Excellent protection
December 5, 2017
I purchased this protective case for my new Fire 8. At the time I placed the order, I had just reported the second accident with to my Kindle. I have only had this particular device since it came out in June. At the time I ordered the Kindle Fire 8, I also ordered the Amazon case for it. However, that case was rarely closed so I could use the Kindle. Because of this, I dropped and shattered the screen twice. The representative I spoke to at Square Trade suggested that I get a child's case for the replacement that was being sent. So I looked at several children's cases, and decided to order.
Pros:
*Keeps the Kindle padded and safe
*The screen will not touch the ground if dropped, due to more height of the padding around the edges.
*If the device is dropped, this case bounces.
*All of the holes in the case line up with the important things like power and volume buttons, charging port, and camera.
*This is made of dense foam and although it's a struggle to get it onto the Kindle, it will not slide out.
Cons:
*It is a struggle get put on and remove the case
*There is no way to cover the screen when you are not using the device. It gets dirty and covered with fingerprints very quickly. It would be nice if a screen cover was included, just one of those clear plastic sheets that adhere to the screen.
Overall, I'm very happy with this product, and I would buy it again.

👎NOT COMPATIBLE WITH FIRE HD 8 8 INCH
December 19, 2018
When I ordered this kid proof case, I was under the impression that it would accommodate my new Fire HD 8 TABLET well it didn't. What arrived was for 7th Generation. I contacted AMAZON and they are taking care of it. I give AMAZON customer service AAA+ for going above and beyond. Thank you!!! I need that Fire bumper so she can use my Fire to enjoy those educational things I have on it. Have a blessed day!

I LOVE this Kindle protector, holder, bumper. I have always had some kind of case on my kindles usually the type with open and close flap and I love those but I wanted something different. In the past I bought a few silicone type and the color range is huge and I bought way to many but sadly I HATE those. They are just to slippery in your hand. That is why I love this particular one it is NOT slippery it has a tiny bit of texture down the sides so it is secure in your hand/finger. I bought Punch Red and it is more like a coral/peachy color and I love it so so much. I did not really want RED but none of the other colors appealed to me so I got it and was very surprised its not like really red. I may buy another one in case these get discontinued for the kindle generation I have. Amazon please add a few more cool colors, we adults are loving these as well...lol :)

Didnt help at all, my son dropped his Fire Tablet and it cracked the screen.

When I upgraded my 8" fire w/newer version, I knew the old one wouldn't get the care/love it did when it was my ONLY fire. So, buying this was to protect the old one from my sometimes clumsy handling. I've already put it to the test w/an unintended fling to the floor and of course, the fire didn't feel a thing because of this huge rubber case. The buttons are still accessible, though I do have to 'dig' for them; but, to have the protection it provides, so be it. I don't worry about loaning it out to youngsters when they visit either. (they can't touch my new fire!)

The red color is a disappointment. It is not a true red. It is dull and runs more coral than red. For a case designed for children I would expect a more vibrant primary red. Also I think overpriced for just a rubber backing on the tablet.

Definitely served its purpose! All three of my boys (3,6,11) have the amazon iPad and all three have this case in different colors. Haven’t broken a single iPad! Definitely sturdy!

This case fits snuggly and protects from falls wonderfully. I have had this on another tablet, the 7, and it worked so well that when I got the Amazon Fire 8 for another grandchild I knew I had to have it on this one too.

The red looks more pink than red so if it's for a boy I would just go with blue or black. But this is my grandsons favorite toy for the past two years.

Bought as a replacement to the standard yellow case kindle arrives in. It’s more of a pink based red then a true red. It’s the same quality as stock

Returned it because I returned the tablet. Grandson couldn't get the games he wanted.

My 5 year old son has had this for 6 months. He has dropped his tablets tons of times and so glad he had this cover on it. Highly recommend!
