I bought this body suit in red and blue. Nice case, fits perfectly, the openings for speakers/connections/etc. all just fine, bit of a lip to give some protection if Fire is laid face-down, nothing about the case interferes with anything. Adds a nice zip of color around the edge, just enough to be good-looking, not enough to be obtrusive.
The case fits snugly on the Fire adding a little bit of thickness, but just enough not to be annoying. I bet that Kindle with this "skin" on it still will fit in most of sleeves and pouches designed for that device. The "skin" is made of a plastic material that has rubbery, elastic quality to it. It's not as elastic as rubber would be but it's not rigid either. To give you an idea let me say that it is softer and more elastic then the "rubbery" back of Kindle Fire. That is a bit of disadvantage in my opinion. While the "skin" is easy to install and wraps around the device in tight fit, it is very easy to pull on its edge with two fingers and give you a scare that it's about to come off. It won't and instead it will promptly snap back on the Kindle as soon as you let go but it makes me wonder how many accidental stretches of that kind it can take before it looses its "memory" and starts hanging like a loose shirt? It is of course very easy to avoid pulling it but if you keep your Kindle in a protective sleeve you should get into a habit of grabbing it on the bezel to take it out.
The openings cut out in the "skin" for the speakers, on/off button, headphones and the power cord are well aligned. Well, maybe those for the speakers could be done with slightly better accuracy but they are still good as they are. And yes, the on/off button does not stick out (!) no more turning off the Kindle by accident. Before I used the "skin" it was becoming a major annoyance.
The back of the "skin" is made of a harder plastic material adding more protection. It relieves you from worry that you can scratch, stab, moisten or damage in other ways your Kindle Fire while putting it aside. The "skin" is tough enough to take the brunt (if not all) of damage on itself. It won't protect the screen of course but that's the choice you've already made if you are considering buying this.
The sides of the "skin" are grooved making it easier to hold. The "skin" is not a piece of art as you can clearly see from the pictures but it blends with the Kindle very well to become almost unnoticeable. Just like I wanted. I'm looking at the back of this cover and seeing the smudges and microscopic scratches I am thanking myself for buying it. Life happens. For $5.95 it's a winner (I see that the price has gone up since then).This case was purchased for my daughter's Kindle Fire (which is amazing) to keep it safe from accidental damage. It is nice and grippy in the hand, feels tight and fits very well. (It also keeps the Kindle from sliding on the table when the cats play Slice-It)
The front of the case wraps just enough to cover the bezel but not so much that it interferes with the incredibly responsive touch screen. It also keeps the screen from coming into contact with the table (or the floor) if it is placed face down.
The color is a beautiful clean blue color without the streaks that can sometimes be seen in other TPU type cases. All cutouts are clean and perfectly placed to allow access to speakers and ports.Think cell phone gel skin. The Kindle Fire slips nicely into this case. It provides a modicum of protection for the Kindle without adding any weight or bulk. I bought one for each family member that received a Kindle for Christmas. Each got a different color, and that allowed everyone to easily identify their device. It also makes it a bit easier to grasp/hold. It was the least expensive Kindle case I saw online.No regrets buying this product. Inexpensive, very light weight, protects the Kindle and grippy enough for a better feel when holding the Kindle. I also like the color. Mine is mostly blue with hints of purple depending on how the light shines on it.
