With a combined Kindle + case weight of approx. 1 lb. 12 oz., this is the lightest Kindle Fire HD case I've used. It's also the slimmest.Description:~Lightweight & slim, sleep/wake case; cut-outs for the speakers; magnets hold the case closed.~The Fire HD is easily fastened in & removed from the case.~The Fire HD can be charged with the case closed.~Cut-outs for the Kindle Fire HD's exceptional speakers.~The front of the case is lightly padded.~Both the front  & the back of the case are covered with a thin layer of leather. The front cover is lightly padded, the back cover is hard plastic.~The outside & inside of the case are fairly smooth so it's a little harder to grip than other cases I've used.~Adjustable stand works in landscape position, but the angles are limited because the case begins slipping if it's angled too much.~Fuschia color is tasteful & not too bright.I prefer using a case that holds my device in place with a leather frame,  closes with an elastic band, and has a hand hold. However, all these features add to the weight of the case. The 8.9" Fire HD is heavy, using a lightweight case with it makes it less tiring for me & puts less stress on my hands.If you're looking for a lightweight case, I recommend this one.
