This cover by Belkin for the 7" All New Kindle Fire HD is trim protection without adding much bulk. It's basically made in two parts - a molded rigid plastic case which snaps securely onto the back of your Fire and a blue chambray fabric faced front cover with a blue grey, faux leather spine that kind of resembles a hard bound book. The chambray cover is lined in a pale grey, velvety, faux suede that will protect your screen from scratches and abrasions. It also features an integrated elastic band which holds the cover closed securely when transporting your Kindle.The cover is designed to be folded in such a way as to act as a stand for hands-free watching of movies and videos in a landscape position. It can be adjusted to 3 different viewing angles and works very well.The molded plastic case which accepts your Kindle Fire has perfectly placed cut outs for easy access to the charging port, head phone jack, power button, volume controls, etc. Once you snap your Kindle into the plastic case, it's held perfectly and I haven't had any issues with my Fire popping out of the case.So you won't get the level of protection you will get with and Otterbox type cover, but you aren't paying that kind of price, either. This cover definitely adds substantial protection from scrapes and bumps and minor drops. Add a screen protector and your Kindle Fire will remain in like-new condition.
