When my Kindle Fire V1.0 died recently I was devastated..until the HDX arrived at my door a few days later - then I fell in love again! The only problem was that the Fire case I had didn't fit the HDX. The previous case I used was nice, but I was looking for something a little more sturdy, as I'm always nervous that I'm going to drop the Kindle...or that my husband will get all excited when he wins a game of Bloons on the HDX and will accidentally throw the Kindle across the room.The OtterBox case for the Kindle Fire HDX is the most amazing case I've ever seen - seriously! My previous case did not have a screen protector, so I was always very careful with what I did with the screen as I HATE scratched screen. The fact that this has a screen built in, so that you can easily protect your Kindle screen, is perfection!!PROS:- Case goes on fairly easy. You do have to maneuver the silicon back piece a bit to unwedge it, but once you get it loose it slips right of.- Completely coverage! The fact that you not only have a screen cover, but also that there is an additional plastic cover that is designed to protect the Kindle during travel is fantastic!- It stands up the Kindle! I never realized how much I'd use that feature until I finally had a case that allows it. I have it on that thing all the time now!- You can easily remove the Kindle! I've seen cases before that almost seem to superglue to the Kindle or smartphone. This case is easy to take on and off (it probably takes me about 2 minutes to fully remove the Kindle)CONS:-Dust. I hate dust on my screen, so I made sure to wipe down my Kindle, and the inside of the plastic case, with a microfiber cloth before installing the Kindle. It can take a bit if you're like me and very specific about not wanting any dust or hair inside of the Kindle.-The weight. Others have discussed the added weight this cover adds to the Kindle, but I don't see it as a problem. While there is a bit more weight on it (extra if you leave the cover on the back, which I never do), the fact that the case is angled the way it is, which makes it easier for someone with small hands to grip it better (as I have), more than makes up for the little bit of extra weight. Besides, we all need stronger arm muscles, right??This case has seriously ruined me for all other cases. I could no longer sit by and have a simple case that opens like a book - from now on any Kindle I have will be placed in a Defender! LOVE IT!
