I have this for my Kindle keyboard and found it fits my new Kindle fire nicely. If you have one laying around or if you can find a good deal for one, this may work very well.

Case isn't a perfect fit
I tried out that case at Best Buy and the fit was really close. One of the cases didn't fit at all and another only kinda fit.
The problem is the edges of the case don't cover the Fire like they do for the Kindle Keyboard so the Fire is just kind of wedged into the bottom holders and feels like it could pop out at any minute. Not exactly a feature you want in a case.
I do like the case but if you're going to get it you might want to take your Fire to Best Buy and see if it fits before buying it.
I got the m-edge for the fire and it works great.

I had this for my Kindle 3 as well and fits the Fire perfectly
I also use the M-Edge Trip Jacket Folio Cover Case for the Kindle Touch on my KF. I like it. It was very, very, cheap at the local office supply store (less than half the price on Amazon, before shipping). It's sturdy, simple, and has been through a lot and is still holding well.
Also, yes, it looks like it may not hold well because of the bottom corner pieces, but I've had it for about 5 months now and it hasn't come out unless I have purposely taken it out. I do recommend bringing your KF with you to the store though so you can make sure it is what you want. It's great for people like me on a tight budget.

I bough this the same day I bought my Fire. I love it. The fit is great and the protection is good.
The price was a little steep ($29 on Amazon), but I'm very happy with it. I think it also looks very nice on the Fire too!

Great case, I got it the same day as my fire too.
Post up some action pics please!
I received this case as a gift with my fire and I like it quite a bit.
I can see that this case is more expensive than many others out there. That said, it really is a great case that offers quite a bit of protection in a stylish exterior.
Pics with my next post.
I was really unhappy with this case because it felt cheap and the strap is glued on not attached through the case. I just don't trust that the glue won't come off a few months down the road. Can anyone that has the case attest to the ruggedness of the strap?
My three year old put the strap to the test this morning by spinning the Kindle around BY THE STRAP on my case. It held up fine to that. I really like this case. =)
I hated the case and sent it back. Was flimsy as a stand and the material was like a magnet for cat hair.
http://slickdeals.net/f/4050922-Amazon-Kindle-screen-protector-kindle-case-bundle-sale-coupon-12-95
that code gives $21.95 off the order. I ordered two cases (one for my wife as well) and they came to $17 and change. I've no interest in the screen protector but someone else might.
Good find! Let us know how you like it!
My purpose for them was to color code the 2 I have, and for that they work great. They are cheap. The rubber is a perfect fit but its not stiff and as such its easy to flexit away from the device. The stand is impossible to lift without a fingernail or a coin or some other tool.
It does a good job of protecting the kindle. The colors are very nice in person. The stands are solid and hold the kindle at a good angle.
Id say if you don't like leather and you're looking for a cheap case. This is ideal

I bought this case as well. The case prevents your fingers from accidentally shutting the KF off. It's decent for the money. The rubber casing along the sides is a little flimsy.

Damn didn't see this till now, totally would have got one!
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.

Thanks for help. I will look into both.
Any other suggestions are welcomed.

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.
Awesome cases, but a bit expensive
Check out http://www.oberondesign.com/Kindle_Fire.php
The quality of these is very impressive.
My wife got one of these for me and I am very happy with it!

Those look great but the price is kinda steep for a $200 device.

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

(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.

Yeah, I really like that one aside from the price.
This case will be arriving on Tuesday. I'll post my thoughts Tuesday night or Wednesday.
Hi guys!
Just wanted to share with you (and comment on) the experience on my new MicroShell Folio Kindle Fire Cover which I've received today, after ordering it on eBay for $29.
I must say I'm very pleased with this case, it's more then I've expected. It looks really good, feels solid, feels nice to hold in hands and it adds very little bulk to the Fire. The strap is useful for reading, but it's primary function is to hold the front lid closed or open. Also, I' was nicely surprised when I realized it can be used as a "lower" stand (see pictures), which is definitely more useful and also stable compared to the original "higher" stand - the trick is that you stick the front lid to the strap on the back of the case, instead to the slot original meant for that. Hope you get what I'm talking about, if not look through the pics carefully and you will see the difference between two stand modes.
All in all, I'm happy with this buy and recommend it. It made Kindle even more functional and coooooler.. ;-)
I enjoy mind as well, though I will warn you that the back of mine started peeling after a week of use.

That's not nice to hear. That happens within a year and I'm sending it back
I've had this case on my fire since Christmas. It is still in perfect condition. It's the perfect balance of function, weight, and durability.

I got my Fire used about a month and a half ago and it came with this case.
The original owner got it back around Christmas and he has 3 small children which were also using it.
When he got an iPad3 and stopped using the Fire his wife made him sell it.
I fully agree with everything the OP said.
After months of heavy use it still holds the Fire securely and it still looks good.
I highly recommend this case.
Thanks for the review as I ended up going with this case. It looks nice and the stand works well.
I..
I just wanted to say that I have had this case for 3-4 months now and I really like it. I haven't had any issues with it peeling or anything like that and I used my KF every day. This is a good, sturdy case.
This is the case I'm rocking. I think it is great, by far the best I could find and wasn't too expensive
Sent from my Kindle Fire running 4.1/Jandy Cane
I had a white one for me and a Pink one for my Daughter. The pink one held up much better than the white, no peeling, the white one peel within a month
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 have a sedio active case. It's very protective, as long as you have the active stand case. It should survive a toss to the ground.

Is there a gumdrop case for the Fire? They're rather durable and protective.
