I have a 3 yr old & I'm always afraid she'll get hold of the device when I'm not looking, open the case and accidentally knock it over face down. The slimmer retaining-tab-style cases look like they might not provide enough screen protection in this scenario, and if she were to actually drop it, I'm afraid that the impact might cause the device to pop out of the retaining tabs.

A retaining tab style case I bought for my mom's iPad 2 had this exact "problem" - in fact if you gripped the device one-handed from the edges, it literally worked itself out of the tabs.

For this reason, for my wife's new iPad as well as my mom's iPad 2, I bought the well-reviewed Yoobao iPad case sold by Xengadget. It's a slide in design with a leather 'frame' that surrounds the bezel completely and would (it seems to me at least) provide better screen protection than the retaining-tab-style cases in the even of a mishap.

For the Kindle Fire, I bought a Case Crown Bold Standby case from Amazon for around $11-12. Its design is very similar to the Yoobao iPad case, slide in with a leather frame that surrounds the bezel, and has a magnetic closure mechanism that works well to keep the lid closed.

http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Standby-Amazon-Kindle-Tablet/dp/B005TN0MMY/ref=pd_cp_e_2

It's probably slightly bulkier than the retaining-tab-style cases, but it seems that it would provide better protection in my particular application. The leather might not really be leather - it's somewhat stiff, but it fits the Fire very well and functions as advertised regarding the standing angles.

Overall I'm happy w/ the purchase.

[Edit: I was considering the Yoobao Kindle Fire case, but didn't want to spend $25 :) http://xengadget.com/products/224-yoobao-executive-leather-case-for-amazon-kindle-fire.aspx ]

I have been using a DoDo case for my KF ever since I bought it. It adds some bulk but is EXTREMELY quality, and I dont see myself buying any other case for it during its lifetime.

they are a bit expensive but totally worth it, saw a friend with one for his ipad and I fell in love. Also, when closed it looks like a book so it has some anti theft measures :)
[Kindle Fire Accessories] VortexJunior:
Otterbox! Really expensive but I have had Otterbox since the beginning, great quality! I don't have one yet for my Fire but I will... eventually...

Otterbox Defender

Is the Otterbox Defender the only Otterbox case being released for the kindle fire?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Trafford Devil:
I bought the M-Edge Incline case. It's pretty good and while it's not as expensive as other cases like otterbox or dodoskin it does a good job of protecting my kindle.

It's got a slit so I can prop the kindle up 45 degrees or just slightly elevated (like a keyboard).

Be aware though when you first get it, it comes with an awful leathery smell, but it wears off after a while.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] CobbFC09:
Yes.

I got a Seidio Royal Blue Multi-Purpose Stand Case. Looks good, I'll see when I get it.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Notrega:
I picked up a plain Belkin jacket at wall world. It is simple and thin.

I really like the Speck FitFolio but I like being able to stick a stylus inside the case and there isn't just enough room with the Speck :(

Best case

This is the best case for a kindle. And its about 10 bucks.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Treken:
Ha Ha, yeah it's a good one! It works good for my Taurus .45 Cal as well! ;)

I'm a fan of the Marware folio case. Protects the kindle and functions as a kickstand

[Kindle Fire Accessories] bilkal828:
I have this one. VERY STURDY and almost identical to the Marware case the cost 3x more! I picked mine up for under $15.

I'm new, so I can't post a "link".

Go to Amazon and search "Blurex Kindle Fire". It will pop right up.

I've Had The Otterbox For the Kindle Fire and I LOVE it, had it since it came out a few months ago!
[Kindle Fire Accessories] BoomerEvo:
I have the Sedio Active case for Kindle Fire, and I love it. The build in kick stand comes in handy at work for watching movies in landscape mode, or reading in the portrait mode.

And have dropped/rolled it once on concrete already. Few minor scratches on the corners, but the Kindle survived without a scratch or crack, and as far as I am concerned that alone made it pay for its self a few times over.

An excellent case that has three positions that it can be set when used as a stand. I have owned many and they are very durable, with interchangable elastic straps to keep the case shut.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] junkinmytrunk426:
i use and like this case as well, but does add some weight tho.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] CobbFC09:
Yeah, but that's the case with every case. I do love the feeling when I take the case off my Kindle and hold it. Feel so light.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] devveldogg:
I'm still looking for the perfect case. So far I like the rubber TPU Gel Silicone Skin Case. It's more ridged the the silicone rubber and fits like a glove.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] rocketman18:
I love the case

Kindle Fire MicroShell Folio Cover by Marware,

fits tight, corners protected, but don't get the white, it gets smudge up easily
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Jersey846:
Of course it all depends on what you are looking for, but after my 3rd case I decided to give the MoKo Slim Cover Case with Stand even though it's price was somewhat low compared to all the others. The price currently stands at $10 on Amazon. Do not let that dissuade you from giving this case a shot. I was beyond pleasantly surprised by the quality. Far surpassed more expensive cases I had bought that were $25-$40. This one is very sleek looking and does not look bulky. It does not guard the sides, but that is not what I was going for. I wanted something simple looking that I could also use as a stand. If you are looking for the most protection, this case isn't what you need. But if you want something clean, simple, that can also double as a stand, this one is by far the best I have found. And for what now costs $10 ($20 when I purchased), you can't go wrong.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] X_RATed:
I bought the OtterBox Defender for my Kindle Fire and I haven't regretted for a second, true that it adds bulk and weight to it, but after six months I'm used to it, and the level of protection (specially to the screen ) is awesome. It also comes with a stand.

I bought this product for my iPhone first, and the experience was incredible, so based on that experience I got it for my Kindle, then again no regrets.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Guitarman:
My wife ordered a couple Kindle cases off of eBay for $8 a piece. They are black folding ones that resemble a leather-like material. They are a good case in most aspects EXCEPT that they insulate the Kindle a little too good and that retains heat. I performed a test of the battery temp with th case on and with it off. If the battery temperature reading was accurate than there was a 10 degree Fahrenheit difference.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Geko45:
I've been using the Seidio Active case on my Kindle Fire and it has been great. It comes with a nifty snap on cover to protect the screen which also doubles as a stand. I once dropped my Fire from chest height onto concrete and this cover completely protected my Fire from any damage whatsoever. The case itself only suffered a barely noticeable scratch on one corner.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] jrollette:
This case looks great!
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Codewired:
hows the leather on that case? quality wise?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] thewood80:
I'm not a fan of folio style cases or others that are meant to stay on the device during use, so I went the route of getting a $5 7" tablet sleeve from five below and an Amazon Basics mini travel stand that folds up flat and fits in the front pocket of the sleeve. Good combo if you don't want to add bulk to the kindle.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] inducer:
This is mildly entertaining, since the KF's device "codename" in Android is "otter" for some reason.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] ssaaxx:
just dropped the leather case.

feels much thinner and lighter now.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Evant28:
Hey I would recommend this case its quite nice.

I can't post links yet but go to amazon and search eco-vue
[Kindle Fire Accessories] androidnooob98:
If you've got Buku cash get an Otterbox Defender or a Gumdrop case. The Gumdrop is the cheaper of the two by about twenty bucks depending on where you look.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drvsbsm:
TITLE SAYS IT ALL

let us keep warranty and unlock the prime with flash recovery such as NVFlash to repair to stock, look @Acer they are doing that for their customers out of the box with a510. Why can't we get same sevices after all we have been through. It would be a nice gesture.

Thanks for dongle but really doesn't make up for built in gps, the slick looking Prime aint so slick when someone asks " whats that thing on your tablet".

PLUS FIX BROWSER WOULD BE NICE, and in my situation after .21 WiFi is killing my battery, dont know why. My settings are the same as before update.

AN UPGRADE PATH TO THE 700 WOULD BE NICE. Considering people are getting pretty much the same device we have with the (300 Pad) and for much less. Most Primes dont even operate as they are suppose to yet, there are still some issues, and Asus releases a lower end tablet that so far has had nothing but good feedback with no issues. Take care of the ORIGINAL PRIME OWNERS.

That is Correct. I just picked up a tf300t lastnight at best buy. I was originally going to the store to get the tf201 but to my surprise they handed me a tf300t. I said wtf?... this is not a PRIME. He said it's the latest and greatest. Well after getting home and setting it up with (NO PROBLEMS) at all it ran pretty nice and smooth. The gps took about 2-3 to get it's first fix "indoors" I should add but it went well. The next test was wifi and it to was no problem. pretty soon after came an ota update but no problems. I went outside to test wifi and video streaming 100+ feet from wifi source "deep in my brick house" kept up nicely. a few gliches with video pausing but I fixed that with a mobo video player from the Market... errrr Play Store. Battery doest last 10 hours either... maybe 7 hours after 2 full charges of 3-4= hours each. I only had this 24 hours roughly and am somewhat impressed... <--Hard to Impress. Other than the slightly lower spec's than the tf201 it's solid so far with no lock up's. Am dieing to test the TF700 thou with really, really really impressive... OK I'm Impressed nice spec's.

P.S. One problem. A video glitch running Battery Snap, the video started stuttering and hard to back out. eventually did and a reboot fixed that.

As if ASUS would actually listen to you.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drvsbsm:
Right, thats why I will be making a better decision next time. I really like the prime when it runs like it is suppose to.

I wont be buying the 700, why really its a tegra3 device, I already have a tegra3 now. My decision will be when next years Asus comes out. It will be hard to give them my money again. If they dont do right I will Probably be going back to Sammy tabs, yeah they dont update as much but they dont have to, my Samsung GTab 10.1 ran flawless for 9 months. It just got outdated when tegra3 came out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kabrutus:
+1. i will never buy any Asus device ever again. From them sweeping the GPS under the rug and giving us a half ass dongle that wont work with the keyboard dock... Dont get me started on the poor wifi... I travel a lot and i can never get any reception on this Prime...but i also travel with an iPad and that has no issue connecting to those same networks. I love andriod but some of these manufactures need to do better QC'ing before they release to the public.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pyr0x64:
+1 to the better unlocking and nvflash

i would love to unlock my device, but don't want to loose ALL warranty.. especially with no nvflash :(

wifi, i have managed to live with after going out and purchasing 2 new routers to give decent wifi signal all around the house

it was a little disappointing though, as my old and very cheap advent vega tablet was able to stream videos anywhere in the house without issue when i only had a single router
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Having our device fully unlocked would be a cool thing.

But first they should get all the software issues straightened out. I thought asus is good with updates and so far there were quite a few updates but they didnt fix the issues or fixed one but introduced another.

I'm perfectly happy with my prime its all about software now and if they chose not to make it fully unlockable i expect PERFECT software. The easier way of course would be to let the community make the perfect roms by just open everything up...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Severion:
Unlocked boot loader would be a great way of doing justice to their buyers, the reason we choose android is freedom, it sucks when it is taken away.

grant us nvflash and warranty and im a happy little boy :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
never going to happen. ill choose wiser next time i spend $650.

Asus, my nuts. Do the math.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riyatch:
i will never buy an asus product again if things dont get worked out soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mick3444:
Totally agree. In had the tf101 and LOVED IT. I upgraded to the prime and still love it. But Asus, you need to clean up your act. Take note from manufactures like HTC. They fully unlock boot loaders and only partially void your warranty. After all the issues your "RIGOROUS" tests failed to catch, at least give us a fully unlocked boot loader with nv flash. That is not too much to ask, especially since you already voided are warranties.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesse6749:
I already decided to move on and away from Asus products. I have my Acer A510 that was cheaper and everything works on it flawlessly, and I had it rooted on the day it arrived from Amazon. My Prime now just sits around collecting dust till one of my kids decides to pick it up to play some of the Nintendo games on it, cause it's mainly used by my kids to play games on it now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drvsbsm:
I'm just trying to look out for the Prime owners here I think we all deserve at least to be able to customize our device without losing our warranty. I don't think the original post was out of line, to be honest. We have been through the mud with this unit. Some people are happy they have Primes but they probably don't have any issues with it. I can see why they are happy on the other hand some of us have had issue from day one, and still have issues that aren't fixed, such as the ones stated in original post. I can say Mine isn't as bad as some on here its probably 90% operational but after giving you, Asus $650 of my money it should be 100% operational after 5 or 6 months IMO.

Thats All.

I thought about it but don't see a reason to buy 2 Tegra3 tablets, my decision will be different when Tegra4 or the next Mali from Sammy comes out. I like the Prime if they would just get it together, damn its been what 5 or 6 months. Give us something to show you understand the pains we went through with this unit. The GPS was a good gesture but it just doesn't fix all the wrongs and everything that we have had to deal with for a half year now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
Did someone even PM the man about this thread?

I would also like a fully unlocked bootloader, nvflash (which is getting near, it seems process of releasing nvflash is getting into negotiations, check one of the official asus threads by him), and access to hardware warranty. If nvflash is given to us with full permissions, and our bootloader is fully unlocked, i would definately feel obliged to congratulate asus despite being a company that puts us all through with a device that works fully for some, while others taste bad rma service and faulty design related issues (noticed a few days that my tablet is becoming bent from being connected to the dock, the aluminium back cover which is pretty but it seems that wifi is weaker because of that as well...) - i would enjoy my device much more.

i would even be fine if they removed tablets back cover and replaced it with other material, painted in the same color than the rest, to have stronger wifi. my tfp doesn't have "gps" written on the case, so i couldn't complain about that, even though i read in the device's spec sheet that it had gps when i searched about it. i almost don't use it, i'm pretty much about 2 locations right now: work/home.

i could go out, have this one rma'ed, buy another tablet like acer latest, once this one comes back evaluate if i should sell it, depending on factors described above. but i don't want to. i want to keep this, as it is a good machine, and with bootloader fully unlocked+nvflash+dualboot native linux/android, it would be sweet to have powerful wifi.

edit: and.. one other thing: no software is perfect, i'm afraid to disapoint you. it can always be improved.

[Motorola Atrix 2] hellot1M:
I just bought an Atrix 2 today for my girlfriend. Hi Atrix people :)

So could someone introduce me?

My phone is the photon and I love it! One thing I've noticed from browsing this thread is that there isn't much ics support going on. Could someone tell me why? I thought the only real differences between the Atrix and Atrix 2 is the cam and a few minor features.

Anyways I'm really just interested in what's going on with ics for the Atrix 2. Anything I should know or be up to date on for cm9 or anything ics?
[Motorola Atrix 2] bigTINY779:
Unfortunately we don't yet have an unlocked bootloader, which is holding up development. There are a couple of devs working on a bootloader bypass from what I've read. So as soon as they have it ready and working then I think development will start kicking. I think there are a couple of devs working on an ics port as well.(fingers crossed!)
[Motorola Atrix 2] hellot1M:
Thanks for the quick reply. Has anyone tried communicating with other Motorola devs? Like from the photon, razr, current moto androids. With the photon I know that its bootloader was unlocked redneck style just to get the roms rolling. We had to sacrifice 4G (wimax) data but it was worth it.

Within a month we had several choices for ics with everything working. And anything gingerbread was perfect. No need for an "issues" section in OP lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] Chrisruns:
Uh, yeah. We have a few ROMs. There are very few actual issues. A lot of the problems come from people not knowing what they're doing or making simple mistakes (i.e they read something wrong) the phone itself is very solid and stock works great. Just make sure you root it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hellot1M:
I'll be rooting in a few days just sad that ics is almost nonexistent on this phone. The other roms from what I've read seem pretty solid. But the only one that I'm interested in is still barely alpha and from the OP its not stable enough to use as a daily...
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Well, CM9 is actually fairly stable minus the radio and sd card functionality (which can be fixed by flashing a zip). And we're just waiting on bl unlock/bypass or a leaked early Moto build of ICS for our A2 so we can get the radio working.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Chrisruns:
ICS will be around sometime in July-September. We're hoping to get it through cheesecake probably in June or late May.

The CM9 Nightly build you are talking about is VERY shaky.

Most of these GB Roms are very smooth, fast and stable. I'm currently using Lithium and I love it.

Just be patient. It's coming. :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] bigTINY779:
We are supposed to get am ota release of ics in q3 of this year. That's not to far down the line.:D
[Motorola Atrix 2] hellot1M:
When it comes to Motorola don't expect a leaked ics before its released. They aren't know for that. Also what zip do I need to get calling and SMS working for cm9? I started reading through the thread but got distracted working on my cm9 build for the inspire
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
That might be true... but we got the 2.3.6 update from cheesecake months in advance, so once we have that we should have a stable CM9 build.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Leaked? Of course not. We just pull it straight off their development servers :p.

Calling/sms/data do not work in CM9 for the A2 because we need a functional ICS radio which we don't have atm. Once Moto starts pushing early builds to their servers we should be able to pull the necessary radio files and get a stable(ish) CM9!
[Motorola Atrix 2] hellot1M:
My e4gt, inspire, and photon the gingerbread radios work just fine. Also the first Atrix, captivate (all of the first Gen galaxy s series) all work perfect on ics. None of which have any kind of leak of ics. What makes this phone different with its gingerbread radio?
[Motorola Atrix 2] StrizzMatik:
Been kinda wondering this myself. Even the friggin' Droid X has CM9 and this phone is so much better specs-wise :( we couldn't just patch in a GB radio for now?
[Motorola Atrix 2] hellot1M:
I believe its possible without the sources from Motorola. I've seen several other roms do this just fine without any kind of manufacture support

I would like to look into this but I can't seem to find a rom.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
My infuse got ics ported a few weeks back. The dev used a lot of gingerbread firmware to get it going.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hellot1M:
Exactly. We don't need help from Motorola. It would just make things easier. I miss the devs from the first Atrix. Geniuses when it came to porting ics to that phone and when I talked to some of them they told me this phone should be a breeze compared to the Atrix and photon considering the tegra CPU/gpu. Which at the time before the Xoom got ics they had nothing to go off of and pretty much completely redesigned the basic arm7 chipset to trick the phones into thinking that's what it had inside
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
From what I understand cm9 for the Droid 3 boots on our phones, except the radio doesn't work (obviously) and there's some sort of issue with SD cards.
