Best Kindle Fire HD Cases

The Kindle Fire HD is relatively new, but a number of excellent Kindle Fire HD cases are available to protect the Kindle Fire HD and the 8.9-inch model.

The Kindle Fire HD is a resilient tablet, but in the hands of children or users who take the tablet to work or outdoors, a Kindle Fire HD case can mean the difference between a broken tablet and one that survives to fall again.

There is no OtterBox Kindle Fire HD case or LifeProof case to deliver rugged protection while leaving the Fire HD open to use, but we can share one case that will protect the tablet under extreme conditions, it’s even waterproof.

For owners who plan to use the Kindle Fire HD to watch videos from Instant Video, there are several cases with built-in kickstands that prop the tablet up in landscape mode. These are also helpful for users who plan to chat with the front facing camera.
