UPDATE:  Poetic slim now had the case for this one.  It can be bought here on amazon or on ebay.  It is around 14 bucks.  I use poetic slim on iPads and now my new hdx 8.9.For comparison it is almost like last years version of the official amazon case for the 8.9 inch kindle fire.  The main difference is that the poetic slim will fold to act as a stand.It has a magnet to be kept closed and turns the fire off when closed.This thing weighs more than the Fire!!!!!  I think this was developed in a committee meeting around 8 months ago.  Where around a conference table the committee decided to be REALLY creative and wow the customer.My guess is they had 10 people on the main committee and 2 design pros put together this wonderful sounding case.I mean you can't go wrong with Origami..... right???  I mean origami is cool and cutting edge.Ok so by now you know I hate this case.1.  It weighs more than the device it is supposed to protect.2.  Origami cases are of little use if you are sitting in a chair or reading in bed.3.  The fire will actually fall out of the case..... try it...but do it over padding.... if you jiggle the case you will discover why the case is so heavy.... magnets.... and those magnets will NOT hold the fire if you turn it upside down ....... try it.....4.  Why?5.  You have got to be kidding6.  fumble7.  oh just errrrrrrrrrrrr.Now for a bedtime story.Once upon a time a very powerful and wealthy man stood up in front of a group of interested tech people and talked about the wonders of the ebook.  He told the story of how some day soon we all could sit down with our ebook readers and it would just blend in and we would suddenly forget we were reading on a tech device.My guess is that someone forgot to run this one by that guy.  I can not imagine him saying.... Hey guys lets make a cool case that weights more than the device and gets all tangled up when you open it up to read.postscript.  This is well made and very sturdy if you forget about the fact that it is possible to have you fire tumble out of it.....  It is really high quality.so if Origami is your thing get it.
