It seems like all that comes up when you do a basic search on Amazon for ‘Kindle Fire case’ are high-end, and high-priced cases, skins and covers. A Kindle Fire that’s used by a child or teen definitely needs a little extra protection, but you don’t want to spend a fortune on it. Well, we’ve done some digging and found some well-reviewed and attractive options priced between $3 – $16, many in bright colors and designs that will appeal to kids and teens.
For The First-Generation (non-HD) Kindle Fire
Poetic 360 Degree Leather Case (4/5 stars, currently priced at $9.95)
This is the case our Editor in Chief has on her first-gen Kindle Fire. It’s available in blue, black, red, dark brown, pink and purple. Note: you can make your color selection right on the product page.
The case is actually a sleeve and snap-on folder/cover. When your Fire is in the sleeve and the sleeve is snapped into the folder/cover, you can rotate the Fire 360 degrees to use the slots in the folder/cover as a stand. One Amazon reviewer says:
This is a useful cover and I’m glad I bought it. It’s a book-styled cover with slots on the inside flap so that you can use it as a stand; this feature works well. There is a detachable inner case fixed by a rotating snap to the stand; this allows you to rotate the inner case so that the stand can be used to support the Kindle horizontally or vertically. The inner case is Velcro-secured, so you don’t have to stick anything on to the Kindle itself.

Ready. Set. Style
BoxWave’s Style line of products proves you don’t have to sacrifice form for function, or vice versa. The industry’s highest quality cases, covers, and accessories are here to protect and serve, in Style. The DuoSuit for the Kindle Fire is a form fitting Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) case. The dual matte and glossy surfaces come together in an “S” design across the back of the case. DuoSuit’s purposeful “S” design stands for its:
Slim profile
The DuoSuit’s ultra slim, form fitting design fits like a glove instead of a winter coat: providing real protection without adding bulk.
Surprising Strength
The durable construction of the Kindle Fire deserves a case with strength to match. The DuoSuit’s TPU construction provides an optimum blend of high strength, elasticity, and resistance to scratches.
No-Slip Style
Anti-slip grips on both sides of the DuoSuit hug your Kindle Fire to prevent accidental drops.
Sophistication
The DuoSuit is smartly constructed around the Kindle Fire’s dual speakers and 7” multi-touch display. Sophistication knows when to get out of the way.
