roocase Kindle Fire HD 7 2014 Case, new Kindle Fire HD 7 Dual View Folio Case with Sleep/Wake Smart Cover with Multi-Viewing Stand for All-New 2014 Fire HD 7 Tablet (4th Generation), Polkadot Purple

This is my second rooCASE for a Kindle Fire ... the first one went with my Kindle Fire (1st Generation). This newest version is very much the same except for the cutouts which have been moved to accommodate the 4th Generation device. I looked at all the other cases and decided to stick with the brand that I've used - and liked.While some reviews have mentioned - correctly - that this case is a bit bulkier than some, I'm sure that's the reason it provides more protection. This is a sturdy case for sure and I can tell you that my first rooCASE most certainly protected the Kindle Fire - many, many times over the years. One thing that I love about the design is that the case is not flush with the screen. It overlaps the screen on the edges. So ... what hits the ground first if you drop the Fire screen down? The rooCASE, not the screen!I use both portrait and landscape when I want the Kindle Fire hands-free ... both work just fine. The cutouts are placed correctly. One thing to bear in mind ... if you use the back camera when the rooCASE is on, just make sure to hold the case to the device or you will end up with the case shadow in the photo. I haven't had to manipulate the device in order to charge, power on/off, headphones or volume controls. The fit is perfect.The ONLY thing I don't like about this version of the rooCASE: the stupid stylis/pen holder. As you can see in the product photos, the thing sticks out. So, it can get hung up on something and the stylus just kind of flops around. I'm not even using it. Right along the side next to the stylus holder, a piece of the rooCASE itself can be used to hold the stylus. Works just fine and the stylus is out of the way.This is an attractive, sturdy, functional case ... the first one was super. After several years, and lots of use, it is still in great shape and looks like new. I hope this one is the same and I suspect it will be because the materials and workmanship have not changed. I got the purple - nice, rich color.

Once I FINALLY got it, I love it! The shipping took 3 weeks, but that's for the seller's review. As far as this case goes, I am so tickled with it! Given the low price I was a little skeptical when I ordered it, thinking it would be some cheapo plastic-like material and the color would be weird, but those worries were all for nothing!The case is beautiful and has a nice leather-type feel to it. The color is a gorgeous purple, not as bright-neon as the photo looks, which I'm glad for :). All the access points line up perfectly, and the velcro holds great. Also, the back of the case where the velcro sticks has not picked at all, and I've put it through the ringer these past 10 days (with a little help from my kitten)! Time will really tell, but I don't foresee any problems. It holds great on its side when I'm watching Netflix at night, and it holds great in the vertical position when I'm reading recipes as I cook. Well worth the wait!Update-9/7/15: Another great quality of this case, it cleans up really easily! I've been teaching myself to make bread lately...what a mess! And, of course, I have to look at each recipe on my Kindle 10,000 times as I'm making it lol. This case has had butter, flour, wet dough, and some other things (that I'm now sure don't belong in bread) all over it, inside and out and it just wipes right off. The felt-like interior doesn't seem to absorb any of the goo I've thrown at it...I'm pleasantly surprised!

Incredibly fast shipping! Quality is very nice, considering it isn't leather. It's a really sturdy, 2-piece case, beautifully sewn, and fits my Kindle Fire HD 7 (4th Gen) like a glove, without being tight. Everything is accessible with the cover closed. The outside cover (front and back is all one piece) comes off and can be turned sideways, to stand the Kindle vertically. It has a wide Velcro piece on the inside-back of the cover to stick to the back of the Kindle case, which is entirely covered in soft, Velcro-compatible fabric.A stylus comes with the case, and has a pen on one end...stylus on the other. Nice. :) Fits the stylus loop perfectly.I purchased mine in Red, and it is true red; it shades neither to orange, nor to burgundy. The color is plenty bright without knocking your eyes out. Hope this helps, if you're having a hard time deciding which case to purchase. The price and quality can't be beat.This is my 3rd or 4th Kindle with as many covers. The only cover somewhat better than this was my first one...and it was leather. And also red. :)And, no...I wasn't paid to write this. :) Not affiliated, yadda-yaddaUPDATE: 5/14/2017Well, I'm finally needing to replace my Kindle case. It's always being flung somewhere, yet it's still holding up just fine. It's still functional, just looks rather tired and weather-beaten. LOL I have not treated it well, at all.
