Exactly what I was looking for.
August 9, 2017
I am pretty picky with cases for electronic devices. With tablets, there are two things I look at when selecting a case. First, I look at the design of the outside. I don't like any buttons, kick stands, or elastics. These, in my opinion, are unnecessary and just get in the way when putting the tablet in a bag or on a shelf. Second, I look at how the tablet goes into the case. I immensely dislike the cases where there is a leather/pleather case around the tablet - taking up some of the screen. I like the screen to be completely open. This case met both of my criteria. There is no external unnecessary hardware. Just a simple cover that opens and folds back. I like the magnetic on and off feature. Also, the tablet snaps into the case. No screen coverages, nothing is in the way. I bought this case, snapped the tablet in, put a screen protector on it and I was good to go! Great case for the money, simple, easy, and exactly what I was looking for. The flag design is pretty sweet too...

I thought I was ordering the Poetic Case for my new Kindle Fire HD (2017) and ordered this instead. What makes this case a deal breaker is the case flap. It doesn't flip over to where the cover edge meets the back edge. It goes about 1/2 inch further below it making it uncomfortable to hold. Also, the cover flap wobbles back and forth when folded because it is not one solid piece that is connected to the cover. If they had connected the whole flap to the back cover and cut out the areas for the speakers it would have taken out the wobble. If they address these two problems this would be a nice little case.

Fintie Slim Case for All-New Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet (7th Generation, 2017 Release), Ultra Lightweight Slim Shell Standing Cover with Auto Wake / Sleep, Black
A very nice case for Kindle FIre 8 (2017 Edition/Latest) at a more than reasonably low price. Easy to fit the device into the case. All claims in the description are accurate, the product works for standing both horizontally and vertically as well as immediately putting the device to 'sleep' once the cover is closed. All buttons on the Kindle are exposed and easily accessible as well as the USB port for charging. The product is light weight. Initial inspection of the item brings to question the longevity and durability of the materials it is constructed with and which cannot be reviewed at this time. It is my opinion that this case will meet the demands of standard/casual use quite well, remembering that the product is intended as a case/cover/book style wallet for your Kindle and does not warrant protection against damage due to dropping from any height, immersion or user misuse and/or abuse. It should also be noted that the product does not offer screen protection and it would be advisable for the buyer to also purchase a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), or of tempered glass screen protector (which is advisable no matter the case/cover/stand/etc. used for any tablet/cellular phone/ etc.).

The slim case was shipped in a plastic bag that was torn. The tape used to close it was stuck to a box with another product I had purchased. The box containing both was larger than required and there was nothing in it to stop the contents from sliding around. When I removed the bag from the case I saw a gash on the front cover and a groove on the reverse. The product looked as if it had been returned and then re shipped. The damage did not stop the case from working as it should so I decided not to return it. Other than that everything worked great.

I just wanted a case that would protect my kindle, looked nice, easy to clean, fairly priced and built well. Well, this case
completely satisfied me. So much in fact that after I showed it to my picky wife I just purchased one for her just now. Now we both picked the black one because of price so this good review is for that color only as all other colors have a much higher price and to me puts them into a category like all the other vendors over priced ones. I mean some are as much as my Kindle cost. Also I had to search long and hard for a material that didn't kill an animal. I hate leather anything as it is the result of having to kill an innocent animal.

Perfect case! I had to contact the company over a minor problem & they sent me a new one super fast & free. Now I have two cases that I absolutely love. I gave one to my nephew. Case puts tablet to sleep as advertised and my tablet fits even though it has a special protective screen on top. It fits snug but it was not difficult to get the tablet inside. It will definitely provide protection. Five stars all the way around. I use on fire hd 8.

I have been using this case for 2 years. This is a good buy. This case to the Amazon tablet has really held up well and is easy to use. The fit and finish of the case is great. The only mechanical problem I encountered was that the rare earth magnet which closes the cover would snap together so strongly that it chipped the case and the magnet fell out. A little super glue solved that issue. Otherwise, no complaints.

This is the second and third Fintie Slim Case for Amazon Fires that I have purchased. My first was for the 10" fire and is still being used after 2 years of use. It is still in as good of shape as it was when I first took it out of the package. I recently purchased two 8" fires on HSN and then purchased two Finte Slim Cases for both. I am extremely happy with my choice. They are sturdy, they look really nice (I purchased black for all), and the method you provide for standing the tablet up works perfectly. I also purchased and put on all tablets a glass shield. This works perfectly and has absolutely no detrimental effect on the Fintie Case. You have a very good product and if I need more protective cases in the future I will definitely be looking at Fintie Cases.

The Fintie Slim case for the Fire HD8 seems to be well constructed. It fits the tablet quite well. It covers and protects the tablet well.
My only gripe with the case is that it does not work with the Fire 8's new Show Mode. The case, when used as a stand, holds the tablet with the speakers facing downward. In order for the Show Mode to be enabled the speakers must be facing upward. That's a bit annoying, as I had to buy a separate stand for the tablet.

Fits my new 2017 HD8 perfectly. I have had great luck with this brand (Fintie). I have these for several different Fire tablets and they all fit great. I bought another brand last week because I could not find the Fintie for my new 2017 model. It didn't fit and I had to return it. I did some more looking and finally found the updated Fintie.
I will be more careful in the future and buy these as long as I can find the one for my next generation Fire...which of course has not been introduced yet.

This is exactly as described. Good price, good product. It fit well and was very easy to put on. The cover wakes/sleeps the device. The cover folds so that it can become a little stand if you want to prop up your device in the landscape orientation. The magnetic clasp is strong enough that I throw my device into my purse and don't worry about it jostling open and allowing the face of my device to get scratched.

Fits the 2017 7th gen Kindle Fire HD 8 well, looks good, and seems to provide decent protection. It's easy to fold into stand mode, and is reasonably stable when sitting on a solid surface, such as a table. When holding the tablet in my hands with the cover folded around the back of the tablet, it feels a bit awkward, since the cover ends up being slightly wider than the tablet. It's not too bad though, and overall I'm satisfied with the purchase.
