This leather cover for my new Kindle Fire HD is just perfect, as it feels as if I'm closing my book as usual. The cover puts my Kindle to sleep and I don't have to worry about any unnecessary power loss before waking it up by opening it again. I have already recommended it to all my friends and relatives who have invested in a Kindle Fire HD. Can't fault it.

You do need a protective case for your Fire HD, and this is about as good as you get, in my opinion, balancing looks, protection and usability. I have knocked off 1 star for the near �40 price tag and not always secure 'standing', but otherwise it is an excellent case and I would thoroughly recommend it.
Nicely finished in patterned leather, with rubberised edges to hold the tablet securely - the Kindle fits very snugly into the case, and there are cutouts for the connectors, speakers, earphone socket, volume control and on/off switch without compromising the integrity and protective properties of the cover.
There is a magnetic sensor in the case that puts your Kindle 'to sleep' when it is closed, and then 'reawakens' it when opened again. This certainly saves you shutting-down and booting-up time if you used the power switch instead.
The textured surface of the case means it is comfortable and secure to hold, and the cover folds right over the back without any problems at all.
I have noted issues with the case standing securely on a shiny desk surface - the back cover especially tends to slip on occasion (not every time by any means) and the whole thing falls flat.
That minor niggle aside, and the high price, this case is obviously tailor-made for the Fire HD and is a quality addition to your kit

Update - I see the price is now around �20 - that's more like it, Amazon!

Fits like a glove and doesn't comprimise any of the controls.
The auto on / off is brilliant and works flawlessly.

This cover doesn't add much to the dimensions and I can still get my Kindle HD in my inside Jacket pocket.

I have recommended this to all my friends who have a Kindle Fire HD

Just purchased my first Kindle (HD Fire) and I must say i'm impressed :)

I decided I needed to have a cover for it and went straight onto ebay to source the cheapest and best deals. . . then thought twice, my previous iPad cover from ebay was poor quaility and was advertised as 'Genuine Apple' etc, it was not and the quailty was exactly like the �9.99 I paid for it.

I gritted my teeth and paid the price for the Amazon Cover, �36.99.

It arrived in the nice smiley brown box along with my Kindle and i'm glad I bought the more expensive cover, it fits like a glove and looks the part whilst protecting my Kindle.

Overall, If you can get over the slightly high price, buy it! Deffo worth it to protect your Kindle, it feels great, fantastic quality and it looks great too. (I got the purple)

I've had my Kindle since September and I love it - or rather I did... This Kindle case was good from the point of view that it automatically puts the Kindle to sleep when you close it and re-awakens it when it's opened.

There are a few problems though:

1. It looks quite cheap for the significant price (nearly �40 when I bought it)
2. As other reviewers have mentioned, you can't charge it and have it standing upright.
3. You can only use headphones with a straight jack - if it's one of the ones with a right angle on the end, it won't fit into the headphone socket with the case on the Kindle.
4. It does stand up - but don't expect it to stay that way... Last night, I stood mine on the bathroom window sill and it collapsed from its standing position. This caused the Kindle to plunge into my newly run bath - and now I have no Kindle. I am gutted. I am aware that this was partially my fault (probably not the best place to leave the Kindle) but the 'stand up' position on this is not stable on a smooth surface. You have been warned :(

With Kindle you can more or less alway expect quality and this is exactly what this cover is. Good quality and stunning looks on my kindle. Worth the price.

Does what it says on the cover. Colour looks brilliant and it does turn on the kindle and shut it upon flipping cover.

Good quality cover, however, it doesn't stand very well when in landscape! Keeps falling over. Shouldn't there have been a connection loop or a 'floor' for it to stand on - same as the iPad cover?? Surely rocket science wasn't needed, and common sense was when designing this?

Easy to fit, looks good and is sturdy enough to protect the kindle. Turns the devize on and off with the flip of a lid. Only slight snag is that when you are using the cover as a stand, you are unable to charge the kindle because of the position of the socket.

This cover as expected fits like a glove is described as Leather but feels like a manmade material. The price is steep for amazon and no doubt someone will come up with a cheaper cover, (don't start getting greedy amazon) But I wanted to protect my Kindle from the off.
