Surprised this hasn't been a thread yet, or if it has, I couldn't find it  There aren't that many to chose from, so curious what everyone got? I've used tablets naked, and they aren't any fun, a case is necessary. I went with this one: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-MicroShell-Folio-Cover-Marware/dp/B005PB2RZA/ref=kin3w_ddp_pop3_popT/?tag=kindleboards-20Almost looks like a smart cover combined with a back shell, which looks just about perfect  |

I have a m-edge cover that is one that they list that will work with the Fire so I am set initially. I don't think it is a cover I would want to stick with but I will see. IF not, I have time to see what cover options are available. So far the Verso Antique Red one looks like a good option although it isn't real leather but I'm sure there will be many more to choose from so I don't want to rush into that decision.

I've ordered this one:  As I mentioned in the other thread, it's a nice company, I have another one of their sleeves for my iPad. No affiliation.  Betsy |

Nice! I was looking at the Marware covers just this morning. I'd actually picked out one but ended up changing my mind and ordered this one:  (Fingers crossed my first attempt at posting a link works....) Only problem with the rooCase might be that it won't fold into a stand like the Marware. Umm....I may change my mind.... --I've changed your link to an image link. BTW, the easiest way to add a link is to use the BSIN (B005QBK6B6 in this case) and put it into the link-maker (top menu group of every page). Betsy |

If you do a search for Roocase multi-angle and look at some of their other cases, they do set up into a stand. So I expect this one will, too. I'm less concerned; I've used a stand for my Kindle and my iPad, and I will for my Fire, too.

Thank you, Betsy! It's a good day when I learn two things at once (how to make a link and that the case will work)! |

I can't decide! Part of me wants just a sleeve, since I'll use my CoylCushion @ home. But part of me thinks I'll want to be able to prop it up when traveling, & if that's the case, I can't decide between the Folio Cover & the Leather Cover that Amazon recommends. Hmm.

This is the Gardenour Leather case I purchased for my Kindle Fire. It fits the Kindle 3g beautifully with enough room so I know it will fit the Fire perfectly.  |

Hmmm...it's the same ASIN...I think. Checking again. EDIT: Yep, if you click the link in her post below, it takes to the same new images. It could be that they didn't have current pics before. Ellesu--is this the same ASIN you ordered? Betsy |

You want a stand. Think about all the times you use your laptop open on your lap, and then imagine you had to be holding your laptop up the entire time, and you'll see why you need a stand case. It isnt like a kindle, i've owned a few tablet now, and the one universal thing about them is that you want to touch the screen with two hands, not one. Typing, gaming, etc. |

Don't try to convince me to spend money . I know I'd want a stand at home, but I can use my CoylCushion for that. I'd only want a stand for out of the house, and I'm not yet sure how often I'll actually be using the Fire while out. |

I've lived with an iPad for over a year, and I rarely take my stand when I go out of the house. (I use one in the house when on KindleBoards, so I can type on my bluetooth keyboard.) Those times when it really needs to be somewhat upright, there is usually something to prop it up against. My .02, your mileage may vary.

I got a response from Fortte leather that they will be making cases for the K-Fire so hoping they come out with a style I like. They have a lot of color options for the leather and give you other options too. I wish they had the Noreve mounting system. That would make them perfect. Here is the info: Yes we certainly will make all the cases for the Kindle Fire. If you have something specific that you want we can create the case for you. The simple book is an option and it does cover the edges, the largest seller for us is the Keeper design. For the newer eReaders we will introduce more designs, like the 360 Keeper that we already have for the Samsung Galaxy Tab and also a new one that we call the Keeper Revolution that will be a revised version that has the new inputs from the feedbacks we received on our cases. Their web site is www.fortte.com if anyone wants to check them out. I suggested they check out posting as a vendor here to get more input. |

Yep. Same one, Betsy. As you said, there were only two photos when I ordered, but the Technical Details mentioned the detachable sleeve even then. Now I can see how it actualy works. I'm thinking it's a keeper. |

I have been trying to decide on a case and I think I am gonna go with the black one. I dig the multi angled views and you can stand it up landscape or portrait. Very cool. |
