For Christmas I purchased a Kindle Fire for my 7-year-old. I knew that my first accessory was going to be a protective case and it had to be a good one. I wanted to make sure that the Kindle could survive a few tumbles, drops and falls. I purchased the Fisher Price Kid-Tough Apptivity Case for Kindle Fire, which has worked nicely. After 6 months of abuse it has held up, but it is starting to look worn. So its time to get a new protective case. The good news is that the selection of protective cases has improved and the prices have dropped. Here were my choices.
i-Blason ArmorBox Kido Series Light Weight Super Protection Convertible Stand Cover Case for Apple Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 Inch Tablet Kids Friendly. This protector sports a sturdy case with a handle for easy carrying, especially for little hands. At $14.99, it's also inexpensive.
OtterBox Defender Series Protective Case for Kindle Fire HD 7", Pink/Papaya (with built-in screen protection). A good looking case, but it comes with a hefty price tag ($69.95)
Bobj Rugged Case for Kindle Fire HD 7 - BobjGear protective cover - Gotcha Green $21.95
Devicewear Station: Protective Drop Resistant Heavy Duty Case for Kindle Fire HD 7" (Black) -$26.95. This is the heavy-weight in the group and at a great price.
Gumdrop Cases Drop Tech Series Protective Case Cover for Kindle Fire, Blue - With Screen Protection (does not fit Kindle Fire HD) $49.95
Fintie (Blue) Casebot Kiddie Series Light Weight Shock Proof Handle Case for Kids Specially made for Kindle Fire HD 7 (will only fit Kindle Fire HD 7") - Multi Color Options $9.95. No sure how well this one may hold up, but at under $10 its worth a look.
After reviewing all of the contenders, I purchased the Devicewear Station: Protective Drop Resistant Heavy Duty Case for Kindle Fire HD 7" (Black) -$26.95.
