This is a surprisingly beautiful case with mini magenta dots set against a dark navy blue background.  Inside a solid, plush complimentary magenta material will definitely add protection to any device you decide to carry.  Mind you this case is meant for a Kindle Fire HD 8", which fits perfectly, but also can be used to house an iPad Mini, a Kindle, or even a Nook.  This is a tablet specific case, but can be used to carry several different types of devices with ease.  Other devices won't be held as securely, but rather will be simply housed in a nice case.  The top is slightly wider than the body at 7" ( 17.78 cm), something that makes it easier to reach in to remove the Kindle Fire.FEATURES:~  Tapered design that secures the Kindle Fire HD 8", ensuring it doesn't fall out.~  The grips on the bottom of the case make it easy to insert or remove your device.~  The soft, plush interior keeps the screen from being scratched.~  An ergonomic design makes it easy to hold.~  The case is TSA-friendly and easy to travel with.~  It's very easy to charge the Kindle Fire or other device while it's in the sleeve.~  The lightweight neoprene design keeps storage from becoming bulky.DIMENSIONS:~  6 3/4" x 11" (17.145 x 27.94 cm)~  7" (17.78 cm) at the top edgeThis does have some stretch to it and the dimensions change when your device is inserted in the sleeve.The lightweight neoprene is a nice material, but isn't waterproof.  I always like to test anything I will be carrying media material in for water resistance. I placed it under the faucet, gave it a quick once over and found that it absorbed quite a bit of water.  It did dry quickly, but unless you're in a deluge, this probably won't matter.  I'll be using my Built case inside, but the case does fit easily in a bag for easy transport.  This case is perfect for traveling as any device used is well-protected when not in use and easy to access when you need it.  This Built case is not only attractive, but very functional.
