences in cover designs.  I obviously did not learn, and made a similar error with the Fire.I thoroughly recommend this Amazon cover for your 8.9 Fire.  I'll tell you couple of specifics about that other cover, which I'm not naming.  It is designed upside down.  Impossible?  No.  They managed to make it upside down, unless you want the camera to be covered up entirely.  Another point, it is Hell trying to get the back cover folded and inserted into a slot in order to try and get it to stand up on a surface.  It's such a struggle that your fingers can't help but touch the screen, which of course causes the current image to take off in an unwanted direction.  And, so on and on.Save yourself some grief.  Just get this Amazon cover and be done with it.
