This is terrible news.
I predict that the future popularity of the Fire will have them making one. I have a Gumydrop case for my Transformer and they say coming soon for the FIre. http://www.gumdropcases.com/kindle-fire.html
god i hope they change their minds
There is an Otterbox for the Playbook that may fit. We got one cheap off of Amazon for like $24.95 a month or so ago in hopes of using it with the Fire, but haven't tested it yet. The Playbook 3rd party rubber sleeves are too big, but the Playbook leather folio cases (3rd party) look/work great on the Fire. I got one for $4... regular price was $29.95.

About this sentence in the specs:
> Complete security for the Kindle Fire, including screen and port covers
Does this mean I wouldn't need an extra screen protector because the Gumydrop case has this already built-in?
Why buy a $40-50 case for a $200 item? "If you're looking for the most rugged, durable yet ultimately affordable Kindle Fire protection" Gumdrop, you think $50 case is cheap? really?!?!?
My rule is spend 10% of the device cost for case. I got a $24 trident kraken II case for my $250 phone, its an awesome case as good as otterbox.
For the fire the case has to be $19.99 or less for me to bite. Somebody has to make a quality one that is affordable too.

The Fire screen is gorilla glass, you don't need an anti-scratch screen protector.

I have one for my ASUS Transformer. It does have a plastic screen built into the case so you wouldn't have to have a screen protector on the device itself.

Did you ever get around to testing the playbook case with the Fire? If so, how'd that go?

The Kindle Fire is a little smaller in dimensions and thickness to the Playbook. The Kindle Fire in the Playbook Otterbox is too loose and rattles around. You may be able to add some padding to retrofit to make it work. The price for a Playbook Otterbox is really cheap, so it may be worth a try.
This is really disappointing... I was hoping for an otterbox for this so I wouldn't have to worry about my son dropping it around the house. Does anyone have one of those gumdrop cases yet? And if so how sturdy is it.... If nothing else it looks pretty rad.
Has there been any update on this since the popularity of the Fire? Their initial no was just over a month ago; maybe there's been a change of mind?
wouldnt mine buying one for my fire.
really???? Otterbox what the he!! is going on? frist they skipped on my intercept; then they skipped my triumph; now they skip my cm7 clad fire. wth has their r and d department all been poop caned.
An Otterbox on my Kindle Fire would look great paired to the Otterbox on my Bionic!!!

PS - They said, as of a week ago, that it's in serious consideration. I'm sure it is after millions of Fire's have been sold...
Ballistic has a case fire Kindle Fire coming sometime soon. Ballistic makes better cases than Otterbox, in my opinion. Here's the link: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/amazon-kindle-fire-ballistic-tough-jacket-series-case
Otterbox Alternative for Kindle Fire
Looking forward to the Ballistic case mentioned above. Both my wife and I have Ballistic cases for our Evo 4G's and love them. Can't wait.
UPDATE: Go Ballistic has increased the projected price to $69.99 from $34.99. A big jump. I don't think I can justify a $70 case for a $199 device.

Looks like the 3rd Gen kindle covers work well with the Archos 70 IT. Have a look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeJJ7hdFhm8
I spoke with Mark, the guy in the video, and he said that his is made by M-EDGE.
P.S. I went to the Mall and tested out:
Galaxy Tab Silicone case (no good)
Nook and Nook Color covers (some are so so and some not all)
Nook neoprene case (yes fits nicely)
Kindle 2nd Gen cover from Radioshack (no good)
It looks the Kindle 3rd Gen case is a nice fit though.
It's so funny you posted this, cause I just ordered a similar case (M-Edge Trip Kindle Jacket (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle) the black one) yesterday. It was fairly cheap, even with expedited shipping ($30). It looks really thin and I like the fact that it is a canvas type of material. It will make it so much easier to hold in one hand. Heres the link for anyone interested:
http://www.amazon.com/M-Edge-Kindle...KTKO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1292130208&sr=8-3
I will post pics and a small review when I actually get it, probably by Monday.
yes. it fits ok.
Why not get http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9715885&postcount=4 instead? It's completely made for our device and same price. No corner straps (that i think looks kinda silly) required, and matching color. Don't forget the 10% code in that link if you get it.
Though the last kindle case link don't look bad either if you prefer that.
Yeah, the A70 case with the kickstand looks pretty cool. I had a case like that for theiPad but I found it to be a bit bulky. The Kindle jacket is very slim and simple. Loss of kickstand is kind of a bummer but not the end of the world for me.
Ah I see. That make sense.

Yeah, I considered that one, but it looks a bit too much like a traditional PMP case. I really wanted something stylish that resembled more of a book. That's why i'm so excited about the Trip case. It will look like i'm actually reading a book on the train.

True, but to be honest, it's so crowded on the subway during rush hour, my gun would probably go off by accident. So i'll just stick with my stylish book case. I tried it out this morning for the first time on my commute. It worked puy-fectly.
I have my Archos 70 and loving it. A case was a big concern for me. I compared many Kindle2 and NookColor cases and have found the non-proprietary (use elastic corner straps and not plastic clips) Nook cases to work the best.
Go into your local B&N store and take a look around. If you buy before Christmas, all Nook cases are 30% off.
I upgraded to the Otterbox Defender Series case for my XOOM. I got the Portfolio Case laying around back in the original box I had purchased it with (from best buy). I bought this case the day I got my XOOM knowing that I would upgrade once a better case had hit the market.
I am willing to sale this case and ship it for $15. just pm me and I'll let you know how to pay me through paypal.
I figured another XOOM owner needs a case...
any takers?
I know there's gotta be a XOOM out there that needs a case...
pm me for details...

Motorola Xoom Portfolio Case - Saved my Xoom
I want to share a quick story with you guys.
Yesterday I was on my 7th floor balcony playing Poker on my xoom, and smoking at the same time. I accidently dropped xoom, which landed on a patch of grass. While watching it flying down, I was already thinking, there goes $600.00 down the drain. While in mid air case closed it self and zoom landed flat. When went to pick it up, not one single scratch on it, and works perfect. $50.00 Folio Case saved my xoom.
I'm glad you didn't crack the touch screen glass.

MOD EDIT: No advertising
bought the portfolio case and returned it w/in 2 days, upgraded to the otterbox ( i think they only have one xoom case) and couldn't be happier, my otterbox stand/outer cover actually cracked, i called otterbox and they sent me an entirely new case, even when i told them i only need my case/stand (1 of the 2 included pieces). props to otterbox

Super helpful.
I quite like the case. The basic design is sound just its execution could be better. There's definately a lot of variation in quality control though. The first one I bought at full price from authorised dealer the fit was very tight. I returned that when I found one for sale half the price elsewhere. Had to return that because the plastic clip was coming away from the vinyl.
On the third one now & this one seems to be much much better. The tab slides in easily but is snug so no chance of it accidently sliding out. The device just seems to fit in much better, but whereas the previous 2 had a cutout for the charging hole this one does not.

Are you talking about the Moto case? You has ones that had a cutout for the charge port?
I had to put one in mine with a hole punch. I had always given the moto case a 99 out of 100 for being such a great case but lacking that one super simple feature.

I really wish they'd get a case that lets you access the Micro USB slot on our device. Using a wireless mouse, BT keyboard, and HD Dock to the TV, that would make me a content customer!
I've bought this case and I love it.
Just recently purchased a Kindle Fire and was wondering what everyone's opinions were as to what the best case(s) are. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
If you're on a budget like me, I would recommend the M-Edge Trip Jacket Foldable Folio Cover Case. I got it for super cheap at an office supply store and it not TECHNICALLY made for the KF (it's for the Kindle Touch, *I think* but it fits a Fire just fine and is nothing fancy but I've put it through hell and it's still holding up. On Amazon it's not cheap and there are better options for the price, but if you go to office depot or staples or somewhere similar, I got mine for about $12, not on sale. Bring your KF with you so you can check and make sure it fits. It looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007L0VMTU/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
If you prefer to order one and want to spend the extra cash, check out: Kindle Fire Lightweight MicroShell Folio Cover by Marware, Black
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V2EVBQ/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8.
It's the one I almost got but I didn't have the money at the time and just needed something simple and cheap.
I hope this helps.

I'm very happy with this case. Almost no added bulk, and feels very sturdy. I got it new for $16 shipped. Shop around amazon.

I currently use this:
Belkin - Verve Folio Case for Amazon Kindle Fire - Black/Red from Best Buy
Works well, bit $$ maybe. I think it has personality though
I've been interested in adding a keyboard, since ICS dev contributions (most notably from Hashcode ... and the band of merry ICS ROM coders) appear to make a USB keyboard viable by On-The-Go (OTG) cable
... and the option I've seen is attached to a cover of it's own:
HDE 7" Tablet Stand with USB Keyboard - Black Faux Leather Carrying Case by PingTab
(from Amazon)
I'm working up to buying this, and then frankensteining the keyboard from it's cozy nest and using it with the belkin case I already have.
yeah, a bit 'O the undead business goin' on down here ...

I have a leather M-EDGE case for my Kindle. It's actually for the e-ink Kindle but the Kindle Fire just manages to fit in it.
I picked up this one when it was on sale for $20
www dot amazon dot com/gp/product/B005KDYA44
(too new to post external links...)
It suits my needs, and I like that it snaps into the tabs instead of the slide-in type cases.
I also just got my kindle fire and after deciding against a no name folio case (my wife has one and it bulky and not very usable). I decided on
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Lightw...G3TC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335840808&sr=8-1
I really like it so far. Very like and keeps the fire at a nice profile so it's easy to hold and not too bulky. I bought it used so it cost me a lot less. And it's Amazon endorsed for the Fire.
Rocket fish case for kindle fire is deff what I'm using and I love it. Its about 30 dollars at best buy its closeable and it snaps into a stand as well if your willing to pay the cash its worth it.

Got my self one ordered 2 weeks ago and waiting mail to arrive to Europe. Nice to see positive comments, can't wait to get my hands on it.
I also have the Marware case, got the graphite color one form Amazon Warehouse deals for $16. What I really want is a Portenzo case, had one for the iPad 1, really great quality case and low profile, but quite expensive, $59.
This case is pricey for $45 but it feels great because it is made of genuine leather. It also has a built in stand.

So we bought our daughter a Kindle Fire for Christmas so that my wife and I could have our phones back.
Both of our phones are in otter boxes.
I'm terrified she will throw this 7" tablet on the floor at one point, and I don't want this investment shattered.
What are some of the best defensive cases out there?
I know otter box makes one for the Kindle Fire, but I refuse to spend $80 on a case for a tablet I only paid $100 for (got it used).

I've used those cases on an s2, s3 and s4, have found them to be a better fit and design than otterbox stuff, after a few knocks the hardshell corners start to break off but at the price they're easy and cheap to replace.

The case is coming from California so I will probably receive it on Friday.
I just received this case in the mail: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Motorol...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item5af8480586
It was supposed to ship from California but it actually came from Sweden (at least it was postmarked in Sweden).
It fits very nicely around the phone. Buttons and openings line up perfectly. Slipping the case into the holster is difficulty as the silicone part of the case doesn't let the case slide easily into the holster so the phone will be used without the holster. I paid $11.50 Canadian and I think it was worth it.
