I like this OtterBox that I received from Amazon Vine. It fits the HDX really well and appears to be extremely sturdy. However, it adds a good amount of weight to the tablet, almost defeating all that engineering that got the HDX to be as light as it is. I think the OtterBox would be a great purchase if you're going to have kids use it; however, if you don't usually drop things and are careful, you can probably get away with a lighter case.Figuring out how to put the HDX in the OtterBox was a little confusing to me at first, but I eventually figured it out. The screen protector is a nice feature. I haven't used it a ton, so I don't know how it will hold up, but it appears to be very durable. The case itself looks like it will protect the HDX from anything.Overall, this case will definitely add more protection to your HDX. The only question is if the extra heft will make it worthwhile to you on a daily basis. It appears to do exactly what it intends to do by protecting the HDX. I haven't actually tested it out by dropping my HDX from different heights, though!
