Putting the 8.9" Kindle Fire in this case required a little extra "oomph" to get it in, but that's because the surrounding material is a little more dense and not flexible as it surrounds your Fire.  I think that is a good thing, as you want the material to be protecting your Fire in case of a drop, etc.  The Fire fits very snug, and you shouldn't have much apprehension in believing your Fire will be secure.This is a quality case and the leather feels good, and is well-padded all the way around which is an added protection layer to protect your Fire.  The cover closes tight, and I don't think you will have to worry about the cover flopping open at an inopportune time like you can with cheaper covers.Having the Fire stand up at an angle for better viewing of the screen, for videos as an example is pretty easy and there are three notches in the opposite end of the cover so you can choose / select the best viewing angle for whatever you may be doing.  The backing mechanism to the Fire itself is a little stiff on the swivel and only rotates 180 degrees vs. a full circle: I don't see that as a problem but thought I would mention it in case that was important to any of you.Overall, I think this is a quality case and will do a good job to protect your Fire.  It's a little pricier than other covers, but I think at the end of the day you want a quality product protecting your $500+ investment instead of scrimping a few bucks on something that may not do as good of a job.
