I bought this case with my Kindle Fire about 3 weeks ago. Since I can be a bit of a klutz, I was more concerned with glass protection, instead of a case more like a book cover. This case does a good job on that front. The Fire clipped in easily and is securely held in place. And it's not bulky.Looks very nice, too. I got the red one & it's a nice pure red shade, with black trim and zipper pulls.The double zipper is handy - you can keep the case almost completely closed and still have the Fire plugged in for a recharge. It's still a little stiff when folding the cover back, but the strap for the hand works good - it's a comfortable way to hold the Fire, especially given it's extra weight over the other Kindles. Plus it's faced with a soft suede-like material, so when the case is closed, that soft material is up against the glass.Only downside - the pocket on the front is very small; just big enough for a screen cleaning cloth or something similar. But not much else. I have a stylus on order - not sure if it'll fit in there. I'll update this when it comes.11/07/2012 UPDATE: Nope, the stylus won't fit in the pocket. I put it in along the side of the Kindle & pull the zipper over it. That works fine.Otherwise I'm still happy with the case. I travel a lot & the kindle gets bounced around quite a bit. This case protects it just fine. I'd buy another one if I needed to.2/05/2014 UPDATE: I've had this case for over a year now & it still looks new. My kindle is extremely well-traveled and this case just takes it in stride. Definitely worth the cost.
