[Q] Case recommendation - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I want to buy a Kindle Fire HDX 7". I was wondering if anyone knew of a bumper case you can buy for the KFHDX 7"?
I have a bumper case like this one http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Tou...1-catcorr&keywords=casemate+samsung+galaxy+s3 on my Galaxy S3. I really want something the same for a Kindle.

I have the official magnetic case, usually I dont buy expensive ones but I am very happy with it. It is worth every penny.

I have the iBlason slim fit cover. less than $10, stands at 3 different angles in landscape, stands up in portrait, does auto sleep/wake and comes with a stylus.

HP 10.2" Mini Sleeve

HP WV594AA 10.2" neoprene sleeve originally for an HP Mini
Just picked up one of these today off the shelf at Best Buy and it fits my Transformer Prime + keyboard dock like a dream. Snug but not overly tight. The front pouch is also nice to carry extra tidbits. I like to store the tablet attached to the dock but some of the other sleeves were a little too tight. This one is perfect and the zipper closes smoothly without too much extra wiggle room.
Amazon link will be added soon when I am able to post outside links per XDA rules.
Just thought I would let everyone know in case they need a relatively cheap high-quality sleeve.
I also picked this case up yesterday and as the OP states, it's a great little case for the prime/dock. Amazon link provided below and you save 9 dollars ordering from amazon than from picking it up at Best Buy. Of course... then there is shipping.

I've been using my 7" Acer one sleeve for mine.
It is a great sleeve for the TF201, but it stretches out and doesn't fit very well after a couple months of use.
Does anyone know of a good fitting sleeve that has a handle on it? I think the reason my HP sleeve has stretched is because I carry it around under my arm quite a bit.
BUILT makes a sleeve pouch that's called the envelope. It has a main pouch that fits the tablet and keyboard perfectly and also has a front pocket for your accessories. I've been using it for several months now and enjoy it. They also make a version with an over shoulder strap. Both are for sale on Amazon last I checked.
Edit. Its made from Hugh quality neoprene wet suit grade material. Quite stretchy!

I'm kinda liking this one because of the shoulder strap and the clear front. Since I wouldn't use it near water, I wish they had a similar one made from leather or neopreme.

What is the thinnest folding case available?

What is the thinnest folding case available
I am looking for a case for the 300 that is as thin as possible. I really only care about scratch protection, I don't expect it to protect from drops (not that most case will provide that protection anyways). I do need it to have a stand function to watch movies. Since this is already thicker than prime I want to minimize that as much as possible.
Even the cheapie vinyl thin case that came bundled with the Acer a500 at costco would be fine. It was very thin.
The case I have for my ipad2 is tapered at the edges to keep the profile as thin as possible instead of being just squared off at the side edges. In other words, it should wrap around the side edges like a glove.
i just ordered the MOKO slim fit case from amazon. I hope this caters to your needs. it's slim and tough enough to even withstand drops.

decent but not quite what I am looking for. The case you are talking about clips or hooks onto the tablet in about4 to 6 areas (4 corners plus maybe 2 additional top and bottom). It leaves alot of the edge exposed. On th eplus side it is usually a hard back case so decent protetion.
However, what I had in mind is a case that slips all around the edges of the tablet. Most cases are designed like this but except what I have in mind would be slimmer with the edges tapered to match the edge of the tablet but still wrapping the entire tablet (except at the ports). Hard to tell, but I think this case fits that description but it is for tf101 only:

Honestly? I am still waiting for something the like the shell+smartcover that my mom's Ipad has. That really is brilliant stuf.
For now I found this to be the thinnest sleeve/cover/whatever
Urbanflip series on HandiHeldItems
I have one and had to adjust the hole for the headphone jack.
But it works pretty good, is a lot thinner that some other case I bought and has a cut out for the charger.
But an Ipad-like smartcover .. to me that's the bomb

Wow, that's almost exactly what I'm looking for - just with the ability to use it with the dock! They have this one on their site that does just that:
HHI Keyboard Case with Slim Portfolio Stand Cover for Asus Transformer Pad TF300
I have a carbon fiber leather case for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and won't buy another case unless it's the same material, it looks so slick and resists scratches and hides dirt like no other case. Since getting it, I've taken out the tablet probably 3 times!
Good find!

All 3 of these are pretty much the same and is the thinnest case out in the market:

I also found a similar case on Ebay but it looks slitghtly cheap. I wish it wasn't microsuede:

This case is also very thin but I can't find it anywhere outside of the wholesale site:

Bobj TF300 Protective Silicone Case

On Transformerforums i found a post from a certain Bobjgear where he announces a rugged silicon case for our beloved TF300.
It will be for sale on all Amazons around mid-june.
I think this will be my case.
While the Gumdrop and all those leather cases will make the tablet too bulky and all others like Armor Shield protect nothing but just some scratches.
Good thing is that it will be for sale on all Amazons so P&P will not be too ridiculous. I am refreshing Amazon everyday now.
Link doesn't work bro.
Nevermind, its working. I like those cases, I'm tired of waiting for gumdrop. They should have had the tf300 case in production a long time ago.

Using this for about 2 weeks. Great case. Only negative is the case weighs roughly twice as much as tab. Foam probably better like m edge for ipad supershell. Light case.
I want one of these

You can now also buy silicone skin on eBay. It is much cheaper and works great with TF300. Must have for every Asus owner!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251137668359
That's a nice one too! But not comparable to BobJ's case.
Pro of this one is that it will keep your tab less bulky and lighter then BobJ's case.
Con is that it will not give you that much protection like BobJ's case, which is much more bulkier but then again much more drop proof for idiots like me.
Just got mine in today. I feel so much safer already. This is a very nice case, thanks Bobj!!!

Just to update an older thread. I just got one of these silicone rubber skins off Ebay. It's very nice and will do the job. It's no Gum-Drop or BobJ but it's a lot less bulky too.

Cover or Case

Has anyone found a good cover or case. There seems to be very little available even on eBay?
Check Amazon there are several. Got mine for $12.

What did you get? Do you like it? I haven't been able to find any "non-folio" cases. I don't want a flap, just some good corner protection
This is a fantastic case. It's magnetic so it wakes it and puts it to sleep. It's slim, it fits perfectly, and the front can be folded to stand it up. They have a ton of colors and it looks really nice. It's only $15 shipped!

Im getting the me176cx and need a good case, theres loads, any recommendations would be welcome, do people also bother with screen protectors nowadays??
thanks
I'm not worried about a screen protector but only because of the way I use mine. If I had children playing with it or used it in harsh conditions, I would.

This Christmas I gave Memo 7 tablets and BobjGear covers to all my grandchildren. I dont know what you mean by "good", but for me, the kids drop them a lot and I have not had to replace one yet. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Did anyone spot a nice genuine leather sleeve or folio for either ME176C or ME572C (I have both ) . I have one PU leather folios for the ME176C but not only was it cheap, it looks even cheaper, has a lousy feel, adds lots of bulk and weight and the built-in stand is pretty much useless.
I'm thinking of getting an iPad mini sleeve as it has exactly the height (but more depths and less width) and there're plenty to choose from...
I got the official ASUS case for my ME572CL. Not the folio smart case, which is way too expensive, but the soft silicon rubber one. Cheaper, looks nice, thin and offers reasonable protection, but I really don't recommend it - they have tried to keep the edges thin so that they don't cover any of the glass screen, so the fit is much too loose. Also it has no magnets and no strap or fastner, so the screen cover just flaps open. Because of these flaws the case is not really fit for purpose and I find myself taking it off whenever I actually use the tablet would have been better off just buying a cheap nexus 7 sleeve.
Well, meanwhile I was doing a little research and figured out that iPad Mini Sleeves (which can be found in abundance) would be a perfect fit due to the exact same length. However thanks to a strike here it's been in somewhere in the mail for just shy of 2 weeks now...
I think the nexus 7 2013 size is a much closer fit.

You're totally right. Thanks for the tip.
Can anyone recommend a good "bumper" case? You know, a rubbery one that just slips on (covers the back and edges only, no front cover) and protects it a bit from falls?
What's a good case for the 176ce?

Soft Neoprene Sleeve Zip Case Cover 11.6 - 12.5"inch Chromebook Laptop Netbook

Soft Neoprene Sleeve Zip Case Cover 11.6 - 12.5"inch Chromebook Laptop Netbook Review
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=131282464412&alt=web - 6.99GDP
I purchased this pouch from ebay as I needed something to keep my tablet in whilst I decided what permanent solution I was going to have. I chose red and black but there is different options available.
It came in a large envelope and was not folded. Last time I purchased something this size it was folded and left a nasty fold in the middle.
The pouch is of good quality and my tablet fits in comfortably. The zips feel strong and not like these cheap ones that split open and fall apart.
The pouch is strong enough to keep it free from scratches if you're transporting it in bags and briefcases, however it probably won't protect it from drops and knocks, especially dropping from height. It most certainly won't stop the screen shattering if something was to land on it.
The outside is a soft and smooth stretchy material and the inside is made of something similar except has a slight flocking to it to protect the case of the tablet and screen.
PROS: Cheap and quick solution to keeping your pride and joy safe, good quality, decent zips and materials
CONS: Won't protect from strong knocks and bumps.
I need one of those! Does this Note Pro 12.2 fit tight in there or is it loose? Thanks!
dja2k
It's not so tight as it's hard to close and it's not loose enough for it to move about. But what I have done is take the keyboard from my keyboard case combo and fit them both in the sleeve.
I think comfortable is the word.
Ah nice! Good to see more people using a sleeve Much more practical than a flipcover.
I've got a similar one, but it's from Samsonite, and it's for 13.3 laptops. This one's the one I've got: http://www.samsonite.co.uk/colorshi...13.3inch-dark-brown-turquoise/58130-2079.html
Also fits my keyboard and a ton of other stuff, pictures are in the Accessories thread.
Those aren't sold in the US though, so this is a great option for those who want one.

I am strangely attracted to that. I read in one of your previous reviews or accessories you have a messenger bag from the same people. But at £80 ish it's a pretty large investment. Fair enough ill be protecting my tablet, but will look about for a cheaper version first! But it's definitely on my wish list.

I have something similar to this. It fits well on my tablet. I got mine on ebay for a couple of quid so if it didn't fit then I wouldn't have lost much. If you can take the plunge and write a review. I'm sure others would be interested in your opinion of it.
I have some ebay bucks coming my way on April 1st, so I am gonna hold of til then to order one of these. In the meanwhile I had gotten this one 11.6"/12.1" Black Neoprene Notebook Laptop Sleeve Bag Pouch which will have to do til then. Thanks!
