Nice sleek case for Amazon HD Fire 8"
January 25, 2018
I purchased this case for my Amazon Fire 8" 7th edition tablet. Right out of the package I loved this case. The things I liked about this case are:
-It has a sleek and stylish look and feel which I love.
-It doesn't add too much bulk or weight to the tablet.
-I really love the sleep feature once you close the lid to reserve battery.
-The buttons, sd card slot and ear phone hole are easily accessible.
The only thing I didn't like about this case is the corner edges could be a little sturdier. The left corner of my case cracked off and broke off only after a little over a month of use. Mind you I've only used my tablet in bed and never dropped it or been rough with it. So, either I got a faulty one or perhaps the slight pull and tension from taking the tablet in and out of the case causes it to weaken at the corner. The seller was great though. I contacted them and they got back to me right away and replaced my case. The new case is so far so good. Hopefully, this one will last. Will update if any issues.

Magnetic cover, auto lock/sleep & slim fitting, all at a great price!
November 27, 2017
Update:
After 3 months of gentle use, in which the kindle and case have primarily been sitting on an night stand when not in use (not knocked around in a bag), the case is starting to fall apart. At first the glue holding the magnets failed, so when you opened the cover, the magnets would pull out. Then, the plastic case began to chip away, starting first at th thin plastic around the magnet. Add that to the fact that the stand is nearly useless, and it’s becoming a disappointing product...
Great case at a great price! The case is slim fitting, and perfectly fits my Kindle Fire HD 8. The front cover is magnetic and stays in place once closed, it also automatically locks the device and puts it to sleep, which is great. The case does have an odd smell to it, but I’m sure that will fade over time, and it’s only noticeable up close. I’m very happy with this purchase.

I love this cover for my Kindle. It's lightweight, has magnetic closure that helps to keep it closed, and is much easier to stand up in comparison to the ones you have to fold under the clip. I highly recommend!

Excellent case for the price. It covers and protects, and the magnetic catch is pretty strong. The two-position easel worked pretty well once I figured out how to use it. No rips or tears have started after about 50 hours of light use. I try not to shock-test my devices, so I don't know about impact resistance. I would prefer a rougher finish for more slip resistance, but it is easy to hold onto as is. Clean and sleek looking.

This is the perfect case for my new Fire HD 8. It's the best one I've ever tried for the many Amazon Fires we own, and have owned over many years. The magnetic stabilizer is the best improvement for our needs. Highly recommend!

Would have bought it with my Fire HD8 tablet, but had to comb thru all of the protective cover offerings to choose what was best for me. This was it. I'd recommend this cover over Amazon's "Best Seller". The base will take the rigors of transportation of the tablet and protect it and its LCD screen quite well. The base is of solid, opaque, high-impact plastic. The folding cover holds itself closed with magnets, and the same magnets fold the cover into a convenient prop-stand to allow watching videos in landscape format. Close the cover and the magnets put the tablet to sleep. What's not to like for only $13.99.
The snap in base that captivates the tablet in place doesn't cover parts of the face like the straps and bezels of many other cases. This was the best of the bunch for my money and likings.

Very nice ultra thin and light case. Fits perfectly. Still wondering why there are holes for the speakers since the cover folds over and back when I have the case open to use the tablet -- the speakers wouldn't be covered anyways. I wish that the SD card port was covered because frankly, how often does one really swap SD cards?
Update 7 months later: After only light use, magnets started slipping out. I kept trying to repair by gluing them back, eventually the plastic around the magnets broke off. Last straw was when plastic holding the tablet in started crumbling.
After shopping around looking for a different case, I still ended up ordering another one of these because this is the only one which had the features, thinness, and weight that I wanted.

This case fits the Fire HD 8 perfectly. It is stylish, and very professional looking. The back of the case has a port for the camera lens, so you can still freely take pictures and record videos while the case is in. What's really nice about the case is once the flap is closed over the screen, it automatically puts the tablet to sleep, so you never have to worry about your battery dying prematurely.

After three months of gentle use, a small crack has formed around each of the magnets that hold the cover closed. Now, the magnets easily fall out of the case and become attached to the cover. Given cracks formed only around both of these locations and I have only used the device gently, I can only attribute this to manufacturer error and I do not recommend this product.

I like to have my Fire HD8 next to me while working on my laptop. Using it to either play music or a show in the background (I'm one of those people that needs background noise to concentrate). Well, I got the case and it looks nice and it's a decent enough quality for the price. I put it on my tablet and continued my regular routine. Almost immediately my laptop started rebooting by itself. It did 3 times before I finally realized what was going on. I placed my tablet right next to my laptop to play some music and the magnets on the case were causing my laptop to reboot. I removed the tablet from the vicinity of my laptop and my laptop stopped rebooting.
The case is nice. But remember that hard drives do not like magnets so keep it away from your laptop or your PC. Thankfully, it doesn't look like it caused any permanent damage to mine.
