I got this Kindle Fire case for the newKindle Fire HDX 7", HDX Display, Wi-Fi, 16 GB - Includes Special Offers. Please note that this case will not fit theKindle Fire (1st Generation)orKindle Fire (Previous Generation) - Includes Special Offers.This was a nice metallic gold color that stands out in my purse with all of the other things I have crammed in there. Also there are some very nice slots to put credit cards, tickets, and pens. Since I travel a lot this was a great case to have that allowed me to use it as a big planner.The only reason why I gave this case 3.5 stars is that though the case is designed to allow you to slip your Kindle off and on the interior case inside. However, the interior case was a bit tight and the buttons you were supposed to push to easily release the Kindle did not want to let go of my Kindle once I popped it in. The buttons that I was pushing on which were black rubbed off on my fingers. I had no idea that my fingers were even black when I rubbed my face and went to a meeting looking like I had been playing in soot. I was not happy at all.Additionally, the zipper was a bit too snug against the case. When I zipped my Kindle up I was unable to zip it back down. The zipper got stuck on the sides of the case and I had to use a pen and slowly draw the zipper down. After that I just kept the case halfway zipped.Finally, this case scratches very easily. After using it for the past couple of days I already see several scratches and dents in the case which stand out all the more because of the metallic gold color.
