Protective Childproof Outdoor Kindle Cover by Otterbox for Kindle Fire HD 7", Black (will only fit All-New Kindle Fire HD 7")

I have an otterbox for the galaxy s4 so knew that this product was going to be worth the expenditure.
I am not disappointed. The protection offered by this case is exceptional and it looks good too.
This item is for the Kindle Fire HD 7 inch tablet without the camera (2013 model). The box states HDX but it definitely is for the Fire HD 7 inch 2013 model.
If you have a camera on your kindle dont buy this one otherwise you will be taking some interesting pictures of the inside of the otterbox case. If you manage to squeeze it in.

Contrary to the post below, this case fits perfectly the all new kindle fire hd.
I suspect the post below wanted a case for the 2012 kindle fire hd ( still sold in 2013) which has the camera and is 16gb.
This case 100% fits the all new kindle fire hd 8gb 2013 model without camera.
The case is stunning! , makes the kindle look 10 times better ( as do all otterbox cases).
I have otterbox defender for my iPad, so does the mother in law and father in law after seeing mine..... So does both my brothers and now both my step- daughters....you just cannot go wrong, these are the real deal.
My eldest step daughter had a kindle fire (2012 model) and we used your average fold over case for it- it lasted 6 months before the screen cracked and it was useless - I then vowed that from then on we all have otterbox defender for all our tablets, yes they are expensive, but less than half the price of a kindle (or eighth price of an iPad).
You pay for what you get and anyone that has owned an otterbox defender case will tell you they are fantastic.
These cases make your tablet almost bomb proof, they chucked an iPad across the room to the floor in one of these cases on the gadget show and it was good as new and the protection is identical for kindle.

I don't write many reviews on here, but the post below got it wrong and I want to assure people that this case will fit your 2013 new kindle fire hd and protect it like it is the Crown Jewels .
Buy it and never look back ...they genuinely are that good :-).

For some reason this came in a box labeled as for the HDX, it wasn't though, the correct item was in the packet. Ideal as our 5yr old uses the HD for netflix, reading & games as she can still plug in her headphones or the charger through the flaps which line up through the case to the ports.
Love Otterboxes and great to see them for the Kindle. Looks pretty kid proof too :)

I've have an Otterbox defender on my phone for 2 years and it's still going strong.

We got the kindle for our kids (3 and 8 years old) so a good protective cover was a must. Two months on and it looks like new and has protected it from plenty of drops.

Expensive for a cover but does it's job.

Arrived in plenty of time, good fit. A bit fiddly to fit, diagram for instructions took a bit of guess work.
Two young children and I get the dropsy's every now and then or taking it to work in my bag so wanted something that could withstand this. So far so good. More than happy.

I have often sung the praises of Otterbox cases for electronic items. I would do so again for this item, but unfortunately, this time, I can't!!

We ordered this for the Kindle Fire HD 7" for my autistic son, to ensure that he would not break it by accidentally dropping it. On arrival, it was obvious it did not fit, but we attempted to fit it anyway - just to make sure. When we looked at the packaging, it appears that the manufacturer has placed a new sizing sticker over the original. On peeling back the sticker that states this is for HD 7", we found that the original sticker states that the item is for the Kindle Fire HDX - the new Amazon tablet. Needless to say, I am extremely unhappy that the manufacturer has done this, as the two tablets are not the same!! Otterbox - sort yourselves out!

Update on 3rd December:

I do not believe that a product review is a place to comment on Amazon's performance. However, I would say top marks to Amazon in this case. They spotted my dis-satisfaction and contacted me directly to try to organise a return (I had already put this in motion). Then, they have made a small gesture to say sorry for the problem, when it was not of their making.

The only remaining problem is the continuing mis-description on this item, which I was assured had been changed. It is not changed yet - it still says that it does NOT fit Kindle Fire HDX, but is for all-new Kindle Fire 7". This should be the other way round. If this gets changed, this review is no longer relevant and I can take it off the site. Until then - know what you are buying!!!

This is definitely worth the money. Robust and well designed. No chance of damage to the kindle. Great colour too

Just perfect, covers the kindle, sensitive anti reflective screen. Saw the tests on the Gadget Show, won it for me.
