Review: Difficult to figure out without the video instructions.

First, make SURE you have the correct Kindle Fire. This is for the 8.9 inch HD Kindle Fire only. No other Kindle or Kindle Fire will fit this case. Amazon's site has the best price; at least $20 less than Otterbox offers (at the time of this review) and free shipping if you check the correct box at checkout.I found no instructions on or inside the box. I tried to find instructions on the Otterbox site from the Kindle Fire HD device, but adobe would not download (for readable instructions). I did not think to go to YouTube. I had to get on my PC once I got to my home and pull up the YouTube video on the Otterbox Official site.There are NO magnetic closures. (Someone asked this in the Q&A; section 2 days ago on the Otterbox site and no answer has been given as yet.) The plate (screen cover/protector) looks to be made out of thin, hard plastic. There is a polycarbonate inner layer. All 4 sides and the back have silicone outer layer (flexible plastic, which peels off). Though the screen cover/protector is thick, I had no trouble with the touch screen.Once the hard cover is attached, the device resembles an iPad/iTablet or mini laptop. A stand is folded on the inside of this section. Simply take the two pieces apart, adjust the stand to a good height for typing or watching a video, and set the bottom cover (which houses the Kindle Fire 8.9 HD) on it.Hope this helps, so you do not get a headache as my husband and I did.Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
